From what I have heard, Tisch is later than the other schools in the process due to them reviewing both application AND audition (or a portfolio, whatever is relevant to you) and NYU had a higher yield than normal years. The likelihood of the only school they’re accepting students off of is photography (from what we know) is very very slim. Hold out hope, but I would say with this new post from the Admissions Director, maybe only a handful will get taken off.
@kmacrna - looks like studio assignments haven’t been released yet so mmmaybe that’s hopeful for the drama waitlist? I think they would need to handle studio assignments before deciding WL but I am no expert.
@CaMom13 - I agree that would make sense…still hope 
Even though the majority of waitlist slots have been offered (350-450) but I am sure few more will open up in the coming weeks
Not everyone offered admission off the waitlist accepts
Also Tisch is very expensive many don’t like the aid package
Many other waitlists like UCLA, Berkley, Boston, Emerson, U of M and even Harvard is active
I know it’s tough now but I am still hopeful
Tisch only sent few offers to the waitlist, I’m not sure if the capacity is full. I just really hope I can get in.
Wait, TISCH Drama sent out offers to people who were waitlisted?
Not Tisch Drama (to our knowledge). Some for photography and IMA
I think a lot of the comments here are confusing others, as this is the Tisch Drama forum, not other Tisch departments.
FYI to Tisch Drama WLers - Studio Assignments for accepted students just came out today. I don’t know what impact (if any) that has on the Drama WL.
