<p>I am a junior in high school and am interested in applying to the Film Program at Tisch my senior year. I have many questions about the process of applying and the program itself for current and past NYU students :</p>
<p>For the supplement materials, what did you put on the resume? I have some background in film but what else can I put? That I am an Eagle Scout? Certified in Final Cut Pro?</p>
<p>How was/is the experience at Tisch? Do teachers care for their students? What the film program offer that others don't?</p>
<p>I know that there is not really a college campus. But do most students have school spirit and participate in clubs and organizations? Is it hard to meet people there?</p>
<p>The resume can include all activities, employment, etc. (ask your english teacher or guidance counselor for help creating a resume if you’re not sure how to do so). This is because NYU adcoms reviews the common app portion of your application, and your portfolio is reviewed by a separate adcom in Tisch. The portfolio is 50% of your application, the common app is the other 50%. Each committee decides if they want to accept you, and if they both say yes, you’re in! I toured NYU and they have hundreds of clubs!
The film program at Tisch is the top film program in the country. When I visited, the admission officers and professors of Tisch told us: If accepted, you will work harder than you’ve ever worked in your life, but (if you love film) you’ll have the best time of your life.</p>
<p>Hope I helped!
- Applying for NYU ED1 for Tisch Film as we speak! Wish me luck!</p>
