Prescreen DVD's

<p>Does anyone have any information about how difficult it is to pass the DVD prescreening process this year to be invited to audition for schools such as U of Michigan, Texas State, and OU? I'm wondering how many candidates they will actually be seeing this year compared to last year.</p>

<p>I know more schools are starting to prescreen-other than the 3 schools listed and I believe Otterbein prescreens does anyone know who else does?</p>

<p>Prescreens for HS class of 2012:

  • Otterbein
  • Indiana University
  • Texas State
  • U of Michigan
  • U of Oklahoma</p>

<p>Please add to the list if you know of other programs requiring a prescreen.</p>

<p>When I auditioned for UMich, I heard there were about 600 prescreen applicants and around 350 were invited for a live audition.</p>

<p>I don’t think there is any way to gauge the difficulty of passing a prescreen any more than you can predict what programs will accept you. And just like at an audition, someone may be rejected for reasons beyond their control.</p>

<p>In the past, UMich had 600-650 apply and 400-450 passed the academic prescreen. I had heard they still passed 400-450 with the prescreen. I also heard a faculty member say that since it was new to them, they were a bit more lenient with this year’s prescreen - so next year’s numbers could vary.</p>

<p>I’ve heard that Elon is prescreening this coming year.</p>

<p>There was another thread earlier this year in which a very ambitious dad made and kept adding to a list of all the schools that did prescreening. I suggest searching for it rather than reinventing the wheel . . .</p>

<p>Here is the thread that covered prescreens and how to submit auditions by dvd - very helpful! Last page has the most comprehensive list:</p>

<p>@Christie2 - yes, that is great a great list.</p>

<p>It seems that by the end of the DVD Audition thread, the list had morphed to include a combination of both types of digital submissions, but I think the name of that original thread would be misleading for someone specifically looking for Pre-screen info versus submitting a DVD to replace a live audition. The former is a requirement, the latter is an option. </p>

<p>I’m not agreeing or disagreeing that this thread should end, but as classicalbk said, “These are two entirely different beasts, as it were.”</p>

<p>I created this list with the input from others. It may be more complete. Here you go.
