<p>Glad the audition and visit with Charlie went well; he is truly a nice guy. My D, who is now a sophomore at NYU, auditioned for Charlie in November two years ago and also felt very supported and that he was interested, and she did get offered admission, so I guess that <em>is</em>/<em>was</em> a good sign! I came with my D to the school that day but of course did not sit in on the auditions (yikes, NO!) or on the tour of the department. The adcoms at Muhlenberg are just lovely (very friendly) and I would strongly recommend anyone who wants to go to Muhlenberg do an admissions interview. Muhlenberg really seems to want to admit kids that want to be there, and one way to “show the love” is to show up for a campus visit and do an interview. Best wishes to your D! MC seems like a wonderful program. </p>
<p>Oh, yes, the scholarships are based mostly on academics. I think Charlie has a little bit of money to throw to talent scholarships, but the bulk of the very nice package my kid was offered was for her scholastic record.</p>
