Right on Emerson's website it states:

When you apply for admission to the BFA in Musical Theatre, you must audition and submit a résumé of theatre-related activities to the Department of Performing Arts. After completing your application for admission, you will receive an Emerson ID and PIN (Personal Identification Number) which are necessary to submit your résumé online and book an audition appointment.

Thus, you do not get accepted academically in order to audition, but you must submit an application in order to secure an audition appointment.
The procedures for every school usually can be found RIGHT on the website, as well as on the application materials.
Schools change the procedures all the time. While I am not home to check on my D's Emerson folder from 2004-2005, I know it did not work the way it does now at that school. My recollection is that one only had to send in a PART ONE or very preliminary part of the application in order to secure an audition and could send the rest of the application afterwards, but by the deadline. As I have had clients apply to Emerson last year, I recall they had to send in the application in order to secure an application appointment. I do not recall what I just read on the site as far as having to submit a resume online. That MAY be new, I am not entirely positive. I'm not home to check last years' clients' folders.
So, again, you must research directly on the school's website, on the hardcopy application (or download it), or call if unsure, but make sure to get the up to date DIRECT information. Many of us have provided you with the information. But if it were me, I would not want to rely on what people said on a website about such important procedures because as you can see, the procedure at Emerson has changed in the last couple of years.
You may wish to realize that even if you researched your butt off as you say, the information was RIGHT there on Emerson's site and same with Syracuse. However, aren't you lucky that people here have helped to give you the information you seek and to show you where you can find out more. We have been around the block....either having kids who have applied/auditioned, and/or in my case, I advise many students going through this process (for a fee). If you want more help here, for FREE, from those who volunteer our time, we are all happy to help but as a young person asking adults for help, please learn to be appreciative. We helped you with the answers to your questions on various threads, even though the information you were seeking was right on the colleges' websites. What CC is best for is help with stuff that can't be found directly on a college's website. When students come here asking the audition requirements or procedures which all can be found by reading the colleges' sites, they are going to get less patience than students who are asking things that are not easily found by doing their research at the colleges' sites. So, do your research for the basic information and come here for what is not on the sites. And remember, for the very critical information, do not rely on a message board because it could be wrong or not current.
PS...in my earlier post, I had written, "Your welcome," and I meant to write, "You're welcome."
