Best route to theater and acting?

for a 22 y/o New England male college student, introvert, non singer, that posesses zero experience to begin with. I have been interested in acting in theater and seeing how it goes. Growing up I played alot of sports and never even gave plays in school a thought. But lately I have been reading about William Esper and have become fascinated with acting/improv and writing. Just wondering what in my case would be the best route to pursue a career wether it be stage or commercial. I am aware in the top conservatories like Esper and Adler, as well A.R.T. in boston and A.C.T. in San Fran. The latter option as well as MFA programs like Tisch, Yale or Webster seem like a better option. Not to say I am short, ugly, or less than average looking but I cant help but notice many of the people who do a two year conservatory or a program like Acting Corp have "the look" that is marketable where as many of the less than genetically blessed actors that find success have had a strong theatre background as well as Julliard, Tisch, or Yale on their resumes. Im pretty ignorant on alot of it and am just hoping to be enlightened.
