<p>What's the, shall I say trick for getting into Yale to study theatre? I heard that the Yale graduate school for drama is top-notch, whereas the undergraduate program is fairly new and very comme-ci, comme-ca. Is this true? And does it make it easier to get in versus a school like NYU or Julliard? Is it even worth applying for or should I just wait until I am eligible to attend graduate school.</p>
<p>Why would you go to Yale for drama?</p>
<p>Because its a great school! I would be able to focus on both my academics and my art. Plus the school has turned out some of Hollywoods top actors - Meryl Streep, Sanaa Lathan, Paul Newman and so much more! Why wouldn’t I?</p>
<p>Undergrads interested in the Theatre major must audition the Sophomore year. For now, you must be admitted into yale college and all the rigors that entails. I don’t know the admit stats to NYU or Julliard theater undergrad but Yale college is … well, very low.</p>
<p>Yale and New Haven are simply fabulous for theater. Yale college theater majors receive a lot just by their proximity to the many draws into New Haven.</p>
<p>Thank you T26E4!</p>
<p>BTW: lots of people end up in theater/acting even without the Theater studies major. The most famous actor from my graduating year wasn’t a theater major, Paul Giamatti.</p>
