| Regarding Michigan on campus versus Unified auditions:
I visited about 3 weeks ago and had a meeting with Brent Wagner (the head of the department) while I was there. One of the things that we talked about (and that had been alluded to before that conversation) was their admission system. Auditioners are scored by the panel of faculty that see their audition in each of the three areas, these scores are tabulated, and decisions are made based on these scores. I auditioned at the Chicago Unifieds, Mr. Wagner was not there, and I was accepted - so it seems as though Michigan really doesn't give an advantage to on campus auditioners. |
