<p>IMHopeful…I really agree with your post #52! It really is a choice for the consumer/student and each college can offer what they wish and whatever policies they wish and hopefully be very upfront about these and then hopefully all consumers do their homework to make an informed decision. </p>
<p>As far as talented students not auditioning at cut programs such as DePaul…my feeling is that such college programs do not have a dirth of appllicants (neither does CCM MT either). However, I do know many highly talented kids who opted not to apply to such programs due to the cut policy and so these programy DO lose some who won’t apply for this reason. That still leaves plenty applying! ;)</p>
