My daughter just finished her sophomore year of high school and we took a week to visit some colleges in the Northeast. Got some gloomy percentages on acceptance rates at a couple of schools:
At Ithaca, they accept 16-18 per year for MT out of 1,200 to 1,300 applicants, or slightly over 1%
At Syracuse, they accept 23-25 per year for MT out of 800 to 900 applicants, or slightly under 3%
At NYU Tisch, I think it was around 75 accepted out of 3,200 or so applicants, or a little over 2%
If I remember correctly, both schools accept about the same number for just acting/drama, but definitely get fewer applicants. I don't recall the exact number at Ithaca, but I think Syracuse was 400-500 and Ithaca was like 800? Better percentages, but still not very high in comparison to the schools at large.
And, of course, being a girl, the percentages are lower still for my daughter. Other than NYU, I'm pretty sure my daughter won't have a problem getting into these schools academically, but even Drama/Acting is a stretch for performing arts.
