What are some less selective or open admission performing arts colleges/universities in the tri-state area?

answers1: In any performing arts college program you have to pick one
major. As you have no training in dance, you should cross that off
your list right away as any BFA program will require an audition in
both ballet and modern dance. There are dancers trained at the School
of American Ballet who don't make it into Tisch. You also cannot
transfer unless you start again as a freshman as they would only
accept core academics and none of your PA training elsewhere. <br>
The truth is, PA college programs are where you go to hone your craft
and they don't take students with no background or training to learn
as a beginner. <br>
What I suggest is to take some acting classes and perhaps singing
lessons now and see if you have any abilities along those lines.
Dance takes years and years of intense training to get at a level that
would be desired for admittance. If you are a natural in acting, then
perhaps you would have a shot if you auditioned. However, you need to
start somewhere. Have you had any experience in high school
productions? Try to get as much experience in acting as possible and
then you can audition and see how it goes. There is no point going to
a less selective program as they have nothing to offer and just take
your money. Again PA credits don't transfer from one school to
another. Only your core course like English, Math, Science etc.
answers2: Since there is no such breed as a 'cavapoo' you won't find
anyone that is knowledgeable and responsible producing them. You will
only find some ignorant mutt breeder producing poorly bred mutts out
of poorly bred dogs to try to sell to people stupid enough to think
they are ANYTHING but a mutt like the MILLIONS that die in shelters
every year. Why not just go the the pound and adopt a mutt instead of
supporting some ignorant puppy miller making mutts to sell to equally
as ignorant people that would PAY for them! BTW, if your grandmother
knew anything about responsible breeding, then she would know that
only an irresponsible and ignorant greeder would purposefully make
puppies and that no one with good bloodlines and knew what they were
doing would take a good quality dog and make mutts with it... but then
that might be more along the lines of the knowledge level of your
grammy anyway :)
answers3: I know very well what colleges in the Tri-State area
(surrounding NYC) have music and allied arts programs - but you
certainly do NOT want to seek out one that *takes anybody*. Think of
how horrible the instruction is there! Without a very solid
background, built up over many years of intense study, you can really
abandon hopes of getting into the very competitive NYC schools - there
will be hundreds and thousands of applicant FAR more qualified than
you. You could not possibly gain everything you needed in 2 years -
even at an open-admission local 2-year college, like Dutchess or
Ulster - and than transfer into a top performing college. Yes, some
of the music departments at the community colleges have agreements
with SOME of the 4-year SUNY schools, like Potsdam, Fredonia, etc.,
that allow you to transfer after successful completion of 2 years at
the community college - you could look at those (geared primarily to
Music Ed). But the total education you receive between the community
college and the SUNY school will not prepare you competitively for a
professional- level performing - I am guessing that you are thinking
about Broadway. Nor will they prepare you for eventual graduate-level
transfer to NYU, etc. <br>
<br>
Without a strong education in MS and HS in the arts, you will just not
get into a decent undergrad college - except for open-admission
community colleges - and therefore, your path is what it is. If you
are still VERY young - a HS sophomore or less - then perhaps you can
begin serious study NOW and develop enough skills that can get you
through a successful audition to a good school. Otherwise - consider
education for another career. Good luck - right now you have a
fantasy, but with hard work and lots of planning, it is possible to
turn it into a dream.
