@CaMom13 WVU told us they’d be able to use it for an artistic acceptance for voice/acting but we had to submit a dance video. However, my D already had visited campus and sat in on a class and watched a show. Not sure if it’s standard practice for them.

I think some of the schools are not audition schools but use MARCAS as a determining factor for talent scholarships or to influence admissions. My D got an email from one school today saying they would reach out to admissions to advocate for them to “put together a financial package to allow you to truly consider whether or not XXX University is the right fit for you.” They went from not on the list to serious consideration based on their website and her discussion with the professor that was there.

Another non-audition school was pushing hard for her to visit so they could offer her a scholarship. That said, she only met with a dozen of the schools there (she doesn’t want to go south), so I can’t speak for the other 20 or so. Maybe @lithpool can expound on the experience for her S.
