<p>Hi all!</p>
<p>I phoned and got my studio placement-- I'm in Strasberg! This was my first choice so I'm overjoyed. </p>
<p>Anyone else in Strasberg in the fall?</p>
<p>cadget,
I'm no expert on CAP. What I've heard from my son is that the students he has heard of who seek a different experience do so because they want to take advantage of more intensive acting training in other studios. I think there's just only so much learning you can squeeze into 4 years. Our dedicated passionate children want to learn it all and preferably now. Many (I don't know the #) students opt to switch studios after 2 years to get the broadest of experiences.</p>
<p>september,
CONGRATS!</p>
<p>cadget,
OOPs Just read my post. Not saying many CAP students switch studios. Just that many Tisch students switch to different studios after 2 years.</p>
<p>I know this is the musical theatre tisch thread, but I felt that I would get more responses on here than on that arts major thread. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with the Meisner Extension; I'm very interested in this studio, but I want to know more about the studio beyond what it says on the NYU website. I tried looking for blogs, but most of them were by CAP21 students,film students, and had no information about Meisner. Thanks in advance!!</p>
<p>thesire72102,</p>
<p>There is a Tisch site on LiveJournal that is really helpful. I have found the students are quite responsive to questions posted there, especially about the studios.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>Thank you for the link; I have to get a new livejournal screen name..mine expired a long time ago...thank you, again..</p>
<p>I was wondering something about studio assignments... I have just been accepted to Tisch and at my audition, said I wanted CAP21 first and foremost but pressed for a second, the Strasberg studio. Since I'm in, it's safe to assume that it will be one or the other, right? Is there anyone here who knows of people getting into studios they didn't ask for at all?</p>
<p>deegee, not necessarily. There's never any guarantee that you'll get into the studio you want, unless you say Cap or nothing, and then you're admitted, then you'll get Cap. I know kids who said Cap or Atlantic and got put in PH, so yes it does happen. The only way you're guaranteed a studio is like I said if you say Cap or nothing.</p>
<p>Deegee,</p>
<p>I have found that Tisch is really careful about where they place their students. As you might have noticed at your audition, they took time to talk to you about your studio choice and why you wanted a particular studio. The placement is about putting you where your interest, ability and background best match. They have done this for years, and from what I have observed from my daughter and her friends, they know what they are doing!</p>
<p>While in the beginning you may question their decision, you will soon discover that you will not only learn but "thrive" at your studio placement. Congratulations!!! You are, certainly, very lucky and are in for one of the most exciting experiences of your life!</p>
<p>Thanks matth and klri for the advice! This forum is so ridiculously useful :D</p>
<p>I'm sure Tisch will make the best decision. To be honest, I think all the studios look equally amazing... And yes, at the audition they told us they had a knack for picking the right studios for the right people. So I guess I will just wait as patiently as I can!</p>
<p>wooo got my studio assignment today...CAP 21...not suprising since i said cap or nothing...but still awesome to see Collaborative Arts Project 21 on a letter of placement</p>
<p>My D got her studio placement today - CAP 21 !!</p>

<p>Strasberg has been amazing first semester. I'm not sure if you noticed that was my post from last year, but if you have any questions at all about the studio (I know I had a ton!), I'd be happy to answer them. Feel free to PM me, I rarely use IM!</p>
<p>Also, congratulations! You're going to have a fantastic time. I know a few second-choice-after-CAP people that now say they would rather be at Strasberg (we have singing and dance classes, too), maybe you'll be one of them?</p>
