SU focuses strongly on dance, and the dance auditions are fairly difficult compared with many other schools. However, all 3 disciplines are important, and here is how the auditions are scored, as explained to me when my D auditioned some years ago: each student is given a #1, #2, or #3 in each area (acting, vocal, and dance), with #1 being the highest score. Students need a #1 or #2 in at least two of the three areas to be considered for admission. In other words, if you are not a strong dancer, your acting and singing must be very good.

As far as scholarships, they are available. My daughter received a generous financial offer based on her academics, and at least one of her classmates had a full scholarship – both for academic and for talent – covering his entire tuition.
