<p>Was that by mail or email?</p>
<p>Tisch? I have it on pretty good authority that the emails are going out the 30th and you can only apply to and be admitted to one program, they donât offer you admission to something else if you donât get in.</p>
<p>Yes, you can only apply to one school at NYU. However, the email came as advance notice of your admission decision and offered the liberal studies program instead- letter said âplease know that we did consider your application to Tisch School of the Artsâ.</p>
<p>Weird. This is right from our website FAQs</p>
<p>If I am not accepted into the Department of Drama, can I be admitted into another school at NYU?
No. If you are not accepted into the Department of Drama at Tisch School of the Arts, you are not accepted into NYU at all that year. Applicants may submit an application to only one school at NYU and subsequently to only one department in that school</p>
<p>Thatâs sounds like being LSPâd and it was made very clear to me that it could not happen if you apply to Tisch. Well, I thought so, anyway.</p>
<p>Yep, we thought the same thingâŠno Tisch=no NYU. This is entry to LSP core program. Just wanted to share.</p>
<p>I thought Tisch had changed that policy this year. It had always been as youâve all stated but I seem to recall someone here saying that things had changed to allow for this.</p>
<p>ughâŠrejected from Pace.</p>
<p>Yesterday email rejections came from TCU and WMU AND the rejection letter arrived from IU, as if the email from them wasnât clear enough a few weeks ago : ) My D just let it slide right off her back because guess what, students can only attend ONE school, so all you need is one!!
Only waiting for two more schools now.</p>
<p>Rejected from UCLAâŠ</p>
<p>Rejected from Syracuse. That was my top choice :/</p>
<p>@legallyblonde it was one of my tops as well :(</p>
<p>Sorry Legallyblonde87 and gabbadabadoo!!! Hope you get a good option.</p>
<p>All said and done, rejected from all five audition schools for their MT/Acting programs (still accepted at some for straight academics)âŠNYU, Carnegie Mellon, BU, Ithaca, Mason Gross. Heâs obviously disappointed, he says he needed to prove to himself that he was good enough to get in . This has never been (he wants law school) a career consideration for him so I donât understand why he is so upset. Someone please tell me that kids on campuses across the country are still singing and being cast even if they arenât a BFA? I know the answer but it is hard making my child believe that to be true. Goodness, bring on the books and ivy day already!</p>
<p>As someone put it recently, students from âtopâ BFA MT programs donât necessarily end up on Broadway, and people in Broadway productions have not necessarily gone to a BFA program. There are plenty of MT/acting opportunities throughout the country for people who just want to be on stage, but have another career. If your son wants to be a lawyer but still sing/act, then he can do that! My D was recently n a production of Sweeney Todd, and I was talking to the man who played Sweeney (who was phenomenal). He works full time, went to school for a non-MT major, and is in professional productions in the Boston area constantly. He feels like he has the best of both worlds. And, let me tell you, I would not have been disappointed if I had seen this man on BroadwayâŠhe was that good. There are many paths one can take, and if your S just loves to be on stage, he will find a way, BFA program or not. Good luck!</p>
<p>Cencible- to have a good shot at being cast in plays and musicals (as a non BFA/audition BA) it would be better to go to a school that doesnât even offer a BFA or audition BA.</p>
<p>Cencible- I mean, if you are at the school as a non-BFA or audition BA student to begin with of course :)</p>
<p>D was Not Accepted in CMU 
Two more to go. Unfortunately for her, itâs MT or nothing in all her applications!</p>
<p>CencibleâYesterday, I was talking to Dr. Parker, head of the theatre dept. at Texas Christian, because I wanted to know about their non-auditioned BA Theatre degree. He told me many positive things about the BA. He said that many of his most talented students are in the BA program. They donât even want the BA because they want to double major and canât really do that in the BFA because of the course requirements. He went on to say that this year the lead in âFantasticksâ was a freshman BA student!</p>
<p>Cencible, if your son goes to a school that does not have a BFA (like a liberal arts school) then he would be able to audition just like anyone else. When you say he has academic acceptances, you donât mean NYU, Carnegie Mellon, BU, Ithaca, Mason Gross, I assume. Because at those schools that would not be possible.</p>
