<p>Our Story is also similar to those above. Since we have known for years that D was probably going to go the MT route, we had designated our roles before starting the process. I handle payment, scheduling, data entry on Apps, travel arrangements and some scheduling with coaches if she is not available. She handles the artistic side, filming prescreens, arranging for accompanists (if needed), essays, LORs etc.</p>
<p>We agreed that she would not audition for any shows in the fall, but she is still swamped with the normal Senior Year Stuff, Thespian Competition, and a part time job working for a children’s theatre program. There is no way she could do this completely on her own.
When it comes to scheduling on campus auditions and unifieds I make the decision of the timing, since we need to find care for her disabled brother if we are both leaving town.</p>
<p>One thing that we did to make my “assistant” role easier, is set up a separate email account for college purposes. I check it during the day while she is at school, and if there is something that needs to be taken care of, I can do it right away. Once she eventually settles on a school, she can change the password, and I will be out of the picture.</p>
