Take a look at my list of schools?

College Majors Theater/Drama Majors

<p>After applying last year to mainly reach schools (waitlisted at Emerson, and didn't end up loving URI, my safety) I'm taking a gap year and reapplying. I have a weird GPA situation, very low (2.5) from my freshman and sophomore year and a 3.7 from my junior and senior years after switching schools, making a combined gpa of 3.1. I have a 26 on my ACT with a perfect score in reading and an 1890 SAT. I have been acting for 10 years and have had multiple leads in both high school, community and small professional theaters in my hometown, as well as lots of training. I'm spending 3 months this year in South Africa teaching theater at an under-resourced school, and when I return home I will be working as well as working at a professional theater company as the director's intern. I would rather be in a conservatory BFA program but could also see myself happy in a strong, performance focused BA program. I want to major in acting but access to musical theater education is also very important to me. I posted an earlier version of this list awhile ago, but it's changed a bit since then, so I thought I should repost. This is about how many schools I have time to apply to, so adding more than one or two would mean I have to take away some.

<p>I just want to make sure you know that Fordham’s BA is auditioned.</p>

<p>Also, have you considered Temple? Although there is an audition for the musical theater program there is not for the straight acting program.</p>

<p>And because it is a state school in Pa its tuition is relatively reasonable.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Kyle-Yes it’s me. Noticed you around here too. :)</p>

<p>Kyler- Yes planning on going to Chicago. I’ve kept February clear so I can also do any additional trips for auditions.</p>

<p>Look into Ball State! It’s a great program that would also be at the unifieds. :)</p>
