<p>Welcome to Rose Hill! You should get in. Fordham will love having you (as would about 1000 other colleges inthe USA). You will love the theater dept. - Collins Theater is a special place.</p>

<p>The Theatre majors are mostly at Lincoln Center and are admitted after auditions. Its highly competitive. (Ditto the Dance students at Alvin Ailey.) </p>

<p>However, if you are applying to FCRH and simply want to engage in theatre as a diversion and something to do (or give back to the school, if you will), while majoring in something else, that is fine.</p>

<p>thanks guys i really appreciate the chancing! :))</p>

<p>and yeahh, i want to do theater as a major. do you think lack of a stellar resume will TERRIBLY hurt me, even if i have a rather awesome (in my opinion, lol) audition? ive been practicing it since september. </p>

<p>BUT do you think an audition will make up for the resumelessness?</p>

<p>I wish I could help you on that last question. I have no clue. Not sure what you mean by resume…as in acting in a community theatre with major parts? Hopefully somebody will come forward and answer it for you. </p>

<p>Best of luck to you.</p>

<p>Auditions definitely matter far more than your resume. Yes, a good resume is helpful, but what they really want to see is your talent. They want to see potential and willingness/ability to learn. If I were you I wouldn’t be too concerned about it!</p>
