Do you think alot of schools only go for people who are not overweight at all?? Or do you think that sometimes they get a good mix in there??

~just curious on everyone's thoughts

I think women are going to have a much tougher time than men. I see a lot of graduate acting photos from the "best" grad schools with one portly man but I don't think I've ever seen one with larger women (well above a size 10 or 12) But NYU admitted Camryn Manheim to it's program so you never know. I think it does count against you, but if you have "it" you may have a shot. Ha ha, kinda like life:)

Better overweight than undertalented.
