<p>Hi, this is my first post ever. I'm about to start my senior year and am looking at BA and BFA programs. I know that stage acting is what I want to do as a career but I still would like to take some classes outside of acting in college. Here are some stats</p>
<p>SAT-2070 (am going to retake in september and will take subject tests)
CR-720
Math-660
Writing-690</p>
<p>4 AP's with 5 next year and duel enrollment at local com college
GPA-3.71 weighted-4.06
ranked 38/459</p>
<p>I'm looking for a really good BA program with a strong focus on acting and would allow me to take other courses or a BFA acting that would allow me to get at least a partial liberal education(maybe 60-75% acting, 40-25% other)</p>
<p>*** I CAN NOT SING AT ALL***programs must be more focused on acting than MT</p>
<p>-am looking for liberal arts colleges and universities
-northeast, midwest, great lakes area, eastern and central area large city or small town near a large city, these are just preferences, am willing to go elsewhere if its a really great program</p>
<p>*need somewhere with decent finacial aid or merit aid(when i did the EFC calculator it said about $5,000 from my parents)</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone on this site, this place is awesome and has already been really helpful!</p>
<p>Hey guys, so now I’m a little more familiar with the site, I’ve found out alot of information on a lot of other threads, if you still want to post about colleges you think would really suit me though, that would be awesome.</p>
<p>How about Sarah Lawrence?</p>
<p>I guess I’m going to be the poster child for Adelphi for a while, but I am going to suggest that you look at it. There is a Theatre BFA, in Acting or Design, also a Theatre Minor, both auditioned. You can’t double major, but there is ample time for liberal arts, including an Honors College that provides a Great Books Foundation. Students in the Honors College have very high academic qualifications and interest, and their grad school placement is quite impressive.</p>
<p>Adelphi has no MT major, and although it does have great departments in Music and Dance, there is no MT performance season; the focus is on plays. There is a standard study abroad semester at LAMDA.</p>
<p>The BFA is difficult to get into, but has higher acceptance rates than the programs most people look at (Purchase, Michigan, CMU, BU, Minn/Guthrie, etc.). Your stats are similar to my D’s, and without filling out any forms or extra applications she was awarded a talent/merit scholarship that will cover virtually all of her tuition for 4 years.</p>
<p>Adelphi is about 40 minutes by train from Manhattan, on western Long Island. They do not audition at Unifieds, but they will take video auditions if necessary.</p>
<p>Take a look at their website. It might be a good “more likely” school for you as you build your list (can’t say safety among auditioned schools). My D wanted a BFA, but definitely preferred a school where she would have a valuable liberal arts experience.</p>
