thisiismegan, for artistics acceptance, I will definitely agree with you – The audition is the thing. A solid 3.6 or higher and good test scores should definitely make a student fit within the academic requirements to be admissable to most schools, and may unlock some merit dollars from the academic side. Remember, some schools pre-screen before you are granted an audition, and there are stories of students artisically accepted to a school, but denied admission because they were not academically admissable. However, college admissions in general being so competitive, and the uptick in MT auditions leads me to believe that if you can do anything to make your application stand out – go for those classes with “teeth”. And then prepare like mad for your audition, take lots of dance and voice and acting, build your resume…and cross your fingers!
