<p>I am a non-traditional transfer that is looking at the BFA Acting/Theater Programs at both Marymount Manhattan and Pace. I already have a backup school, and I am also applying to Juilliard, NYU-Tisch, SUNY-Purchase(I definitely meet the standards for admission here because I was accepted last year, but for non-acting), as well as DePaul University(in Chicago). Now that my background info is out of the way, I am interested in knowing how Marymount Manhattan and Pace's programs compare to each other. I am particularly interested in learning the focus of the two programs as well as how well they are received by the industry. I am also quite aware that there are casting directors on staff at Pace, but I am looking for the right artistic "home", so to speak.</p>
