Performing arts education is offered at hundreds of institutions throughout the United
States, not just the handful of well-known ones that are being inundated with applications.

Professional casting directors recommend that students look for programs that are right for them, and once they arrive on the professional scene, their dedicated training and preparation will shine through, regardless of what school they attended.

According to top performing arts colleges, like Julliard, unless you portray that you are prepared and stand out in your audition performance, regardless of your stellar academics record, you won’t be admitted.

According to the College Press, “Pre-college summer programs allow high school students to get a taste of college life, preview their dream schools, and give a boost to their college applications.”
