Circus Colleges

[broadway guy]

I know this is a board for broadway related topics but Circus and theatre are very similar.I'm in the middle of doing College circus auditions. I just have a few questions:

How Much do Resumes matter? Im applying to ALot Big circus schools around the world and I would say I have a pretty solid resume

1.Am in the athlete databank for cirque du soleil's current and future shows.
2.Won Tumbling World age groups
3.Worked for other companiesisney world
4.Big theatre backround

But how much of that really matters when it comes to auditons?

The schools I have Applied to are:
1.National Instiute Circus Arts(Australia)
2.National Circus school ( Canada)
3.Ecole cirque Quebec ( Canada)
4.New england center for circus arts ( USA)
5.Circomedia ( britain)
6.National Circus space ( Britain)
7.Academie Fratellini ( France)

Ive sent in DVD auditions for a few of those.Auditions haven't started Yet for alot of them. The only one I have heard back from yet was the Australia one and I was accepted into there BCA program ( equivelent of a BFA for theatre) so im very excited about that but I may have to turn the offer down.

Does anyone know any other Professional Circus colleges? Is 7 a good amount schools to audiiton for? I figure if I audition for as many as I can im bound to get into a few of them. If anyone else on here has applied to these schools or others I would love to hear your experience.Thanks!
