<p>Read through a lot of the threads on this forum, for one thing! You will learn a great deal just by reading what other students who have come before you have done, the questions they have asked, and the answers they have received. Plus, read through the threads up at the top of the forum for individual school programs. In addition, do your own research on various programs by going to their Web sites and even emailing the program administrators to ask more specific questions, though you might not want to do that right now, when they are in the thick of audition season. Best wishes!</p>
