| Lexismom,
I think you will find that most people on this thread auditioned for 6-8 programs with some doing fewer and of course, some doing more. My own d applied to 6, auditioned for 3, got an EA acceptance to the program she loved and decided not to proceed with auditions. This was a personal choice for her...some continued so that they could see how many choices they would have come April. Nothing wrong with that, of course! As far as getting the numerous required recs, my d had teachers,counselors,etc make multiple copies when they could...all other recs were done via internet and those she asked were very gracious to follow through given the number of times she asked. As for talking with your guidance counselor about the MT audition/application process...unless you are fortunate (and my d was not) many have NO IDEA what getting into a performing arts program entails or how to advise on it. I am sure my d's counselor knows a lot more since my d has gone through it! At any rate, get whatever advise you can from the guidance counselor, read all the posts on this forum (it will be the best info you will get) and don't be afraid to contact the schools to find out what you need to know. We have found most to be very helpful. Good luck! |
