As the list grows, I'm wondering what's a good number of schools to apply to for my very non-traditional, transfer student who is trying to be a cello performance major. Right now, there are about 12-13 on the list, but that's too many.
How do you work around scheduling conflicts? I see a lot of schools have auditions on the same weekends in February. Do you guys do a master spreadsheet with dates and then try to get the best possible schedule, and then eliminate schools because you know your kid won't make the audition?
How do your kids deal with missing school for auditions? And all these applications to fill out-ugh. How does your kid do it all while practicing for hours and going to school? (Granted, my son is just getting back into school at the local CC, and is only taking one class this semester; he'll take more in the spring, but it's more than enough for him)
