<p>I think the only disadvantage to Unifieds as others have noted is if you happen to get sick that weekend. We are from CA and had to limit to Los Angeles Unifieds. My D has gone thru the process twice. First in '08, where she auditioned at Unifieds and was accepted to all of her programs. After deciding where she ended up just wasn’t a good fit for her, she left the first program and reauditioned at Unifieds again. This time she got in as a transfer to all but 1 of the schools. Interesting to note that she was admitted both times to walk-ins that she did, and is in fact now attending Penn State where she was a walk-in audition. The only on-campus audition she did was UCLA as they are close to us. We also did not do any campus visits until after she was admitted and had narrowed down those she was most interested in. Good luck!!!</p>
