[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my impression also-that the school would leave a spot open rather than fill it with a student who just won’t be able to keep up with the other students in the program.[/quote] This is correct, but more than being able to "keep up", it's about who wants it. It is not at all unusual for DE to take a less-talented kid with hustle, passion and curiosity above the more experienced kid who will tell you-- alarmingly honestly-- in an audition that their parents make them play/sing/act/dance/write but they want to go into psychology, or they don't like to practice, don't like to read, never tried to create outside of being assigned, etc... Other times it's just a matter if fit with the cohort. You want a mix of leaders, followers, team players, individualists..they have ti work together for four years.[/quote]
