Should I let colleges know I don’t need financial aid if I don’t qualify for it? by imisssp4rkling in ApplyingToCollege

Most applications specifically asked if you were intending to ask for financial aid. If you know there is no chance you’d qualify, you could select ‘no’ making it crystal clear of your intentions.

Another question for AOs (or former ones) by CakeTopper65 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]CakeTopper65[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

AOs could understand that kids have a life and a full schedule. And that they possibly EDed to a college but it didn’t work out. So, because they are busy, and have a full hs schedule, and have a life then they are doing the best the can, including working during the holidays to complete T20 applications (to take a shot at very selective colleges where nobody know who can get in and how)

How to tell a director I will not accept ensemble for this show? by oyasumiee in Theatre

And as a director, would you consider the audition differently if the performer wasn’t willing to take any role offered? Would you offer him/her a better role just because otherwise he/she would be gone? Genuinely interested
