<p>D is scheduled for UofArts in Philadelphia on 3 Feb, and PSU and Otterbein in NYC on 4 Feb. Do any of the other univ/colleges/conservatories at the NYC Unified accept walk in auditions? What if the student has not applied to that univ/college/conservatory? She has already applied to 11-12 schools and will audition at 10-11 of them, but since she will be in NYC anyway....
Just wondering.
Thanks.</p>

<p>Many schools don't have any openings, but it doesn't hurt to walk the halls and ask. Many of us will see walk-ins if we have the time. It's part of the benefit of the unifieds to us. A student who might never have considered us will decide to do a walk-in, the fit may be perfect, and that's where the student will eventually go. Walk-ins obviously will not be expected to have applied in advance, but will almost certainly be required to apply immediately if they wish to be considered.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>It was my experience from last year that a number of schools took walk-ins, particularly the lesser known ones. Bring resumes, be flexible with schedules.</p>
<p>By the way, Super Bowl Sunday is a GREAT time to find no lines and good shows at TKTS. Remember to bring cash, as they don't accept credit cards. Some shows start at 3, I think, others 6 or 7.</p>
<p>Thank you for the great replies. We'll make sure she brings some extra 5x7 photos from a senior portrait sitting (we never did the professional headshot) and resumes. I think we're more nervous than our daughter about all these auditions!!</p>
<p>Last year at AMA (NY Unifieds) I was struck by the fact that really no one was centrally in charge. There were AMA employees, but otherwise I saw only one piece of white paper taped to a desk in the center of a floor noting that one school had openings. From reading here, I had thought there would be walk-in opportunities, but that wasn't our experience at all. I did try to find doctorjohn just to see him but the Otterbein door was closed and that list was full. Now we were only there on that Sunday, so Saturday might have been quite different. However, it appeared really compartmentalized, with programs tucked away in various nooks and crannies of the buildings. Some schools seemed to have crowd control issues (Emerson) while others appeared to be running smoothly and were much easier to negotiate.</p>
