Unified auditions for 2011

<p>My daughter also did a walk-in for Penn State and for Carnegie Melon last year in LA. For PSU, she submitted an application 2 days later, was accepted, and did end up attending there this year. For CM, she did her audition and then was told to submit an application as soon as possible after she got home. She ended up choosing not to apply there for various reasons, so we don’t know what would have happened. For PSU, she showed up to the audition room very early that day and waited until they arrived. They took her right in and had her audition right then, as they said they were booked the rest of the day. Then they had her come back for the dance portion later in the day. For CM, she probably would not have gotten an audition time under normal circumstances, but they had arrived to the Unifieds really late because of weather delays, so they ended up staying an extra day in LA. She had to go back on Monday to audition for them. I would recommend that if your D chooses to try for a walk-in that she get there as early as possible to talk to them. More and more people try for walk-ins as the day progresses so many schools stop taking them. At the LA Unifieds, I know POint Park was also taking them.</p>
