<p>If you have to apply by the ED date are you bound to it?</p>
<p>^ you are not obligated to attend if accepted. They use the ED date, but they also explain in a few places this is not Early Decision- it is simply because they need to schedule auditions/portfolio reviews, and the time-consuming nature of this and the goal to have the class in place by a certain date, necessitates using an earlier deadline than the regular one. It is NOT early decision though- you can decide once you have all of your decisions. At least, that’s how it’s always been in the past. There should be some fine print next to the deadline that explains that for theatre applicants, this date does not mean ED</p>
<p>In addition, you won’t learn the results of your audition until sometime in March.</p>
