I thought I would make a "big list" tips from the Class of 2020 (or anyone who had gone through the process before) to the Class of 2021.
1. Ask all kinds of theatre people (teachers, other auditioners, college kids, the internet) for suggestions to pick the schools you audition for.
2. Make up a big list and apply to them ASAP! Write all the 2million essays EARLY.
3. Print out the prescreen info for every school that needs them and keep all those papers together. And record those early!
4. Try to get around to scheduling auditions as early as possible so your auditions can be as convenient as possible.
5. Print out what each school requires for an audition and keep those papers together.
6. Write down all the account login info for each school's portal!
7 .Everything in college auditions is extremely subjective. Your acceptance/waitlist/rejection could be because of anything. It's too early for the adjudicators, they hate your outfit/hair, you remind them of a bad student, etc. This process isn't always about who is the most talented, but what that college prefers in their program. That could change year to year. Chin up, prepare early, and don't take it personally. It's usually not ever personal.
Of course, Please Copy/Paste and keep adding! Feel Free to reorganize them by topics.. etc.
