<p>Okay so the USC School of Theater is definitely my first choice school to go to, and i'm going for a BFA in Acting. Does anyone know how competitive this is to get into? </p>
<p>And do they care that much about SATs and GPA considering this is theater?</p>
<p>My SAT is NOT GOOD in USC's standards (1970/2400 or 1340/1600) and my GPA is UNSPEAKABLY HORRID (3.24/4.0 unweighted :-O) and if I weren't applying for THEATER I wouldn't be asking this because I know I wouldn't get accepted for other majors.</p>
<p>I think my acting ability is pretty decent because for the North Texas Drama Auditions, 27 schools called me back including the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music - Drama (very good theater program) which offered me admission and scholarships.</p>
<p>In layman's terms, Talent-wise I think I might have a good chance, but would they not consider me regardless of how I audition because of my GPA and SAT??</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>for BFA i believe that it's based on both gpa/sat and audition...but the audition can make a big difference. if you are extremely talented and they really want you, they will do what they have to do to get you, despite a lower gpa. also, your essays are important as well. my film acting teacher is a part of the faculty at the usc theatre school and he told me to make sure my essays are good...this same teacher will also be writing a letter of rec for the usc theatre school (i'm applying bfa as well, with ba theatre as my 2nd choice major).</p>
<p>i'm kinda have a dilema too.. i have pretty much good/average USC stats: 1950 SAT suberscore, 3.82 unweighted gpa, 10 ap classes completed by graduation, A LOT of leadership and community service and awards (president of 2 clubs), good essays....BUT i'm not sure how strong my audition will be. i do not know how i will compare to people across the country you know? i hope with my stats along with a good audition will get me in to the bfa program.</p>
<p>make sure your essays are good and really just wow the audition panel to make them want you! that's all you can do at this point.</p>
<p>good luck with everything!</p>
<p>also i forgot to add....only 30 out of approx. 600 applicants get into the bfa theatre program</p>
<p>thanks a lot! maybe I'll see you at auditions! </p>
<p>good luck to you too!</p>
