Juilliard School Of Drama?
While 16 is the youngest they accept students, they tend to take older students in the Drama department. The students that get in at age 16 tend to be Dance majors not Drama. Many drama students go to Juilliard several years after graduating high school as well as those who just graduated from high school. They do like a degree of maturity. Grades required are only a C average and no SAT or ACT scores. Keep in mind they only take 19 or less into the freshman class for Drama. As many of the applicants have professional training and world experience, you need to be working with a professional teacher to help prepare you.
How should I prepare myself to apply for drama school?
The first thing you need to do is start preparing monologues, somewhere between 45 and 90 seconds. You should have at least one from a classic play (Shakespeare, ancient Greek dramas), and one from the contemporary canon (the last 30 years or so). Read the plays your monologues come from, get memorized and understand the character. If you want to go into a musical theater program, you will also need cuts of either 32 or 16 bars of various songs, in the styles of different eras and composers, and you will need to practice with an accompanist.Second thing: audition everywhere you can, and build up your résumé. Drama schools will need to see that you are committed and have at least some experience performing onstage.Third thing: Look at other programs too. Drama schools and BFA programs are highly specialized and concentrated, and while that is amazing, that also means they’re really selective, and a regular BA program at a liberal arts school can still give you an excellent experience and background for working in theater while also preparing you for the survival jobs that you will most likely have to take in between auditions and productions. Summer programs can be really intense but also really rewarding. For instance, I spent the summer before my junior year of college doing an apprenticeship with the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company in Boston, which earned me points towards my Equity membership, a look into professional theater work environments, classes in how to properly perform Shakespeare, and an overall wonderful experience.Fourth thing: remain resilient. There is a chance that you will get rejected from every drama school you audition for, and this won’t be because you’re untalented, it will be because you are trying to dive into a small pond at the same time as a lot of other fishes. Not everyone can get cast for the same part, but you have to stay the course and believe you’ll have your shot.
How to get into Yale drama school?
I am a freshman in college, majoring in acting/theater, and I've been looking a lot into Yale's MFA program. Yes, I am aware that it is VERY competitive, but I'm sure it's still reachable. It's not like they audition people and they don't accept anyone. What REALLY gets you into Yale drama school? There is just so much talent one can have. And there is tons of people, probably with the same amount of talent, but some just don't make the cut. How do you make the cut?? any tips? I want to prepare these next 3 years or so, because I would LOVE to be accepted into Yale's drama school. Thank you very much!

How do drama schools accept their students?
The answer depends on the school.Most schools have an application process specific to them. All an applicant can do is write a strong letter of introduction, get some good references, chose some strong pieces (according to their audition requirements) and most importantly, put in the time so that you have a great audition.Most schools will have an audition panel of teachers and maybe some members of the professional community. They may have a scoring system in place and may score you on several things.There would likely be an interview component as well. You really want to be yourself. This doesn't mean wing it. You should consider why your want to be in this particular school, why now, what do you want to work on (weaknesses), what kind of acting or theatre do your like, what was the last play you read or saw. Think of some questions you may want to ask. Be confident but humble. A know it all may be difficult to teach or change. Some schools are just looking for strong performers. Some are looking for people who are interested in theatre as a whole that may become a part of their preformance steam.Many schools consider age and may only take a younger group. Someone in their mid to late twenties may not be the norm.The school may have a season of plays to cast and are not only looking to accept the most talented applicants but also to consider how they fit into their season.
Can I get a HND then audition for drama school?
I agree with Rebecca, start on a smaller scale if you don’t have the confidence. I, too, don’t know how it works in the UK, but I do know when my son applied to a high school here, he had to pass an audition. You asking the question, shows you aren’t ready for any kind of drama school. Start with acting in a local community theatre, and / or student films.Cliff

How to prepare myself for uni/drama auditions: RADA?
(seemingly long post ahead!) + (it'd be helpful if RADA alumni could help?) ------------------------------------- I am so conflicted... Currently I'm doing my GCSEs and am just a few months away from having my final exams (scared to death) and have started my application form for sixth form. However, I picked two subjects that coincide (that being Fine Art and Theatre Studies) and I had to talk to one of my teachers about it and she basically told me that I can't pick them unless I talk to the deputy head who schedules our classes. ALSO, she was telling me that I shouldn't pick the two unless it's something I wish to do in university. NOW here's the other side. I am from an Asian family and my father doesn't really understand much about what I want to do. I understand he only wants the best for me seeing that we're not exactly 'well-off' he wants me to get a good job. Howbeit, I'm terrified to tell him that I would like to be an actress in both or either television or film. It's a hard road but I feel like I could tackle it but due to being raised in such an environment I feel like doubt overshadows this passion = confusion to what my passion is. I'm thinking about attending a theatre summer school with a close friend of mine but I'm feeling so frazzled by everything my brain hurts. Initially, I would like to study at RADA, Guildhall, Guildford and etc... it's a hard and long process I KNOW for sure but... I think I'm willing to continue trying seeing as some got in after their 5th try... It's all gone for far too long now hasn't it? I guess my main questions are: * Were your parents supportive of this career choice? * I was told by my friend that there are certain plays that the RADA officials do not want to hear (?) is this true? * How long did it get for you to get into RADA? (unless you didn't go there) * What should I be doing to prepare myself for RADA auditions that are in 3-4 years time? * TELL ME I'LL BE OKAY??? ;_;
