hi, I’m a rising high school senior and I’m planning on taking these classes senior year. I really want to get into the NYU Tisch Film program Early Decision but I’m worried that my classes are not diverse enough. Should I be a taking more history or science classes or do these seem ok? How important is taking a language class for a fourth year to NYU? Thanks.
My classes:
AP Literature and Composition
Community Service
Playwriting
Honors Creative & Expository Writing
AP AB Calculus
Honors Media Literacy in the Information Age
Television and Video Production
taking a language 4th year for NYU is preferred but not required. How is community service a class? I would definitely consider adding a language and or a science course so it doesn’t look like you are slacking.
Sure your interests lie with film,but in the end those courses are not as rigorous as core classes and are just electives.
Hello, thanks for the advice! As far as I’m aware, my school counts Community Service as a history class, but I’m sure colleges wouldn’t since it isn’t actually a history course. It’s a class where you go out and do an internship during class time, such as working with kids at the elementary school or at the senior center.
If I were to add a science course I’d probably have to drop one of my current classes since I’ve filled all of the allotted spaces the school provided for classes. Unfortunately, my school doesn’t offer many honors level science courses, so I’d probably be dropping an honors class (media literacy, most likely) for a non-honors science class. Do you think it’s better for a class to be honors level or have more of a diversity of classes? Thanks again!
Imo i think the science course will look better. Ik your applying to tisch, but having only 3 years of History, Language and Science won’t be acceptable in my eyes.
