NYU TISCH OR STERN CHANCES! (IMPORTANT!!, Need of help!)

<p>I AM:
Indonesian, studying in Singapore
Full IB Student
Grade 9-10 in Jakarta; Grade 11-12 in Singapore
Planning on applying Early Decision II</p>

<p>My first choice is actually Acting - Performing Arts in Tisch, but another half of me want to go for the business program in Stern. I REALLY need tips and advices whether I should go to Tisch or Stern. I'm actually really looking forward for applying to Tisch, but then again... Stern is kinda there. Stern has such a good business program, especially the International Business which I'd love to be a part of. Tisch, on the other hand, is just amazing in the performing arts and I've been acting since I was 10. </p>

<p>NYU surprisingly just changed their Standardized Testing requirements and I am more than happy right now. To be eligible for admission, applicants are expected to submit results from one of the following testing options:</p>

<p>The SAT Reasoning Test; or
The ACT (with Writing Test); or
Three SAT Subject Test scores; or
Three AP exam scores; or
The International Baccalaureate Diploma; or
Three IB higher-level exam scores (if you are not an IB Diploma candidate); or
Students may instead elect to submit results from a nationally accredited exam that is considered locally to signify the completion of secondary education and is administered independently of the student’s school.</p>

<hr>

<p>I've just emailed NYU recently and since I'm an IB student, they want me to just give in all my predicted scores instead of just 3 HLs. </p>

<p>Predicted IB Grades:
7 Business and Management HL
6 English A1 HL
4 Chemistry HL
7 Biology SL
6 Spanish ab initio SL
7 Mathematics SL</p>

<p>If TOK/EE/CAS is included it would be +3.
Total = 40/45</p>

<p>If you're wondering why I didn't put SATs, it's cos I don't need it :)
Oh and for Tisch, yes I know what to do for auditions. Thanks again!</p>

<p>PRETTY PLEASE, I NEED TIPS AND ADVICES.</p>

<p>Have you checked cost and financial aid? If you cannot afford full list price, then it is likely out of reach if you are an international student; even for US students, NYU has a reputation of giving insufficient financial aid.</p>

<p>I can afford the full list price. So chances? Help :confused: IN SHORT OF TIMEEE</p>
