| This is interesting. At auditions this AM, the issue about the deposit and accepting offers at PPU came up. Families were "warned" that the conservatory programs often filled up by April 1st and housing filled by early May. While they recognized that many students would be auditioning at many places, they said that if you get an offer of admission to PPU but the program fills before you commit, you will be put on a waitlist. Similarly, you may not get housing unless you complete the housing forms early--and you can't do that until you send in your deposit. This sounds like they will NOT necessarily hold your spot until May 1st without a deposit. Further, they encouraged everyone to ask questions about this at all the schools they were applying to, suggesting that other schools will fill their slots early. The talk among parents was that they'd send in the money to hold a spot and then ask for a refund if their child decides to go elsewhere.
This seems as though it should be simple, but it's not. |
