Auditioning and applying for programs
My violin performance major friend Kristen shares her experience auditioning for the music major at Geneseo, and I share the process of application and acceptance into the creative writing track for the English major.
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
So we're gonna walk into the icy and on the way, there were going to tell you about some of the selective programs on campus that were in. I'm a creative writing major, and I had to apply for it. So do you want to talk about how you kind of had audition? Yeah. So I to be an orchestra and liked to take lessons and stuff. I just had a plate for the main teacher here, Andrew Bergman. I just played like a piece that I was currently working on so that he could kind of figure out where to place me in orchestra and get a sense of, like, what the general talent level is of the students. Then So when I was applying for the creative writing programme, you just there's you apply for a workshop which is like an upper level class and a and to be in the program at the same time. You write like a five to ten page submission, and you hand it in with your cover letter and then you'll get your acceptance or rejection back, and then you go from there on if you can, you can always reapply next semester and stuff and get into the major.
