<p>they do a sophomore evaluation and if they feel you need to repeat a class for growth purposes to go on to the next level you do that ; they may also suggest the BS program may be more suitable for you or the acting program in general, but you are never at risk of being completely cut out of the program.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if there have been any students accepted in MTheater this year? How soon after your audition do you typically find out? Thanks</p>
<p>I understand that they do not tell anyone until about 3/15, after all auditions.</p>
<p>For Syracuse, there are only two times you find out. If you apply ED, then you find out in the ED round. If you applied RD, you find out mid March. RD candidates do not find out their decisions until all auditions have been completed. </p>
<p>My daughter got in last year. Her acceptance letter was dated March 9. However, a faculty member called several days before the letter came to inform her of her acceptance. I don't know if every acceptance gets the call or not but I do know that all letters go out at that time. Shortly after that, letters about Honors College and about scholarships come under separate cover.

<p>alright, I auditioned on Jan 21 (sat), so if anyone has any questions, feel free to PM me or ask here.</p>
<p>My daughter is a junior and is in the intense-looking stage of college planning. We are going to make some trips to schools during her spring break. She loves MT, has done quite a bit of performing, but is leaning more toward stage management or theater education for a major. Syracuse looks interesting with the opportunity of a stage management major and a minor in something else. She is wondering what types of performance opportunities there are at Syracuse for those who are not performance majors. She doesn't want to give up performing all together once she's in college.
Thanks so much for the help!</p>
<p>Hey....I am currently a sophomore MT at Syracuse and will definately tell you it is an amazing school and a wise choice for anyone. The faculty is top notch and is really focusing on making you the best performer you can be. For anyone applying, they are not looking for the perfect "triple threat". If you were that, you would not need college. I hope you all have a great Valentines Day. If you have questions, feel free to leave posts.</p>
<p>anyoe hear back yet from the jan 27th aud?</p>
<p>I don't believe Syracuse is rolling admissions, so I think everyone hears at the same time (unless they had applied ED and auditioned in the fall) which means everyone will hear usually the first or second week of March maybe?</p>

<p>I've heard that Syracuse puts more emphasis on the dance portion of your audition than a lot of other schools do. Like at a lot of schools it doesn't count for much, but I've heard it counts a lot for admission to Syracuse. And the dance was certainly the hardest of all 10 of my auditions, so I'd believe it, but at the same time I know you can't believe everything you hear. Can you confirm/deny that rumor?</p>
<p>Is there a senior talent showcase?</p>
<p>Yes- but students have to audition to be in it; the number who can participate is limited (but I don't know what the number is).</p>
<p>There is a senior showcase that is done second semester in NYC. They invite several agents/managers or reps of these people to see the students chosen, since it is based on a previous audition. The good thing, is at the initial audition, they invite 2-3 agents to come to Syracuse to witness the audition so at least everyone gets the opportunity to be seen, even if they do not go to NYC for the showcase.</p>
<p>SU also offers other opportunities for seniors. The Tepper Center semester in NYC, where students have the opportunity to audition to got to NYC for a semester of study in the fall of their senior year. I believe they also still have an NYC emersion week in the spring of the senior year for students who do not do to the Senior showcase. Although I am not totally sure that they still do that, so check the website.</p>
<p>It sounds wonderful! And if it turns our performers like julia murney and robb sapp, taye diggs it's gotta be good! It's just sooo expensive and ooo is there a cut program</p>
<p>I went to SU years ago... here is something that I posted on a different thread.... go to the link below to see the entire conversation...</p>
<p>Unless the policy has changed significantly.... you evaluate at the end of your sophomore in order to be passed on to upperlevel Acting and MT Performance classes. Students who are not passed on may not register for those upperlevel classes. These classes are required of the BFA students, but not of the BS students. However there is no BS in Musical Theatre. So, basically any student in the MT program who did not pass the sophomore evaluation would not be able to complete the BFA degree. It sounds as if what BrendanN is saying is that any student who does not pass the sophomore evaluation (and has exhausted the re-evaluation/ petition system) may remain in the department and complete the requirements for a BS in acting. If you go to the Drama curriculum website <a href="http://www.vpa.syr.edu/index.cfm/page/acting-curriculum%5B/url%5D">http://www.vpa.syr.edu/index.cfm/page/acting-curriculum</a> you can see the differences between the BFA - Acting and the BS - Acting curriculum, and there is a link to the BFA - Musical Theatre curriculum there.</p>
<p>This was posted on that trhead by NotMamaRose who just visted SU with her D...</p>
<p>At the end of sophomore year, the students undergo "juries" or an "eval" (as the people at SU seemed to refer to it!). At that point, some of them continue along the BFA track and enter upper level acting and musical theater classes, whereas the others cannot, and channel that "extra" time into more academic classes. (Of course, as terriwtt points out, some students <em>choose</em> to go that route and can even fashion a minor -- or, in rare cases and usually in the straight acting track -- a double major in something that they are interested in or that they think augments their career as an actor.) The very nice people at Syracuse did say that <em>most</em> students do pass into the upper level classes and that this is not a "cut" system. We also learned that actors and MTs (and I think I have this right!) on both tracks (BFA and BS) can study (a number of things) abroad in London and Italy, but only the BFAs can study at the Tepper Center in New York, because that involves upper level acting courses. My D and I both enjoyed our visit very much.</p>

<p>I am a Junior MT major who has passed evals. Your info about the eval process is correct. You never get "cut" from the program. You just get a different kind of diploma whether you pass or not. If you get a BS though, you are still allowed to do shows in the department and study abroad. So basically, evals aren't as stressful as they are made out to be. It isn't a cut system.</p>
<p>SuttonwannaB - Congratulations of passing your evaluations!! I remember that although it was not stressful in the sense of being afraid of being cut, it was stressful from the perspective of wanting to feel like you did your best, and were growing. It is a wonderful feeling to have that hurdle behind you :).</p>
<p>Were u there while I was?</p>
<p>Not likely.. I graduated in the early 1990s :)</p>
