<p>Hi HSN, </p>
<p>As I said - researching the bios of cast with no listed college I commonly find they have already completed a tour or perfomed when young thus having this hands-on experience and having proven themselves. As far as the opinion of the Directors/Producers in casting those without college, you can find first hand feedback on that on CC threads. Sorry but I can’t recall right now the name(s) of those threads. I think you might find that discussion on this last year Rejection thread or a thread dealing with not getting into any college choices and discussions about the prospects of just hitting the audition circuit straight out of high school.</p>
