I have been accepted to SDSU, CSUF and CSULA & UC Davis for Theatre Major. I need advice on which one to pick! CSUF is ranked nationally for their program, but SDSU has a higher gpa average and a better campus. Please advise!
Congratulations on being accepted! In the end you’ll have to do what you feel is best but keep a few things in mind: What do you hope your next step after college is? A job, getting a masters, acting? If you are going on to a Master’s program your GPA may be somewhat relevant otherwise it will not be relevant at all. Select a school based on what opportunities it provides. I’m not saying don’t go to SDSU but don’t make a decision on a higher GPA average and a better campus. Those are luxuries not opportunities. Which has a better alumni association, job/grad school placement, best opportunities for you to get involved and shine (clubs, programs etc.)? Your success after graduation will be based off of your ability to gain relevant experience and make meaningful relationships during school not your GPA. You can call the Theatre departments and ask to speak to someone who can shed some light on the areas I mentioned above. Good luck! You’ll do great!
