<p>Yes. OCU accepts video taped auditions.</p>
<p>I'm sorry- I meant to type something else with my other post.</p>
<p>Why don't we start a list here of the BFAs who accept transfers, and the BFAs that take people with college theatre experience and put them as freshman no matter what.</p>
<p>I know UMich is Freshman only, as is CMU, NYU and CCM I believe. Correct me if Iam wrong. I am unsure about the rest. I remember reading someone transfereing to MT as a sophomore in BoCo, and I think someone earlier posted FSU was welcoming transfers. Everything else, I really don't know.</p>
<p>I know people who have transferred into NYU/Tisch and into BOCO, so I think that information may be inaccurate. Those I know who have transferred into either of these schools did not start over as freshmen.</p>
<p>I recall someone who went to a community college for theatre, transferred to Miami and had start as a Freshman. But I also recall someone who transferred there (when we went to Miami for the audition) and they did not start as a Freshman, so I guess it all depends on where you came from and the classes you took.</p>
<p>Susan, LifesASong said that that someone did transfer as a Sophomore into BoCo. In fact Samia did just that. She had 2 years of MT training from a reputable program under her belt.</p>
<p>Lynn, you're right! :D I read the post quickly and strung the list of schools together about not being able to transfer! My D has a friend who just transferred to your D's school (BOCO), too.</p>
<p>I know another student who transferred to BoCo last year for MT. They must be a hospitable place for transfers.</p>
<p>this may seem like a strange question, but do schools give the same weight to transfers as they do to freshman applicants?</p>
<p>actrss100-well if they're planning on putting you into their freshman class, I believe they do haha</p>
<p>is anyone else thoroughly annoyed that we have to write essays all over again?! haha...I'm like stressin out about it....I just did this!</p>
<p>"Do schools give the same weight to transfers as freshman"</p>
<p>I believe that each school has their own policy... it really all depends of the philosophy of the program.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>is it anyone elses freshman year in college?
if so, are you getting recs from anyone at your new school or are you sticking to teachers from your HS?</p>
<p>Im a veteran transferee with the dubious honor of two in a year, so heres something I can offer that might help with your course selection for next semester. If you take one course in each of the following areas wherever you are, you should have most or all of the general education requirements done at most BFA programs. This will free you up to concentrate exclusively on your training or take other courses of your choice simply because you find them interesting. Im also adding the AP equivalency options that will usually take care of the requirements. This also assumes youre already taking the freshman writing requirement at whichever school youre at which may or may not transfer. AP English from h/s sometimes covers it.</p>
<p>*College Algebra<a href="AP%20Calculus%20AB%20or%20BC">/b</a> If the requirement isn't there, it will knock out an elective.
**Natural Science<a href="AP%20Biology,%20Chemistry,%20or%20possibly%20Physics">/b</a> If the requirement isn't there, it will knock out an elective.
**Humanities<a href="Sometimes%20AP%20US%20History%20or%20European%20History%20will%20cover%20this">/b</a>
**Social Science<a href="AP%20Psychology%20or%20Macroeconomics">/b</a>
**US History<a href="AP%20US%20History">/b</a>
*Other World History/Culture<a href="Think%20far%20eastern,%20middle%20eastern,%20or%20sometimes%20Latin%20American%20history%20or%20cultural%20anthropology">/b</a></p>
<p>Theatre History will usually be the only theatre class that will transfer to most BFA schools from a BA program though most schools don't get to that until around junior year for some reason.

I initially used my h/s teachers until my BFA acting teacher from first semester found out I was leaving and wrote me a really nice one that I sent in as a supplement.</p>

<p>thanks SO MUCH for the great advice!! though i can't use it, i know it'll be really useful for a lot of people when choosing their second semester courses for this year. and if i go back to the school i was at, i'l definitely take your advice, too!!</p>
<p>i hope you're happy at your new program :)</p>
<p>Hey I'm currently an intended BFA MT major @ ECU.
It's a great school with a great department, but I'm not exactly sure it's for me.</p>
<p>Schools I'm planning to audition to:</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon University
Boston Conservatory
Cincinnati School of Music
Emerson (If i can)
NYU Tisch (If I can get in to the school)
Maybe Marymount Manhattan, Webster</p>
<p>I'm not sure what my chances of getting in are, but I had my tonsills out this summer, so my voice has changed for the better, which is definatly a plus. I'm working hard to find the right monologues, and trying to get into the dance groove. I'm a good dancer, but technique wise-I don't have training.
Best of luck to all.</p>
<p>Just sent in the first of many apps to UArts. If everything is secured with the admissions office I should be auditioning January 20th!</p>
<p>I'm kinda a transfer... the mt thing didn't work out this year. I ended up attending Ithaca as an english major and I love it here so I'm not likely to transfer schools, but I'm going to try to get into the theater department again. Trouble is I can't decide what I want to do. I may audition for mt again, but I'm not sure. My singing has improved exponentially, but my acting needs work still, so I will only re-audition if I can go to an audition coach or intensive acting lessons or something over my Christmas break. If I can't do that, however, I might interview for the BA Drama program. It's not what I had originally been looking for, but it would give me more opportunities than I have now and I'm starting to see the benefits that well-roundedness could have from the way my very liberal arts course schedule is already benefitting me. Then again, I could always stick with english and double minor in theater and music. I would have to audition for a music minor, but I got private voice as a non-major so I think I have a shot. <em>whew!</em> confusing!</p>
<p>is anyone doing marymount manhattan?</p>
<p>I am going to be applying to schools as a transfer student from a junior college. I have all of my general education requirements (and then some!), plus theatre, dance, and music courses 'under my belt.' I understand that I will most likely be a freshman in whichever program will have me, so I am curious as to whether or not my status can 'hurt' me in any other way.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any experience or advice for one who is transferring from a junior college with so many credits completed? Are there any schools that would not take a case such as mine? </p>
<p>I thank you for any help that you may offer...</p>
<p>I remember reading on the uarts website that they prefer transfer students.</p>
<p>Has anyone had any experience transfering or in the transfer process with Muhlenberg? I'm thinking of applying there as a safety school, fortunately their transfer app deadline is June 15th so it can be a good last minute back-up school since other decisions come out in April. But it seems like they're as "demanding" with their app process, much like CMU, so I was just wondering if anyone is applying there or has applied there as a transfer.</p>
<p>You will not be considered a "Freshman" at most colleges... however, they may not accept any of your theatre, dance, and music credits. This means that it may take you more than two years to graduate. Most BFA programs suggest that you stay at least three years in their programs... some insist on completing the four year sequence, and some will let you finish in just two years. </p>
<p>If a school is going to accept you and require you to go through all four years of their program I don't think they will hold it against you that you are "older" than the typical first year student.</p>
<p>If a school is going to accept some of your credits and allow you to complete the program in two - three years admittence may be on a space available basis in the class for which you are applying. Some schools will only accept a certain number of students per class. If they already have that number of students in a class there would not be room for any new students.</p>
<p>I would simply check the policy at each of the schools. if they say they accept transfer students into the department then assume that they mean it. You can make yourself crazy trying to second guess. :)</p>
<p>Good luck as you launch into audition "season"</p>
