<p>I know this might be asked alot but I'v been extremely anxious,</p>
<p>I'm about to be a senior in high school and with my Junior year grades closing I'v had to come to terms with the fact that I'll probably have something around a 2.7 Unweighted GPA and 3.2 Weighted GPA on the transcript I'll be sending in to colleges. </p>
<p>However, I have a 1950 on my SAT's, I'v taken a rigorous course load my entire highschool career and have been extremely involved with so many things. I'm the president of my school's drama club, president of my school's improv troup, on the board of youth directors for my community theatre and have won countless theatrical accolades. </p>
<p>Do I have a chance with any of the theatre school below?--Thank you so much, i'm just very, very stressed about everything right now!</p>
<p>(I plan on doing the BFA Acting track with all the schools below)
Rutgers
SUNY Purchase
NYU Tisch
Marymount Manhattan
Emerson College
Central Connecticut State University
Carnegie Melon
Juilliard</p>
<p>Don’t know anything about Central Conn–is it your safety? Remember that ALL audition programs are very competitive so BA’s or non-audition BFA’s are important regardless of your talented you are or how high your GPA is. :)</p>
<p>I agree with what folks are saying, if your goal is a BFA program, start working on your audition NOW. Get the audition requirements from each school you are interested in, find appropriate monologues, and start work on them. And you will probably, almost certainly, need someone to help you with your monologues.</p>
<p>Tisch and Emerson are definitely an academic reach for you. My son had similar academic credentials (although he knocked his CR SAT score out of the park in the fall of his senior year). He did not end up applying to Tisch, for a variety of reasons, but he was rejected from Emerson, BU, and Fordham (the more academically-selective auditioned programs). I would recommend adding a few slightly less-selective BFA programs to the list, such as UArts, Cornish, Hartt, SCAD, et al. Consider DePaul (extremely selective, but you qualify academically) and Columbia College Chicago (no audition for freshman admission, and they have an extremely high acceptance rate). If you are interested in Musical Theatre, also consider CCPA/Roosevelt. We were not terribly impressed by their Acting program, however; it is much stronger for music.</p>
