<p>We will never know the true reason why some of the programs which CC considers to be lesser schools reject some of those applicants who some may consider to be the best candidates. However, I would like to suggest that there is an other factor, a subliminal one. When you have an applicant walking into an audition thinking they are the best now auditioning for a school which he/she assumes to be a lesser, there adds the Diva factor and the attitude that that candidate is better than the school. The college auditors are pretty much experts on what kind of attitudes they want in their programs and teachability and teamwork is an intangible that they are looking for. So, when you talk about fit, it really does go both ways. When the applicant walks on the campus and gets a feeling that he/she does fit vs he/she really just doesn’t want to go that program but is auditioning for a safety, it is really hard for a 17/18 yr old to hide those kinds of feelings and emotions. May I actually end with an additional sigh.</p>
