<p>soozievt - If a student does not need financial aid then he/she should not audition if the school does not require it for admission as he/she will be wasting everyone’s time and, potentially, taking money away from those that need it. There are many ways of showing interest in a school without participating in a non-required financial aid audition. At our small high school we have 5 kids who were admitted over the last 3 years who did not audition, 2 who did. The two who did were awarded money, one is not a theatre major at all.</p>
