<p>Please be aware that just because a school doesn’t have an audition, it cannot be considered a “back up” or “sure bet safety”. A school is only a sure bet safety if your academic profile is above the average for the admitted student profile for that college and the college doesn’t have a low acceptance rate, let alone does not have an audition. One person’s “back up” school may be another person’s “reach” school. It is not enough to ask about non-audition schools. If you are looking for a back up school, it is in relation to YOU. Muhlenberg is a safety school for some strong students but a reach or a match for other students.</p>
