hey mboyd!
There were a fair amount of guys at my audition this year. I've been told many different figures from different people regarding the actual percentage. They accept equal numbers for guys and girls. The numbers I was given AT my audition were that they were looking for 20 boys & 20 girls and they had the largest auditioning class yet of about 1,000 students.
At my audtion ALONE I knew of eight people who didn't show.. so I can only assume those numbers reduced as the audition process furthered. I think they said like 75% of the people auditioned were girls. But then again.. that was a figure I received at my audition.. and I've heard many different things from many different people.
As far as figures go.. don't stress too much about that! If you're meant to go there you will.
Just spend your time working on your audition material and perfecting it rather than worrying about your competition. Competition is inevitable. So stop worrying!
haha and yes we heard back on Friday!! The decision was posted on your online application
Good luck to you in the coming years!! See you there!
