Thank you both for responding. I agree that it’s a good idea to get things in as early as possible. I must confess having a near stroke when I read the “have you gotten started thread” in early September. Here I was thinking that my D was in good shape having completed the Common App.

All but two of her schools require the application be in first to schedule the audition and one includes the prescreen DVD which she’s closing in on but not finished yet. With a final push, she should be done with all of the “file first then schedule” schools this weekend. She’s been surprised to discover that very few essays can be reused so it’s not the cut, tweak and paste experience she was hoping for.

We’re quickly discovering that scheduling is a particular challange coming from the west coast because of the time zone switch as you fly east. You automatically have to factor another day into the schedule just get there. Oh well. Others have figured it out so we will too. Thanks again.
