<p>huburt, I am so sorry for your situation, and I completely understand because the exact same thing happened to me. I ended up canceling my hotel and flight reservations (no fees involved thankfully), and now I have planned two smaller trips to audition for my top 3 schools. I know it may be hard to take – it took me like 3 weeks to finally move on about the whole Unifieds thing – but it really ended up being better for me to not go to Unifieds and instead focus in on the schools I like the most. Maybe this is possible for you? I know Southwest is having a special right now on airfare – flights starting at $69 one way! – and maybe that could help you book some flights to visit your top schools? I really think visiting the actual school is better; you get to see the campus, dorms, performing facilities, and have a more personal audition. Instead of auditioning for 6+ schools in Chicago, I am now auditioning on campus for Millikin, Texas State and (hopefully) Webster. I will still be sending a video to Ithaca, but the other schools I was planning to audition for in Chicago have been bumped from my list. The phrase “Quality not quantity” is finally making sense to me after all these months 
Good luck, whatever you decide!</p>
