<p>I asked a similar question in the Northwester forum and got no response, so I thought I'd try here. </p>
<p>Basically, my question is this: I have heard that to apply to Northwestern theatre you need to submit a resume. Is this true? If so, how much impact does the resume have on your admissions decision?</p>
<p>I would appreciate it so much if someone could help me out with this!! Thanks!!</p>
<p>Most MT/Acting programs require a resume and headshot at some point in the application/audition process - some ask for it with the college app, some have an audition application that requires HS&R, some require it with other prescreen material, and most also ask for them at the actual audition.</p>
<p>Yes, that is true. I was just wondering because Northwestern is a non-audition BA program and I was wondering if, to apply as a theatre major, a resume was required or suggested.</p>
<p>ask momcares- I believe her daughter goes to NU.</p>
<p>Our D was told to send a resume and headshot once the rest of her application was complete. It is not part of the Common Ap, so I assume aps are still considered without them, but if you have an impressive resume it can only help in NU’s very competitive admissions situation.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
<p>I forgot to say that if you don’t already own professional headshots, I would NOT buy them just for college applications/auditions. Just use a recent great shot you already have, or get a friend to take some, or design your senior photos so that they’re suitable.</p>
<p>Above all, be sure to have fantastic grades, test scores, essays and build an impressive list of ECs that demonstrate your theatre accomplishments and passion.</p>
