Well, Nate, that is the thanks I get for helping you on the Syracuse and Emerson threads, I suppose. My advice still stands. Come to this site for all sorts of help and that is what it is here for. There are lots of people, inluding myself, very willing to help, as you can see, I hope. It is even free advice. But I was saying that certain types of information are better to get from the source because sometimes that information is so important that you would not want to rely on a message board for being correct. In fact, some of these schools change their policy year to year. In fact, when my D applied to Emerson, it was NOT set up as it is now where you have to send an application in first, if I recall. Things change. So, for stuff like this or for audition requirements and the like, you should obtain that from the direct source. CC is better for getting subjective information and sharing of experiences and such (ie., what is Emerson's audition like?)

You say you have the hardcopy materials. If you do, it is readiy apparent on Emerson's application materials the procedure for lining up an audition. Same with Syracuse. Neither mention being accepted in order to audition.

As well, I still think this kind of question, while OK to ask HERE, should ALSO be asked directly to the college to be certain of something this important. I wasn't saying to not ask here but to make sure you check directly with the school as you could get a wrong answer here or the policies do change year to year. For example, if you asked if BOCO has a dance audition, they didn't in my D's year but they do now. Always check with the source for this type of thing. That is still my advice to ANY applicant, not just you, Nate.

So, I gave you the information for Emerson and I answered your same question on the Syracuse forum. I took the time to help you. Your welcome.
