LaGuardia Callbacks

Does anyone know when you are notified about a callback for LaGuardia?  Is it at the audition, by phone, email, from the school guidance counselor and when? I know that notifications go out in February, but some kids have already started callbacks. Please help. Thanks.

Are Beacon Interviews Pre-Screened for Basic Requirements Met?

Does Beacon, or any other school that requires an interview, pre-screen students who have secured appointments to make sure that they meet basic academic requirements?
