<p>It is possible to get into a BFA program on the second try after being denied the first time if you have trained significantly in the interim and have something new to show this time in your skill set and so on. And of course, new material. Also, it is a positive sign that you got into some BFA programs the first year and so you are competitive it seems. </p>
<p>That said, you need to broaden your list of schools to not be a majority of schools you tried for last time. For example, say you were denied at five schools last year. This year’s list could include maybe two of the ones that rejected you last year but add three new ones that you never applied to before.</p>
<p>While you didn’t ask this…I’m just gonna comment that you mention that you attend a BFA program currently but that it is “rather pricey” and you’d like to transfer. However, you say it is not a problem for you if the new BFA program makes you start over as a freshman (meaning five years of college, not four). I think you need to do a cost analysis. You might save on lower tuition but have to spend five years of tuition, room and board and it might be a wash when you do a sum total of four years of pricey school vs. one year of pricey school plus four of a school that costs less. Just something to go over carefully. It is not like you can compare the cost of each school by the year. You are looking at MORE years of college if you transfer programs and they make you start over as a freshman. However, there MAY be programs that give you soph standing, particularly if you are coming from a BFA program and not a liberal arts program.</p>
<p>Thanks for your concern but I’ve done the math.
I would end up saving money.</p>
<p>Question: How do walk-ins work and although I know they are not guaranteed, what steps should I take in order to better my chances of getting an audition?</p>
<p>Find out in advance if the school allows walk-ins. Several do not.</p>
