<p>Okay, so, I don't even know if I'm accepted or not, but the wait is killing me so I'm just gonna ask questions that are on my mind. One such question is... is it worth it??? Estimates place the annual cost of attending Tisch SOTA at upwards of 50,000 dollars. I guess for established, prestigious programs such as Film and Drama, it makes sense to spend that kind of money, because of the opportunities that Tisch alumni have. HOWEVER............ I am applying for the Recorded Music program, which is fairly new............ what are the networking/internship opportunities like...... am i going to starve to death trying to pay off student loans????? WHADDAYA THINK? will it be worth it??????????? should i even be thinking about this if i haven't even been accepted or rejected yet? WHO KNOWS?</p>
<p>i'm posting here so that the <strong>Official Decisions 2005</strong> thread will DISAPPEAR!!!</p>
<p>I will be applying for that program also.</p>
<p>NYU puts you in the middle of one of the, if not the largest music/entertainment industry presences in the world. As a result, I would imagine that the recorded music internship/networking programs would be very good. The program was also created hand in hand with one of the, if not the most important record producer(s) in the modern music, and I know that the Music Business program in Steinhardt has great internship oppurtunites.</p>
<p>There are a lot of other good recording schools out there, but none of them put you in a prime record industry hub while giving you a full college degree from one of the best universities in the country (except maybe usc, but their program isn't as strong). This is something that will men a lot regardless if you enter the recording industry directly or not.</p>
<p>Considering the location, quality of education, and prestige of the school, I would consider Tisch worth the money. I cannot find another institution that offers any more for what we are looking to pursue.</p>
<p>I'm a current Tisch ReMu student, and I'm really impressed with the program so far. The professors here know everybody there is to know in the music industry, and we get major hook ups. Plus there are mandatory internships that we have to do, so networking is amazing. But still, I guess if you consider yourself an artist, chances are, like every aspiring artist, that you may be starving in the near future. But think optimistically. :)</p>
<p>I applied and got accepted in the Clive Davis Music program as a transfer in Fall 2006. I'm coming from a business school, and wondering if I should have applied to Steinhardt Music Business. What is the difference? I have the background for both, so I'm not sure which is the best program. How many applied for spots at clive davis?</p>
