Seashells also wrote in her "conclusion" the same point....so, as I said, we agreed, and these are not contrary opinions as Wally implies:

So, I'm not saying to totally disregard the essay or other application requirements because I think that if you put too little effort into your essay or don't take the time to seek out people who can provide you with excellent letters of recommendation, it could possibly hurt your chances of getting accepted. I believe that the admissions committe would be able to tell if you whipped off an essay in 15 minutes and might interpret that as not really caring enough about the whole application proess.

To wrap it up, in my opinion the audition is THE deciding factor in the top MT and theater programs but the other items could perhaps be the determining factors between two equally talented candidates.
