At the EA audition in November, we were told that there is an evaluation during the sophomore year and if students are slacking, they will be cut. They said that "there are no surprises" and that it is not base solely on the evaluation performance, but on the attendance, attitude, effort etc. that has been shown throughout, and that if a student is cut there will have been previous conversations with the student, etc. I asked for the number that were cut last year and was not answered directly- something to the effect that several students tend to leave the program voluntarily because they change their career goals, or leave to accept work in the field- and that generally they end up with a class of about 16 upperclassmen (with around 22-25 originally accepted). They said that their ideal goal is for no one to be cut- for every student accepted to succeed- but that typically there are a few students that leave and a few that are not working hard enough.
