<p>Hello! I am starting to think about college now, and I know I want to major in MT. I have researched the schools I am interested in, and I have been reading the forums on my free time! I was wondering if you could help me by explaining the audition process and what people are talking about when they say some certain things. (I am actually really confused on what Katlin Hopkins is I AM SORRY I AM NEW HERE) And if you have any advice for me, I would appreciate it. Thanks!</p>
