| You can absolutely send letters of recommendation. I don't really know how much weight they carry, but a lot of people include them. Yes, people who audition early hear early. In December they send out a lot of "No" letters, a lot of "maybes" and very few "Yes" letters. I think maybe 4 this year... I really don't remember. There isn't necessarily a preference to early or late auditions. The February auditions usually have 40 + auditions... so they get to be late... but besides that it's all the same.
Yes, there is quite a bit of academic scholarship. And McMichael, our science building is pretty fantastic... I try to avoid going inside as much as possible... but its a great building. And yes, one of 5 schools in the country that teach anatomy on human cadavers (my freshman year roommate did it!) |
