Are there any transfer students or parents of transfer students going through the process now that can PM me? I have a few questions about letters of recommendations and applications.
I am in the same boat as you! maybe we can talk because i am stressed as well!
I was hoping to hear from someone who has gone through this process but no one ever messaged me. I’ve been trying to navigate it on my own. I don’t think I have enough posts to pm you yet. Maybe we should just post our questions here so others can help us out. I was wondering about whether or not recommendations from high school teachers are still ok or if they have to come from professors or directors. I haven’t been in any shows at my school yet, so I can’t really get an artistic recommendation from a new director. Any advice would be appreciated.
deleted-- transfer, but not a theater transfer
YES i was thinking the same thing! i am going to get a letter from my professor that is not in an acting class. Maybe get one from a professor that teaches a gen ed. I am applying to a school in the city ad they need a letter of reccomendation to apply. if you need one for the audition i would just use the old one an acting teacher gave you! where are you applying?
I was worried about classmates finding out I want to transfer so I haven’t asked any of my professors. Now that the semester is almost over, I may tell some of them. I’m not sure if I should ask them for recommendations though. Will they be offended that I’m looking to transfer? Will they treat me differently next semester knowing that I’m trying to transfer?
Also, I was going to get a gen ed recommendation but wouldn’t it be better to get one from an acting prof if I’m trying to transfer to an acting program?
Maybe try posting in the musical theatre forum. There might be parents there who can advise.
well i mean for the main application to the university its not just the acting teachers reading it. I think that when you send it to the specific program, yes you need to have a letter for acting specifically but the normal application from the school i think its okay to have a normal Letter of reccomendation
