Ok…anyone have any thoughts or whatever on MT at Youngstown State or Indiana Univ of Pa?
Hi @theaterwork. When my daughter was looking there wasn’t much info available about YSU. Since we live in OH I wanted her to look at it, but she wasn’t interested. I didn’t find much here on CC either. YSU overall (not specific to MT) is not as big-name as other state schools, but you can get some good merit money there with good grades/test scores. You may need to contact them to get more info on MT though.
Thanks @raellis123 . I will get some info from them… Just thought someone on CC might have info.
Sure, not meaning to be a downer about that, just sharing what we experienced. I think I saw one old post at the time, but maybe someone has researched it since then. Can’t help on the other school, wasn’t on our radar.
D looked at IUP and we visited. I loved the school (we got in on Friday night, drove around campus to see how lively campus was, then did the Open House on Saturday).
It appeared as if the music department was heavily involved with the Musical Theatre program (you have to apply to and be accepted to both). We did the music department tour part of the open house and I was throughly impressed with the program (not sure why we didn’t do the theatre session).
D was academically accepted, scheduled her audition for late in the season (April maybe), then canceled when she got accepted to her number one.
D thought the campus was isolated and was disappointed that there was no mall nearby
