| While that is true about other schools, there are a bunch of schools that require an application to be filed first, to obtain audition appointment (NYU is not one of these) and in those cases, you can have a "'wish list" planned out of optimum audition dates for yourself but it can often be close to Nov. 1 or later when you get confirmation of your audition date because you have to do an application, have it reviewed, or in some cases, merely filed, to get an audition and I don't know too many who can have all that happen by Nov. 1 anyway for all of their schools. So, the best thing to do is to lay out your audition choices on a calendar with a first and second choice per school and have some "if this, than that" in mind depending how things flesh out with each school. For us, since my D wanted to do the optional Tisch dance audition for experienced dancers (NO longer offered), there were only two dates that was offered and so knew she'd be going one of those two and that was a little easier. However, I have worked with lots of kids going through this and as long as you are on top of application due dates, audition appointment procedures, etc., you can fit it together like a puzzle. It does work out. Nov. 1 is still over three months ahead of the auditions. It is just that the CCers are SO on top of things that it sounds "late", LOL! |
