Chances of getting into NYU (TSOA) for drama?

<p>I have been thinking about Tisch for awhile now and really want to know if I even have a chance...</p>

<p>I went to a private high school. My cumilative GPA was about 3.0. I was not an impressive student. I graduated with a Core40 dimploma. </p>

<p>I am currently attending a public (state) college. My current GPA is a 3.4. Freshman year it was 3.75. An internship brought my GPA down horribly followed by a less than stellar semester.</p>

<p>I intend to bring my GPA back up to a 3.8 and have straight A's this semester. I am currently getting involved in local theater productions, I am a marketing officer for the film club on campus and founder/president of an animal rights organization (we have several things planned). </p>

<p>This past summer I was heavily involved in an independent film, one that is being considered to premiere at Sundance.</p>

<p>Now onto the negative....straight B's last semester, and an internship at a local news station that left the employees thinking I was not worthy of their time. The real story is probably irrelevant.</p>

<p>I have had little to no acting experience, however people from the time I was a child told me my performances were always excellent. I know I possess natural talent.</p>

<p>After this semester I am "dropping out," with the intention of moving to New York where I will be signing with a modeling agency- not something I want to do for a very long time. I also plan on soaking up the world of theater, completely immersing myself, starting at the bottom, and getting on a stage. This will likely last for a year-year and a half, at which point I hope to be accepted into NYU.</p>

<p>Something else I thought I should mention- I am an excellent writer.</p>

<p>Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate any advice.</p>

<p>Isn’t Tisch more about the audition than grades?</p>

<p>The real question-- will your family pay the $55K plus? Aid for transfers beyond the Federal is rare.</p>

<p>Money is not an issue. I have heard its more about the audition which is great, because I’m not much of an academic. I excel in classes like art, theater, philosophy, english, but do less than stellar in classes like math and science, which I did take.</p>
