| At my son's audition, the admissions representative indicated that the audition WAS the definitive admission piece. Yes, they eventually look at all the other "paperwork," but ONLY to see that you will be able to make it in classes at CMU. He gave "percentage weights" for audition vs. academic components--and I remember them to be 90-some percent audition vs. the rest academics. He did note that even though they don't use the academic portion as a major consideration at all, it turns out that the drama/MT kids really don't look all that different from the rest of the kids on campus in terms of academic stats. |
