Actually… Texas State does audition in Chicago. And it is a final audition. At least that has been the case the past two years. I believe an on campus callback might have been required in the past… But as of the 2018 cycle, the Chicago auditon after a video prescreen pass was a final audition.
Ah, well, you know, Chicago might as well be Texas if you live in NYC! Tunnel vision. I only think of unifieds in terms of the ones that didn’t cost us anything. One school took forever to review a prescreen and then offered a unified date in LA. They weren’t kidding.
Actually, at the last minute, Texas State, Shenandoah, and Relativity joined forces and had walk in auditions at the NYC Unifieds this year. I think it was a last minute decision to do the Unifieds. They shared a room at Pearl Studios. The kids who auditioned for them did all three schools in one audition.
^I was there and for Texas, they still wanted you to come on campus or to Chicago.
