<p>Has anybody here heard of getting accepted to a BFA program and deferring a year? Can you keep a scholarship if you do that? I've had a situation come up in my family and I'm going to need to stay close to home next year. I don't know what I'm going to do. :(</p>

<p>Yes I have heard of students doing that. We did keep that very same thing in the back of our mind when my son was applying.</p>
<p>I hope everything will work out for you and your family. If you would like someone to talk to or have questions please feel free to email me. We had some family issues too my son's senior year.</p>
<p>WCT,
Thanks. That's good to know. I so need to talk to my teacher, but he's out of town. So much going through my head right now ... I might just stay home and do the local BA program and try for an MFA later. I could go for free and finish in five semesters, probably perform a lot in and out of school, and do summer training intensives. I dunno ... Like I said ... so much going through my head right now. I feel selfish for even thinking about college. Some things are just more important.</p>
<p>thesbohemian-
my friend got accepted into NYU's B.M. for musical theater at Steinhardt and deferred for a year to go on a national tour. she then got transferred to Bway and was able to defer another year. I know the situations are different, but point is that in extreme circumstances, I think colleges sometimes can understand and make exceptions for deferrals. hope everything works out.</p>
<p>Thesbo - Hang in there hon. I love you. <3</p>
<p>Thesbo, just wanted you to know that prayers are going up for you and your family.</p>
<p>Thesbohemian, I hope whatever happened works out for you. Your posts have helped me pick schools I am intereted in and I still laugh all the time about the "20 blonde ingenues." Best wishes.

<p>Thesbo--
I'm sending positive energy your way. Your great insights have helped me through this journey. I know whatever you decide, it will be the best decision for you. I also believe that it will all work out because you have drive, intellect, and a good soul.</p>
<p>Thanks, everyone. The only thing that stays the same is everything changes is going to have to become my new motto. I dont want to talk about what happened on here, but I am withdrawing from school and going ahead and applying for my diploma. I have a lot of things to take care of and can finish my AP classes by independent study. Im also going ahead with my auditions though Im now in the process of changing as many as I can to on-campus dates. The road trips will do me good.</p>
<p>Thesbo--
Please keep us posted on how you are doing. You are very special and I want to know how everything turns out.</p>
<p>I know that this may be a little bit off topic, however I'm thinking about possible majors and I was really considering film studies as I would like to become a director/producer or something of that sort. I would just like to know if any of you know anything about how that major really is; what are its requirements and information of that sort…. also, I cant find a place that shows the top colleges in this major...does any one have any suggestions? And lastly is the Tisch school of the arts only graduate studies, or is it undergrad ? and if it is undergrad I really don't understand how admissions to it work, do you apply to Tisch directly or to nyu or what exactly and does one declare a major right away or what? thanks a lot for your time</p>
<p>When applying to Tisch you must first apply to NYU. Then, you'll probably need to copmlete a little extra for the major you want to pursue at Tisch - and audition, portfolio, etc. And Tisch is Undergrad, as well.</p>
<p>Here's the undergrad page - <a href="http://undergraduate.tisch.nyu.edu/page/home.html%5B/url%5D">http://undergraduate.tisch.nyu.edu/page/home.html</a></p>
<p>And this page has all the additional requirements - <a href="http://undergraduate.tisch.nyu.edu/page/audition%5B/url%5D">http://undergraduate.tisch.nyu.edu/page/audition</a></p>
<p>how good do the portfolio things have to be in order to get accepted, i mean are they looking for creativity or well written stuff o r what?</p>
<p>do you think i should write nyu and ask them for like a more detailed explanation of what they r looking for? they probably wont even reply though</p>
<p>elodie,
I don't know about film studies, but I've received a nice, well-thought-out replies every time I've contacted a theatre faculty member with specific questions. The thing to do is look closely at the faculty bios and find the right person to ask. If they aren't the right person, they'll usually forward the question to somebody who is. Just make sure your questions are specific and won't require a dissertation to answer. Also, make sure you thank them for their time. I've been amazed at just how generous some of these busy people are with their time toward prospective students.</p>
<p>I have six monologues prepared for my auditions - serious and comic classical, serious and comic contemporary, "against type" classical, and "tastefully sexy" contemporary. All of them show something different. Most of my schools only require two. Some want one classical and one contemporary and others only want to see contemporary. After performing the initial two monologues (and my song), some schools will likely ask for a third monologue. In that situation, will it be best to tell the auditors which others I have ready and let them take their pick based on what they want to see or just be decisive and go with my gut on what I THINK they want to see?</p>
<p>If they ask for another monologue, ask them what sort of thing they'd like to hear, and if they say, "What have you got?" then tell them what you have. The fact that you have so many monologues prepared is impressive all by itself. Who knows? Somebody may want to hear all of them. (Better be prepared to do all of them.)</p>
<p>Glad to see you back. Hope things are better.</p>
<p>thesbo -- I hope the sek-say monologue is the one I think it is. You rock my socks and I MISS YOU!!! <3</p>
<p>Doctorjohn,
ALL OF THEM?! (or How to Turn Thesbo Into a Wet Rag) I guess that'd be a good sign, but ... meow. Above I mentioned faculty people who are amazingly, wonderfully generous with their time and you absolutely rock the top of that list. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>Notarebel,
It's the TASTEFUL one. ;) Miss you, too, m'sweet. MUAH! Check your IMs.</p>
