| While my post may be offensive to you, it is nonetheless true. When a supposed "top" program accepts someone and a supposed "lesser"program does not, either the person did not audition well at the lesser school, or he/she did not fit what they needed. Everyone says that schools look to fill their need for the next 4 yours--the brassy belter, the ingenue, and yes, a class picture that shows some diversity. If the class picture showed no diversity, the school would receive numerous complaints (perhaps rightly so). It is a fact of life in 2008 and you cannot control it just like you cannot control if you fit the needs of a particular school at a particular time. |
