Could some people voice their opinions on this?
  
As in, what has a better reputation now for MT, GSA or Mountview?
  
Thank you:).

My opinions probably aren't worth very much, having only observed from afar with an aching jealousy of anyone who attends both these institutions, but they both seem to be excellent, having a pretty high employment rate in West End musicals, judging by the performers bios. I think... Mountview might be more dance-based and GSA may be more voice-based, but there's a high, HIGH probability I'm just making that up. I don't suppose there's very much in the difference between the two quality-wise, they both look mighty fine to me.

There is not much to chose betwee them, but in by humble opinion, Arts Ed is numero uno and is getting superb results.

Is that true?

Yes it is generally recognised as being true, but in three years time when you start to audition you want to be a triple threat ( there are plenty around) so you will need to be good at everything.

Don't choose a course that is strong where you are strong.  

You will need to be challenged, so choose a course that will stretch you, and strengthen your weaknesses,
so that in three year's time you will be a good all rounder.

RedMomma, why do you speak so highly of ArtsEd?

I think you only have to look at cast lists in the West End and tours to see the degree of success they are having with graduates.

I know a lot of people who have been through the course, including my own family and have a long association with this course, although I have worked at other schools.

They have a long tradition in MT and ex students include people like Glen Carter, Sally Ann Triplett, Josefina Gabrielle whilst more recent graduates like Oliver Tompsett, Tasha Sheridan  and Scott Monello are beginning to make names for themselves

One of the questions to ask at audition is how many of the graduates get agents on leaving, as getting representation can be quite important as the entry to those private auditions.

Just a bit biased, but they seem to be getting it right.

Also, what about CSSD for MT?
