StoneMagic:

Wrong again - most do NOT require pre-screening. I love how people just throw around general statements with zero stats to back up their inane banter. Not here, not now, not ever.



StoneMagic, I don’t know if you were addressing me or not (since I was the one who wrote the post right above yours), but if so …

I never said that all schools require pre-screenings. I never said that all major universities do. Nor all LACs or conservatories or anything else. I also never said that Lawrence U required a pre-screening in the post you may have been addressing. Like lots of parents on these threads, I’m pretty well-versed in the college audition process at this point. And I know Lawrence U’s process very well.

I only said, many posts ago, that these two statements, made by you, were NOT true:



post #23:

The decent programs don’t ask for DVDs or CDs in advance

and

post#41:

no major state universities ask for a DVD or CD



It probably won’t be the last time that you say something that’s not quite right here on CC. Anybody who’s posted with any frequency has mis-spoken, mis-typed, or inadvertently given bad information. I don’t really understand your position – you seem to be sticking to your guns and trying to prove that you were right all along. There’s really no need! :)

Besides, this is Mdndad’s thread – about the music major’s college admission process, in general. I think we scared him away! :o
