[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was surprised to see how few students apply. [/quote] The total number of students who applied isn't available, as far as I know, although you might be able to call the school and ask. The weeding process is pretty time-consuming (my child went through it) and includes submitting several recommendations, an audition (with call-backs) or showing of a portfolio, and a family interview. You can read about the application process for each program on their website. The numbers you see at the PP's link show 1) the kids who made it through the application process and were admitted and 2) the kids who made it through but in the end were put on a short waiting list. Not shown are: 3) total number of kids who applied to each program or 4) number of kids who were either turned away at some point during the admissions process or who failed to complete all of the steps.[/quote]
