On the subject of leaving auditions late if you are on a Foundation [or similar] course.
After my D's experiences last year, I would always advise auditioning early. My D was on an acting Foundation course at East 15 and was told not to audition until late on. She took this advice, but almost ended up with nothing. She wasn't offered the full BA at East, and initially didn't get in to her preferred choice, Central, due to the fact that they had simply run out of places to offer.If she had applied earlier in the process, she probably would have got in. Fortunately, she was subsequently offered a place, but not until August.
Be careful with Foundation courses. They are not feeder courses for the BA courses. Was not particularly impressed with the way in which East went about the audition process for their foundation students. I think that you need to do what is best for you.
Just to add to this, my DD has the offer of the degree at Millenium. We did part one of the enrolment as required to hold the place but it did say on the email:
"Please note all places are allocated on a first come first served bases and cannot be guaranteed until confirmation has been sent to you. If it has not been possible to allocate you a place. Your registration fee will be returned to you." That was a bit unexpected!!
Having said that at Evolution, all of the students we spoke to on the Foundation were advised to audition as late as possible to make sure they were fully prepared and had made the most of their foundation year.
