Well, there may be no school without a non-audition school. This process is so much more competitive than you would ever think. Everyone warned us this year and we heard it, but we didn’t really hear it, thinking: “oh, but she’s so talented.” Doesn’t matter. Honestly - it doesn’t. It’s random and subjective and I know many, MANY, kids who are going to their so-called “safeties” this year. There are no safeties. They don’t exist. And, let me tell you, those so called safeties are filled with talented kids because they didn’t get into the lottery schools. I was so snobby when I started this process and now I’m all about “yay! You got in somewhere!”
