<p>what scores are typically needed for university entrance for musical theatre? is it around the 1600-1800 mark? i just got my SAT scores back and i did horribly (managed to fail math, yet got close to full marks for writing... and this was the first SAT test i've done.. with.. little preparation)</p>
<p>There is no “typical” scores for MT college admissions. Each college has a different set of admissions and selectivity standards for their college (and not specifically for MT either). Each college publishes the range of SAT scores of admitted students to that college. It can usually be found on their website under admissions and in many college directories such as the Fiske Guide or Princeton Review directory of colleges or I believe even on the College Board site. Some colleges have higher standards than others for admissions. You have to select colleges where your own academic “stats” fit the ballpark for admitted students to that university. For instance a total score of 1800 on the three sections of the SAT would be fine for many colleges but is on the low side for others such as NYU. </p>
<p>To be honest with you, you said you did little preparation. For something that counts for college admissions, it makes the most sense to me to put your best efforts into test preparation to do the best you can do. The effort can pay off and I can’t see leaving it to chance and not preparing for something this important.</p>
<p>ok thanks! yeah i couldn’t really prepare for it cause school was killing me (i do an IB Program - 6 subjects, too rigorous), but i’m planning to revise through the summer and first term of school to be totally ready for the december test date.</p>
<p>that being said, i was predicted 6s and 7s for my IB subjects, so i guess if i work hard i can achieve greatly. this time clearly wasn’t the case lol.</p>
<p>In addition to admission academically (and each school differs on the importance of academics) higher test scores often results in more merit scholarship money.This is another reason to try and up those SAT’s.</p>
