| Actrss100...yes, that is how PSU's college audition process works. You audition and if you are not asked to stay for the callback, then you know on the spot you won't be admitted. If you are called back, you still may not be admitted but you are still in the "running" so to speak, at that juncture. I recall my daughter getting the letter of acceptance within a week following the audition day. I don't recall how many auditioned on her day last year (there were a LOT that day) and I don't recall the exact number called back that day (among those auditioning on that day) but it was about a dozen. However, not every kid called back got admitted because the program takes about 16 kids and there were many on campus audition days, plus various Unified Auditions. So, if a dozen or so were called back the day my kid went, you know they did not all get in. If you are called back, that is an indication that you are being considered. Few schools do it this way and you just wait. But at PSU, if you are not called back that day, you already know your admissions decision. It makes that day a little "rougher" in a way, but the positive side is knowing sooner, I guess. Actually, when my D attends an audition in the theater world (not college auditions), it is done this way....(think A Chorus Line), and they tell you right there if you have a callback or are asked to stay for the next round, etc. |
