The New School BFA Acting Program

<p>Anyone apply to this program?
My S loved his audition at the NYC unifieds for this school.
I don't know much about it. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>No one knows much about it because it is a brand new program. The only thing you can really compare it against I suppose is it’s MFA program which has been around since 2005.</p>

<p>Hi! I’m also a current New School BFA applicant. I think the best resource for finding out more about the program is: [Drama</a> :: BFA :: Academics :: BFA Drama Curriculum](<a href=“http://www.newschool.edu/drama/bfa-drama-curriculum/]Drama”>Academics | School of Drama | The New School) and <a href=“http://www.newschool.edu/uploadedFiles/Drama_2/Documents/BFA%20Drama%20Course%20Descriptions%20PDF.pdf[/url]”>http://www.newschool.edu/uploadedFiles/Drama_2/Documents/BFA%20Drama%20Course%20Descriptions%20PDF.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Though it seems like kind of a dumb move to link you right to their website, it was only updated to elaborate upon the BFA very recently, and those pages are what best helped me understand the program.</p>

<p>From my interview, I gather that they aim to accept 36 of us, for 2 classes of 18 to stick together in core theatre requirements. I think (THINK) they said that would be 30 actors, 6 directors/playwrights/designers/technicians. They said it might be a little less, this year. We’d all be earning the same degree in different concentrations.</p>

<p>I personally got the acceptance call this morning, but the program deadline isn’t until April 1 (again, I THINK), so I’m sure more admissions are rolling.</p>

<p>Brooklyn0323 - What program were you accepted to? Acting?</p>

<p>Congrats on your acceptance Brooklyn0323!! was it for acting? Thanks for the links. The information on thier site has changed since the last time I checked. My S loved his audition at New School. Do you know anythining about how they are with financial aid or scholorships?</p>

<p>Thank you! I was accepted for Directing. I’m not sure about financial aid, sorry! I assume that info will be in the physical acceptance packet, which (on the call) they said they’d be mailing out shortly.</p>

<p>just got an email saying they are still accepting applications for this program
My D did not go thru with sending in all the information or auditioning since we felt it wasn’t for her but Best of Luck!</p>

<p>Congrats Brooklyn0323! I’m incredibly impressed by their program, that’s wonderful news.</p>

<p>My son got a phone call about an hour ago accepting him into the program. He is stunned and thrilled…he did a walk in at Unifieds in NYC.</p>

<p>Congrats Photomom5!!! That is great news!!!</p>

<p>Photomom5---- great news! :-)</p>

<p>Wow, photomom, this sounds like a game-changer for your son–what do you think he’ll do? You haven’t visited at all, right? Congratulations to him! :)</p>

<p>YAY photomom! Will he go visit? sounds cool. For whatever reason, my S didn’t like New School at all after visiting. I have no concrete idea why. Their program sounds terrific to me. Keep us posted!</p>

<p>Congrats photom5! Nice to see some postive news come in.</p>

<p>Awesome, congratulations everyone!</p>

<p>Congratulations, photomom!!!</p>

<p>Thank you all…a total game changer. I think he is half packed and ready to go.</p>

<p>Congrats to all these New School acceptances, I needed a happy place to visit, phew.

<p>Amazing news! My D received her acceptance letter to New School this afternoon. We are so thankful!!</p>
