At the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Dance they expect you to pay for your applications to be handled. Its something mad like £20 but for the traditional music course its even more. I cant remember off the top of my head but its ridiculous! What do they actually do with them? get them in the post them put them in a pile and someone reads them?! And after that you have to pay for your transport to the place to audition, not to mention all the other necessicities like food! Are we made of money or what?! As for paying to audition, thats just plain nonsense! and thats all I have to say on that subject!
