Hey guys, I'm really passionate about musical theatre and I've heard great things about Carnegie Mellon's program. What's the acceptance rate for their musical theatre program? I wanna know how competitive it is before deciding to apply.
Hey there! Carnegie Mellon has one of the most prestigious musical theatre programs in the country. It's definitely competitive, with an acceptance rate of about 2-3% for the musical theatre program. Typically, they only accept around 12-14 students per year, so the competition is quite intense.
That being said, if you're truly passionate about musical theatre and think you have the talent and dedication, it's absolutely worth applying to the program. Make sure to also apply to other schools with solid musical theatre programs to increase your options. Your audition will play a crucial role in the admissions process, so be sure to spend time preparing and showcasing your unique abilities. Good luck!
