<p>Just one comment on Mezzo’sMamma’s comment on contacting the Admissions Department if sudden illness occurs – I’m a great one for keeping communications open with the Admissions Office. However, my advice is to not count on the Admissions Office to make any accomodation for you, such as re-scheduling the audition for a later date if, for example, you were originally scheduled to audition the last day. Northwestern was immovable in this regard. So, the advice is – if you have a number one choice – make sure you schedule that audition early in the audition season so that if you do become ill, you will have options for re-scheduling. The pre-recorded DVD and/or CD may be a good back-up, but there’s nothing like auditioning in person (in full form, of course).</p>
