<p>jugglingmom - maybe this is true for singers, but definitely not for classical instrumentalists. My son had several auditions to schools which admitted him with merit $$ where absolutely nothing was conveyed on the day of the audition. No communication at all at IU where he is currently attending! He felt that he really didn’t know whether they liked him at anyof them. It is usually very formal and they would consider it a breach of etiquette to convey their reaction at the audition. Unless…he didn’t pick up their cues. that said, the admits came quite quickly for all the schools so we didn’t have to wait too long. </p>
<p>ImperialZeppelin - I agree - I would have been completely freaked out had I thought other kids were getting more attention. Perhaps this is why most schools don’t allow it.</p>
