<p>We’re actually in Cincinnati now, waiting for a tour of University of Cincinnati today before we see the conservatory tomorrow. On Friday we will spend the morning at Northwestern and the afternoon at DePaul. DS is wondering if we should cancel the appointment at DePaul, since he knows he will not be auditioning for them. </p>
<p>Is there anything to be learned from an info session and tour of their facilities if a student is definitely not even going to apply? At every school we have learned a little bit more about the process, and how individual each school is with respect to their program structure. Would any of that knowledge about DePaul be helpful in comparing other programs (to each other, not DePaul), or just for general background? </p>
<p>Sorry to be so vague, but I don’t know what it is that he might pick up at DePaul that would be useful. He says he will not apply there, period, because of the draconian cuts, and I fully support that decision. Would it be a COMPLETE waste of time to go anyway?</p>
