Theatre Major Acceptance

<p>Hi! I'm extremely interested in this university, and I was wondering how selective the theatre dept. is and how their criteria. (How much is based on grades/recommendations/audition?) I have an average gpa of 3.3, but I don't feel that this accurately represents my time in high school because I had a rough freshman year (a caouple of c's) But then got at and above a 3.5 through sophomore and junior year, in a level and AP classes. Will I be overlooked for my academics? And if anyone knows info about Chapman/USC I would like to know about their admissions too.</p>
