<p>Other people could probably answer this better than I, but I believe that MT applicants particularly like auditions that are centralized with regard to time and location because of the very demanding nature of what they are required to do.</p>
<p>But everyone, just about, greatly appreciates the opportunity to audition during the period of Unifieds because of the huge savings in cost and time. </p>
<p>The Unifieds are not mostly for MT, although enormous numbers of MT students audition at them.</p>
<p>DramaMamma, I’m sorry I got mixed up and thought you were near Chicago. Being near New York is good because there are so many schools that are not so far away. We live an hour and a half from NYC, and my son did on-campus auditions at SUNY Purchase, Rutgers and Montclair State. He auditioned for Carnegie Mellon, Boston University and NYU/Tisch in New York City during Unifieds.</p>
