Does one need to have stellar grades for Tisch?

<p>I heard that Tisch isn't so much focused on your grades but more towards your portfolio/audition. I have a short film i am going to submit. Would a person with a 3.4 gpa and average SAT/ACT scores have a chance with a good video?</p>

<p>The review is split 50/50 academic and artistic. Academic performance matters. If they have to choose between you and someone with a comparable artistic portfolio / potential but a better transcript, you can guess who’ll get the nod! You certainly have a chance, but you have to pass both the academic AND the artistic review.</p>

<p>That’s really good to know. Thanks! Also do you or anyone know the deadline to Tisch? Or is it the same date shown on the Common App? I can’t seem to find it.</p>
