<p>Assuming you do well on your tests, you are definitely in Academically, but don't theater and acting majors often have to submit a sample and/or tryout?</p>

<p>You certainly have the grades. Emerson's performance arts programs are, from what I've heard, very much talent based, Ithaca too. (I'm applying at both, but not for PA. They're amazing.)</p>

<p>If you're applying for the program: be a good actor(ress?) and you'll be fine!
If you're applying for the school and you're not an awesome actor(ress?) then look for a non-performance major for your second choice, because you're in for most other things.</p>

<p>Have you visited Emerson?</p>

<p>Thanks Guys!
1) Actress (even though technically Actor is used for both genders). i'm a girl :)
2) I'm actually visiting both schools the weekend of November 7th! Yay!
3) I'm a pretty good actress, I'd say. And I'm meeting with an admissions director during my visits at both schools to see what exactly is needed for the audition for Acting :)</p>

<p>Any other comments would be greatly appreciated <3</p>

<p>Hah, I'm actually going to Ithaca that weekend,too. Emerson is AMAZING. I think the second you see their theater you're going to be like "whoa."</p>
