Admission Requirements We’ve been processing a record number of applications!  More may be better some of the time, but not when you have almost 5,000 applications to process in the month of December! We had our first auditions of the year – for Opera Studies in December, and just this past weekend, two days of Drama Division auditions.  We’re full swing now – New York City Drama auditions finish this coming weekend, and then Dance and Drama faculty go on the road for regional auditions. We have finished the pre-screening process for over 2,000 of our music applications.  The faculty reviewed recordings, videos and compositions, and we’ve been sending out those results for the past couple of weeks.  Now that we know who’s been invited to audition, we’re working on the exact schedule of dates and times.
