The audition process yesterday was about as flawless and low stess as anyone could imagine. They do group interviews with the kids--so smart, because it helps them relax and meet a couple of other auditioning kids. Numbers wise: they said they were auditioning 182 kids yesterday; it looked evenly divided between undergraduates and graduate students. Not intimidating. And when we went for the audition itself, it didn't feel overwhelming--no long lines of hopefuls waiting their turns; just a couple of overlaps. The Middle Eastern restaurant around the corner was great. Every time we go to Eastman, we are reminded of what a friendly place it is, and impressed with the level of the program.
