<p>Hopefully, the lack of an interview isn't a death knell. My daughter received a contact for an interview date, but it was for a location half a continent away. She contacted the interviewer and explained that she couldn't possibly make the travel arrangements for that interview on that short notice as they would be both cost prohibitive and she was due in another city for an audition. The interviewer very kindly said, "no problem" and that she would forward my daughter's material to the correct place to (hopefully) arrange an interview in the city in which my daughter actually lives. </p>
<p>In addition, the interviewer explained that my daughter's information was originally sent to Florida because that is the address of her high school. We actually live in a midwestern city, which is where this interviewer was. So, the assignment made some sense, but my daughter lives in a city on the West Coast where she is in training for the year after graduating high school early. But she didn't put a 'school' address anywhere on her college applications--which was a good thing because at the time she actually did the applications, she lived on the eastern seaboard. We thought it best to have all mail come to her home address.</p>
<p>Ultimately, I'm not sure she was able to get the interview set up in her city or to have a phone interview with the midwestern-based interview due to travel and time changes . . . .</p>
<p>(Just a little complicated for purposes of this college deal. Oh, and her guidance counsellor from the Florida school is located in Texas . . . . Yes, we definitely had fun trying to co-ordinate times for phone calls, snail mail for signatures, deadlines to each coast. That's why we did everything in October . . . . .)</p>
