Placement Videos
Once accepted to the High School Summer Conservatory, students must submit a placement video to gauge talent placement in your chosen session track. Please use the highest quality recording equipment available to you. For best results, place your recording device on a stationary object, such as a table. Please note that all videos will be used for scholarship consideration.
Accepted Students
Students receive an acceptance decision email, which includes information on acceptance and the next steps that they must take to secure a position in the program.
IMPORTANT: Once you receive your acceptance email, please make your $250 (refundable until May 1st) deposit. This deposit secures your place in the programs. IF you have been accepted, but have not deposited, your spot in the program is NOT confirmed.
Once accepted to the High School Summer Conservatory at AMDA, students must submit a placement video to gauge talent placement in your chosen session and focus.
Instructions for what to include and how to submit the placement video can be found on the placement videos page.
Please submit placement videos within 14 days of receiving acceptance email. To request an extension, please email highschool@amda.edu.
Once adjudicators review placement video submissions, any potential merit scholarship will be updated on your student portal.
After student's acceptance, the AMDA High School Summer Conservatory outreach team calls the parents of accepted students to discuss any questions or concerns they may have.
If you would like to set up an appointment for this call, please email us at highschool@amda.edu with the best day, time, and phone number to reach you.
