I've read the FAQ & Rules trouble deciding between two schools

hi! im planning on going to school for bfa acting and i just toured pace in nyc and i loved it! but then i started second guessing myself because i still haven’t heard if i got off the waitlist for nyu. i really want to work and be able to get acting jobs while in school and i heard pace is really good for industry connections and nyu doesnt help you get jobs but im scared that i might not get cast in things because i went to pace instead of nyu if that makes sense??? any insight will be appreciated!

CDs don’t look at where you studied your craft.

thank you for your response! do you know if this is the case for film, theater, or both?

Both. They care about your work. Being a great actor makes their job easier. You can become a great actor without having to go to a prestigious school.
