@connections - as both the Original Poster AND the one who later helped the thread take the confusing turn (sorry about that), the reason I later brought up colleges updating their almuni web pages was that I was trying to answer my original question by watching to see if the kids that I knew who were well cast in our D’s program graduated on to successful careers. It’s hard to tell if the staff had recognized their future working actors without being able to tell who went on to get what work. :)</p>
<p>And the reason I found the topic interesting in the first place was D overhearing a group of professors who had apparently taught several people who went on to very high levels of professional success saying that they usually failed to recognize which students would do so, at the very same time that some of D’s friends who had NOT been well cast in their BFA programs were graduating to considerable professional success. </p>
