<p>Hey, I was wondering what the best schools are to recieve a BFA in Musical Theatre. I am strong singer, with a few years of dance and theatre under my belt. I'm looking for something affordable (middle class), medium size, and preferably on the east coast. Although I'm not the best academic student. I know this is picky, but any suggestions?</p>
<p>Hi bdway, welcom to this site. The different topics in the MT area(musical theater) are called threads. Go to the thread list, and look for one close to the top called FAQ link. As you navigate through that section you will see things like the BIG LIST, which contains just about all of the schools that have an MT program, it also lets you know how hard they are to get into. From there you can search for threads about specific schools and of course go to the schools own websites. You can also look for threads regarding applications, audition materials and preparation, what to expect, what to wear, etc. Read, read and read! This is a highly competitive major so the more you know and the better prepared you are the better your chances. Also after you've done a bit of reading don't be afraid to ask questions. There are some very knowledgeable folks on this site who are happy to help.
Good luck!</p>
