Most audition-centric acting MFAs (like Guildhall in UK)?

[dizo]

Hi,

 

I just recently got an email from Guildhall Music & Drama: 

 

"...our Acting degree programme is based entirely on audition.  We are interested in you as a person, not in your previous education, opportunities or experience you might or might not have had relating to acting and drama in general.  We are looking for what motivates you to want to undertake this particular kind of training and for your passion and curiosity for the craft and the world around you in general which cannot be measured by the particular experience an applicant has already had, or not.  There are no particular previous qualifications levels or subject area requirements in order to apply.  Everyone who submits an application receives a first round audition (of three).  Everyone starts our audition process equal. "

 

Are there any US schools that share this attitude? Preferably that are also well regarded and/or offer funding?

 

Thanks!
