<p>ummm... why wouldnt you get in? besides ACT score, thats the only foible i spot. just out of curiousity, what school are you applying to? tisch?</p>
<p>I plan on applying to CAS, and either double majoring with Music and English or Majoring in Music and minoring in English. But you honestly think my chances are that good? I just feel really confused about the whole thing because there alot of people that are saying NYU and other competetive schools are a reach solely based on my Act Score. Im jut hoping schools take everything into account and notice all I have to offer.</p>
<p>Any other Imput would be greatly appreciated guys.</p>
<p>I don't think CAS offers music, only Steinhardt and Tisch. But, I could be wrong. If that's the case, you'd have a hard time double majoring because it's extremely difficult to find programs that allow you to double major outside of its school.</p>
<p>As far as your chances, I think you have a good shot. Just raise your ACT score and you're in for sure.</p>
<p>Double check this, but I believe NYU will not even look at your music CD. They do not want any supplemental material sent to them. If you apply for a music performance program, it's a different story. Then you would have to follow the steps leading up to a music audition. I believe that there is a BA degree in CAS in music, but it is not performance-based. Steinhardt offers a BM degree (you must audition) and Tisch offers BFA degrees (also by audtion.) Unfortunately at NYU, you will be competing with many talented musicians and actors. A lot of all-state finalists with scores of 100. Your music background would be a better hook at schools without this level of competition and without performance-based programs.</p>
