UMich theatre, no prescreen

What should we make of UMich and no prescreen for Acting? They are still at Unifieds, does that mean that program is far less selective? Anyone know anything about this program?

It is somewhat less selective than the MT program, but still a very good program. I have heard that, in general, it is harder to judge acting than singing in a pre-taped pre-screen, so that might come into play as well.

It is my understanding that prescreens are less common I straight acting. Perhaps that is b/c the auditions themselves can be quicker- no songs- and no dance call- which is what really takes time!
