I've copied below part of a post from DrJohn on the Otterbein site that reiterates the reality of the space issues of these programs and the fact that they do indeed have to reject many very talented kids as well as the fact that they "miss" seeing some of the talent that is there. My D was rejected from a school in November that everyone saw as a safety school for her. There is just no making sense of this crazy audition process or the "why's" of a students acceptance or rejection.

I DO know that all these young people are courageous, determined, creative and wonderful, and they will all thrive and grow in their lives wherever they end up!

I don't know how to block it in, but below is a small part of one of Dr. JOhn's great posts!.....

"Most students unfortunately will be told that we don't have a place for them. Does this mean that they don't have the talent to pursue theatre? Absolutely not. It just means that we didn't have room--or that we missed seeing the talent that was there, as we obviously did with UAmom's daughter. UAMom, please congratulate your d. on her callback to the Guthrie. It's one of the best BFA Acting programs in the country."
