<p>Don’t think any of that is as important as the audition…. that is the critical piece that no one can really predict for you. Find monologue pieces that really speak to you and make sure you have at least one safety on your list that you would be happy attending. Good luck .</p>

<p>Your HS GPA is certainly in range for VCU, so it will not be an obstacle to your being admitted to VCU. </p>

<p>In terms of the program, the audition will be what is the deciding factor. This is the case with most auditioned programs. </p>

<p>VCU has a strong program and Richmond has an active theatre community in which many VCU students are involved. </p>

<p>I am sure you have found this information on the website… but for anyone else new to VCU:</p>
