<p>Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any idea of what someone's stats could be that have been admitted to the theatre major at UCLA?</p>

<p>The reason I'm asking is because I have a 4.0 GPA and I've been thinking about what I want to major in and I kept changing my mind over and over again until I finally discovered that what I really want to do is have an education in theatre. This has been my dream since I was little but I got sidetracked by other fields that do nothing for me. I feel like I could have a really good chance to be admitted, after all, you guy's know that when you want something bad enough, any competition tends to fade away. It would be more assuring if I could have an understanding of my competition. I searched all the UC posts and found nothing on this subject!</p>

<p>Ultimately, I want a career in theatre - either teaching it or doing it.</p>

<p>Can anyone help me out? Thanks.</p>

<p>Admissions</a> | UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television</p>

<p>Admission to the theatre department at UCLA is very, VERY competitive. In 2008, 215 students applied for transfer as theatre majors, and 26 were admitted. Prospective students must submit a resume or portfolio, sit for an interview, and must also audition if applying for the acting and musical theatre specializations. Stats are less important for TFT than talent and/or experience.</p>

<p>Good luck - but have a plan B.</p>

<p>It's competitive, so you should definitely have a backup plan in case you don't get in. Your GPA is certainly good enough, so it'll come down to whether you have a good resume/portfolio and can nail the interview.</p>

<p>I also want to transfer to UCLA's Theatre program! I want to be an actor and writer.</p>

<p>Currently, I'm a freshman at a state university (although I will soon be a sophomore, with the many classes I am taking). I will probably end up with a 3.9 GPA.</p>

<p>My current school has a terrible theatre program - actually, no real theatre program, and I know that I am talented enough to go to a better school.
The only reason I did not apply as a freshman is because of family issues (mainly, my family refused to pay tuition if I left the state, and I was under 18). </p>

<p>I am so ready for this.</p>
