<p>Just to clarify about callbacks at Purchase: I think sometimes they have callbacks, which happen the same day, and sometimes they don’t. When my son auditioned it was late in the season, I think their last day for auditions. There were, I’d say, several hundred kids there. Some got there at 7 a.m. for their audition, then there were callbacks in the late afternoon. Finally, at the end of the day, they called back about eight students, at which point the dean came to talk to them and try to sell them on the program. By that time it was about 7 p.m., which made for a pretty long day.
Several students already there, however, said they had only one audition. I don’t think there were any callbacks for kids auditioning at unifieds. So the answer seems to be, it depends.</p>
