Pretty interesting, but the description of the entire audition process gave me anxiety and flashbacks.
Am I reading it right that the winner was already Mr. Knox's student at a different school?

For fun I toured Curtis with my son. The students leading the tour flat out said the best strategy for getting into Curtis was to be a current student of the Curtis faculty, either in another program (like here) or through private instruction.
