<p>Interesting Actingdad…hmmmmm, that is another question I am wondering about… timing of a auditions. At most schools they say they don’t make a decision until all auditions are done. but I’m wondering about that. It seems to me if they are looking for “types” that might make initial decisions and then sort it all out after everyone has auditioned. It seems to me the earlier the better, and I have already looked at a few EA auditions in Nov. so he can get his feet wet per se. The only negative about that is that if he happens to get bad news early on it may impact confidence. But, my DS usually doesn’t have a problem with rejection. </p>
<p>Unfortunately we live in So Cal, so all but USC and UCLA are going to be an expensive plane ride across the country. I think the first on campus audition at BU ( my DS’s fav BFA right now) is not until Jan. I think Elon has an EA audition, but it doesn’t coincide with UNCSA’s audition… you see the problem… Elon’s audition has to be on campus, as well as Muhlenberg’s. It looks like DePaul has a weekend thing where they audition and visit the school, go to acting classes, and meet faculty and students. I think he would enjoy that. It was in Dec. this year. I’m thinking of having him do the consortium in LA for UNCSA, Purchase and CMU, because those schools are the most selective, and the probability of acceptance is pretty low. Our HS has had really good luck with kids at BU and NYU…as you can tell…HELP!!!</p>
