[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In just this thread it's been said there's about 20 students accepted per discipline. Around 160 per freshman call (on average). That has risen a small bit each year as the school adjusts to the new building. But the school size is the school size, so I'm just not sure why how many students audition is relevant to the fact that every freshman class is about the same size. Remember that the number who come in and the number who are accepted is not the same number, accounting for yield. They might accept 30% more than actually attend. People get lost to the lottery, families move, make other choices...
Isn't the more useful question for someone planning to try next year, "How best to prepare?"[/quote]

Why rely on averages and “might accept” percentages when we can share actual numbers?  I’m not sure why sharing information is so offensive to you. If it doesn’t seem useful to you, why comment?

And yes if any parents want to share how their students prepared for successful auditions, that would also be wonderful information.[/quote]

I agree that some basic information on the number applicants v's the number of spots per discipline would be interesting to know.

My child auditioned and passed for music, has been playing that instrument for 8 years, loves it, and plays very well. Preparation for audition was 6 moths learning and practicing  an advanced piece. [/quote]

Congratulations to your child!! And thank you for sharing this helpful information.

Would you be willing to look in Acceptd (schedule / timeslots / expand) to see how many students signed up for Instrumental Music auditions and callbacks?[/quote]
