How hard is it to get into Julliard?

Answer 1

Pretty darn hard.

Answer 2

From what I have been told by actors that I know that went there the process includes an audition with a prepared monologue, and a cold reading with a partner, then an interview. This is on top of the normal collage application process. The end result is something that looks like a casting session where the facility decide who has the best potential, and who they believe will make it through the program. They are a top level program as as such have very hard competition to a limited amount of seats in the program. No That said there are a couple of very good BFA programs around the country that are on par or better then the Julliard program. NCSA or North Carolina School of the Arts, and The Theatre School at DePaul University. Now I am biased because I went to The Theatre School, but all three programs are very good, and will help a lot in your future.

Now come the disclaimer on all of this. A BFA program is very hard, do not think otherwise just because you do not take much math etc. When I was in school I was working on my degree for about 50 hrs a week on avg. What waits is long days in class then a long day in the theatre or rehearsal halls. And this will only help get you work, it is not a promise of a living in the world of acting. Most of the friends from collage are not acting not because they do not want to but because it is very hard to get work. If you do go after this life good luck, and remember that you are doing this because you love the job, not the fame of the money, they are in short supply.

Answer 3

Yes, but at the same time it's not the best best place for training. It's a conservatory that is very competitive and most students get full-scholarships, but the pressure is incredible.

There are other conservatories that offer the same teaching.

Answer 4

The hardest part is turning the knob on the front door. It's very tricky. Other than that, you basically just have to wade past the crowd on the sidewalk and sometimes deal with an impatient security guard.

Answer 5

Most conservatories nowadays don't care as much about talent as they do about money. Basically if you know your stuff and are region or all state level in whatever you play or voice part you sing, you can get in, but they don't offer financial aid or scholarships so you're completely on your own. Not hard to get accepted, but hard to attend, unless you're rich.

Answer 6

Extremely hard--however, good luck if you try.

Answer 7

Very...
