<p>I didn't know if anyone may be able to help here... My son plans to apply to the College of Music at FSU. He'll put is application in this fall and assuming he is accepted by the University (his academics are pretty strong, so he has a fairly reasonable chance), he would hopefully be auditioning over the winter.</p>
<p>His goal is to be accepted in a vocal performance program. We did a tour of the school this past winter and it's definitely his first choice school. The web site says they have on campus auditions as well as National Audition Dates. Two of those dates are in NYC. Being from Connecticut, that's a day trip / train ride for us as opposed to plane rides, hotels and rental cars (in short less $$$).</p>
<p>So the question becomes... if this is truly his first choice school, would going down for an on campus audition be more favorably looked on than auditioning at one of the national dates? Just trying to plan ahead. He'll also be applying/auditioning for other programs (second, third choice etc) and I want to start organizing the whole ordeal if possible.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any input...</p>
