Oberlin Conservatory - pre screening to actual audition

<p>a couple questions on the pre-screening to the audition.</p>

<p>1) How rigorous is it?
2) what do they look for?
3) are finances looked at during this phase?(finances were given as son was applying early)
4) do they inform you via email or usps whether you can go to the next step, audition</p>
