Cartera, I'm glad that at least one person knows what I'm talking about. I'm just trying to be helpful here.

Jazz, your son did the smart thing by taking lessons with the teacher. I cannot believe go apply to a school where they want to spend 4 years of their lives and don't even meet the teacher!

About numbering. You make your rankings, then the teachers rank you. The numbers get matched up. Just keep in mind, the math works out that the most in demand teachers are going to the the 1-1 matches first, it just makes sense. That, and some of the guys who have been there longer have a lot of control over the performance portion of the admissions process and can pull a lot of strings.

In my opinion, as long as your son took lessons with the teachers he wants and plays very well, then his chances are good. However, if you're looking to study with a world famous, star factory teacher, then there are some things you're going to have to deal with if your playing isn't absolutely world class.
