Although I am still waiting to hear back from a few more schools, I am currently deciding between two of my acceptances: Viterbo Musical Theatre BFA and Northwestern BA Theatre. I have been trying to create a pros and cons list, but I would love to hear outside opinions in the hopes of finding new viewpoints to add to my list.
I truly love both programs. I love the small class size and individual attention that Viterbo has to offer, and I love the level of education that I would be able to receive from Northwestern. Honestly, what is holding me back from NU is the fact that I would have to audition for their highly competitive Musical Theatre Certificate program during my sophomore year. I have been so set on MT that this seems like a large risk to take; however, at the same time, their theatre department for straight acting is one of the best in the nation.
I know that this decision will ultimately come down to what I personally want for my future, but I would love to know what YOU personally would do if you were in this situation (all money aside for this hypothetical purpose).
Thanks!
