<p>With limited choices in contemporary music programs, my S only did 3 auditions and I even thought that was exhausting, especially having to travel by plane 2 weeks in a row in January; 1 on west coast and 1 on east coast. If you are applying to Berklee, I highly recommend sending in an application in early fall to secure a November audition date. Not only will you get one out of the way early, you will automatically be considered an EA candidate and will hear something by Jan. 31.</p>
