Hi, my son applied to 29 schools 
About 20 from this list were submitted a few days before December 1st. He practically broke it down into 10 schools priority, 10 schools medium and 9 low priority (safety). As of today, he heard back from 3: Rider, University of Oklahoma and Ball State. (all pass prescreen). He struggle to narrow his list, so I am counting that the list will “self-shrink” when the rejections come in. It would be impossible to audition to so many schools in a short amout of time between January and March.
We are planning Unifieds for NY and Chicago. He agreed that for some of the less priority schools on his list, he will do digital audition if available.
