NYU email

Did everyone whose DD is applying to NYU get the email from admissions saying they are finishing final review of application and asking if still interested in NYU? Assuming it’s computer generated but would like to think it’s a positive sign ?? Oh how the month of March is going to drag on…

Yes @thedancermom - Email asked if they already have committed someplace else. I wonder how many students made it through the audition process.

@Undercovermom1 I was wondering the same thing. My daughter auditioned in Chicago early January and if I remember right, there were about 10 dancers that made it through. Does NYU send decisions April 1st?

Yes, thereabouts. Could be a few days earlier.

My DD got the email as well. I wish I knew how many made it through the audition as well! There were about a total of 16 dancers that got through at her audition. I’ve heard that most auditions had very few get through. Is this true? I have heard that they will be notified March 28th but I could be wrong. The waiting is grueling.

We were at the beginning of Jan audition in NYC. Ther were 2 rooms of dancers. About 10 got to stay in my Ds room and about 10 stayed in the other room.

@dkmm1973 Which audition was you DD at?

@cllp2023 Was curious how big the on campus auditions were? Any guess on how many were in each room?

@thedancermom there were around 40-50. I think in her room there was around 24. They shuffled the first room off very quickly after check in while more dancers were checking in. Then for solos they stayed in their separate rooms so we aren’t totally sure how many got to stay in the other room but I heard from another dancer that it was about 10. I think this audition may have been larger as it was near the end. I heard from another mom at the pace audition that her D did an earlier NYU audition and there were only 25 total dancers at hers.

January 26th

Does anyone know what size of first year class they aim for?

@cllp2023 Thanks for the info! Now I’m trying to rack my brain and remember how many invites to the program they said they sent out…I know it was quite a bit more than what their typical final class size is each year of course… it’s a little encouraging to our dancers that made it through, I guess I didn’t realize how few were left at the end. Looking back at their audition schedule they didn’t hold as many auditions as I thought they did either actually…But still all wishful thinking at this point, I know it’s one of the best and most competitive dance programs in the country!

@thedancermom so much anxiety! Now I’m totally guessing, and I really mean guessing, that about 120-150 dancers probably made it through to the solo/interview and that’s totally dependent on the size of each audition. I’m realizing that ours was larger so my approximate number is even lower than I initially thought. That being said, I wonder how many they accept vs waitlist to get their yielded total.

@cllp2023 Yes anxiety for sure! Do you know how many they usually accept each year?

I believe they want an incoming class of 30ish? I could be mixing it up with another school though ?

My daughter auditioned January 25th in NYU. While the kids were in their audition the parents were invited on a tour with the current students. We were told that this upcoming year they are admitting a larger class as they aren’t having a graduate class this upcoming year. They mentioned a number close to 45?

@birdie13 even better, thanks!

@birdie13 Thanks for sharing that! Curious how many they will invite then? My daughter auditioned in Chicago so didn’t get to take the tour. She has seen Tisch performances and said they were amazing.

Does anyone know when we will hear from NYU? I wasn’t sure if a date had been announced. Last year it was March 28th.

Has anyone else heard from past NYU Tisch accepted students that they were notified by dance dept a week earlier than the university? Read several dancers saying this on a thread in a forum…however the thread was dated back to 2016/2017 so am curious if this policy has changed since then?? I guess I thought you heard from both Tisch and the univ in the same notification?
