You are creative and unique. You want to shout from the rooftops who you are and what you believe. You want to express yourself.

We’re here to listen, closely. 

We want to know about you: the real you. Not just the tests you took or the grades you got. Tell us a story—the story of YOU.

Zero in on a moment in your life that shows how you’ve changed or lets you reflect. Tell us what excites you, what you’ve thought deeply about, what you strive for. Most of all, focus on YOU—how you felt, what you experienced, why you were transformed. It’s you we’re interested in. It’s your story we’re excited to hear.

At MMC, you are not a set of academic credentials. You are a whole person, and you deserve to be seen and known.


Our goal is to ensure access and equity in our admission process by eliminating obstacles you may face when completing the application process. To this end, MMC is test-optional for Fall 2023 domestic applicants and will no longer require an application fee.

Note, this policy does not affect academic scholarship offerings. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Admission.

You’ll find Griffins everywhere—including the most magical place on earth! ➡️ Dance alum Lacey Greathouse ’23 has been cleared for launch in Orlando, Florida, where she’s doing the Disney College Program and working at the attraction Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. ➡️ BFA Musical Theatre alum Jake Gladwin ’23 has been seen soaring high with his pal Peter Pan at Walt Disney World. With a happy thought, faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie dust, we can all fly with Peter too! ➡️ Theatre Arts alum Maura Holloran ’13 is a Walt Disney World guest experience manager for entertainment. She recently received the Legacy Award, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products’ highest honor, which recognizes exceptional individuals who consistently strive to make guests’ dreams come true by enhancing the Disney experience and creating innovative ways to deliver Disney magic and inspire others.

➡️ Add this to your calendar: Allergic to Being Alive, a hilarious one-woman comedy cabaret premiering this Sunday at Caveat. (Check the link in our bio for ticket info!) It explores the ups and downs of living with chronic illness based on writer and star Katie Hutch’s real—and lifelong—health struggles. “I joke that my list of diagnoses is longer than a CVS receipt,” she said. The show has ties to the MMC community, too. Katie was an MMC Theatre major before health issues sidelined her a year before graduating. And the show’s team includes MMC freshman and BFA Acting major Gigi LeClair. The two met while working on a production of Island Song by the Rooftop Musical Society, where Gigi was a PA and Katie was part of the cast. “I noticed Gigi’s initiative and her focus. She was just so on top of everything that I told her about my one-woman show and asked her if she wanted to work on it,” Katie said.  Gigi handles social media and marketing, with free reign to tackle whatever else interests her. Last week, during rehearsals, she offered notes while Katie workshopped some of her character voices. “I’ve always been interested in the whole process that goes into staging a production,” Gigi said. So, why should you check out the play? According to Gigi, the idea that others may be facing the same crises as you and that it’s possible to laugh even while you cry hits home. “The show is so relatable,” she said. “I think MMC students will love it.” 💙 #MMCPROUD #GoGriffins

We’re still celebrating Griffins who walked in–and owned–NY Fashion Week. That includes Evie Nista ’27 (pics 1-2), a Marketing major minoring in Communications and Fashion Studies. She walked for Coach, marking her second season at Fashion Week with the brand after walking in its February 2023 show. Molly Quinn Hefner ’24 (3-4) walked for Melis By Sahar Al Aufi during Runway 7’s September 7 showcase. Molly, a double major in Dance and Media and Arts Management, has walked in Fashion Week since 2022. #MMCProud #GoGriffins

New York Fashion Week just ended, but we’ll be celebrating Griffins who graced the catwalk this year for a very long time! 📸 1-3: Musical Theatre major London Riley ’24 walked in Buckethead Productions’ NYFW show at the Brooklyn Museum on Sept. 7. Buckethead, a handmade crochet line created by designer Jake Leone, scouted her on Instagram, setting the stage for her runway debut. “I’ve been doing plus-size modeling since I was 15,” London said. “I had my first big brand deal, with Forever 21, when I was 17. But runway modeling was new for me and totally over my head! I was constantly asking Jake, ‘Is this too much? Should I put my arms up? And they literally were like, ‘Please just enjoy it. You’re gonna do great.’” Her Musical Theatre training was a big help, too.  “Modeling brings a different kind of nervousness than being in musicals or plays,” she said. “But it’s still a performance, and the skills carry over. I was able to be a lot freer and fun on the stage because of my theatre experience.” 📸 4-7: Dance and Journalism major Harley Fleschner ’27 had modeled for dance photographers for years. But when she was 14, her mom posted a picture from one of the shoots that caught the eye of Florida-based designer Kallee Jackson. “Kallee saw it and cast me in her runway show, and I’ve been modeling for her ever since,” Harley said. “She’s been an amazing mentor for me.” Harley walked in Kallee’s New York Fashion Week show in February, will be traveling with her to London Fashion Week 2024, and has become the face of Kallee’s fashion house Maison De Kallee Jackson. Harley’s also modeled for the designer Sabre Mochachino. “Modeling has taught me so much about using my angles, presenting myself, and being able to express what the clothing makes me feel,” she said. “It’s another beautiful art form that I am blessed to be able to integrate into my life. I am deeply grateful.” #MMCProud! Griffins: If you walked in Fashion Week, too, DM us your pics!
