@dharmawins Congrats!!! Great story and sooo important for future students to consider their material. My D had a similar experience a year ago. Was married to audition material (and prescreen) and just wasn’t getting results. Did some soul searching and made some changes and voila, got several 2nd half acceptances. It all worked out but she might have been shut out or had very limited options without the changes. Funny (now) because her audition coach was leery about her prescreen songs. She performed them well but he thought they might not resonate that well. Turns out he was right. Takes a strong person to reinvent themselves while in the midst.
Super Congrats!
Congratulations dharmawins!

YES, wish we had more people posting here!
Congratulations on finishing and what a wild ride! I often compare this process to having kids. You can read all the books and know what’s coming but nothing can truly prepare you for your specific experience and how it feels!
