As I have said before, the best advice I have gotten from people on this board is to get a professional opinion of your child's talent in a national pool. We started thinking about this when S was a sophomore, and had no way of assessing his ability level; he was a big fish in a small pond, so what did that tell us?
As a result of practice lessons, camps and pre-college music experiences, we have gone into the audition process feeling that at least he is well in the running. He passed all of his prescreenings, and has completed three of seven auditions.
While politics and the vagaries of the whole process can affect the outcome, and it is still nerve wracking, at least knowing that you or your child is at the appropriate level is a good thing.
