<p>I would like to transfer to NYU next year and am thinking about which school I should apply to. I would like to major in television production and/or American politics. After two years at Bowdoin College I'm planning on a 3.5 GPA and participation in several extracurricular activites including the student television station. I would like to take both course cross-registration and my admission chances into consideration in selecting the right NYU school. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Just curious: why are you leaving Bowdoin?</p>
<p>american politics would be college of arts and science (one of the easiest schools at NYU to get into) im not sure about television production .... i think maybe thats in Tisch??? (like film production) but thats extremely hard to get into.... unless you are very talented.</p>
<p>Any more thoughts on the relative acceptance chances at CAS vs. the Kanbar TV & film program at Tisch? I had a strong academic record at HS and will have worked on several television projects.</p>
<p>I'm also wondering if Tisch's Open Arts Curriculum is similar each semester or if there are changes in the number and types of television courses offered to students at CAS.</p>
<p>Ideally I would want to take classes in TV writing/production in addition to a few courses in politics and other subjects.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>By the way Insertnamehere, Bowdoin's is a little too isolated for me, and I'm not crazy about the course offerings.</p>
<p>i think the open arts curriculum is very limited. im interested in taking some dance classes at Tisch (im in CAS) and they only offered 2 dance classes and they are the same 2 every semester. im not sure if its the same for film classes.</p>
<p>Anyone else familiar with Tisch's Open Arts curriculum?</p>
<p>I'm also interested in my overall chances of getting into CAS -- after three semesters at Bowdoin I'll have a 3.5 GPA and have been involved in a few EC's. Went to a competitive high school, honors classes, A's and B's ... 1430 SAT, SAT II scores in 700's. Much music/community involvement.</p>
<p>As far as transfering, no matter what, NYU does not LOVE transfer students, and as far as gaining admission, each school is equally competative but each has different critera...College of Arts and Sciences, is strictly your academics, test scores, essay answers, how well you write, activities etc...
the admissions at Tisch and any art program including the Studio Art Major in Steinhardt, are more based on your creativity, artistic portfolio, talent, and then your academics, however both(regardless of what they tell you) have academic cut-offs...</p>
<p>I would suggest applying to Gallatin...The reason I say that, is because it seems to me you have two very diverse interests, and you want to try them both out and you really are not sure which one you want more. At Gallatin, you will be able to take classes at every school in NYU, and you will have a lot more flexibility in your education...You can even major in Political Television haha just kidding... but seriously, at Gallatin you can major in both Politics, and Television Production, or something eles that you create entirely by yourself. I suggest calling up Gallatin, telling them your situation, going on the website...READING about the Gallatin program and then applying.</p>
<p>Good Luck, you will be fine.</p>
<p>Gallatin is definitely something to think about. Some sort of production/politics course of study could be interesting. I also like the idea of incorporating internships into my education.</p>
<p>I want to maximize my chances of getting admitted to NYU in the first place though. Where does the 1430 SAT / 3.5 Bowdoin GPA put me relative to other transfer applicants to CAS and Gallatin respectively? I figure my considerable television production background could be more of a plus with Gallatin whereas CAS might put greater emphasis on my academic numbers?</p>
<p>I honestly believe you will be fine. I think your academic credentials are extremely comparable to NYU's standards. I really feel that Gallatin is the best choice for you, in terms of flexibility, but, make sure that it offers all tha you want, before hand. If you go on their web site, visit Gallatin during an information session date, and talk to current students and representatives, I think you will gain a better understanding.</p>
