If the program you are applying to has a final round audition/interview and you are invited to participate in the final round, you will be presented with the option to come to campus to audition or to submit final recorded videos and schedule a remote interview with faculty. You will not be disadvantaged in the admissions process for choosing the remote option. Specific details will be provided to you after the prescreening period has passed (late December).
