<p>Are you applying to Tisch or CAS? Your application shows that you’re strong in English as well as the Choir thing…
You seem good to go except for the teacher recommendations…
Why couldn’t you have had an English teacher or a Choir Director(?) for your recommender? It would have looked better.</p>

<p>Thats all that I could question…Otherwise your application seems amazing!!</p>

<p>@ImNYUobsessed‌ I wasn’t planning on applying to either. Just the general school. I was considering adding my english teacher, but she blows hot and cold with her students and I am very uneasy putting her as a reccommender.My choir director does his job mainly as a hobby so I’m not sure how far that would go. BUT, the priest in question has been hearing my sing and be part of the multitude of choirs so I’m hoping that would be cover it! </p>

<p>@justaspy‌ (nice username haha) CAS is the general Arts and Sciences school…
Well as long as your recommendor is saying that you’re also good at singing, you’ll be fine I think…
