<p>hmm.</p>
<p>so NYU is like my top choice college, but my parents don't support it..</p>
<p>how much are your parents supporting ur NYU tuition?</p>
<p>cuz if i go to NYU tisch film... then i will have to pay it out of my own pocket.... which is not a good idea, is it?</p>
<p>To Kwibbles:
If your daughter wanted to double major, it's completely fine. A lot of kids at Tisch pull it off just fine. You really can apply for a master's degree in just about anything, even with a BFA in Drama (except such things as medical school if you haven't completed pre-med requirements), but a lot of graduate schools probably would like to see some course work taken in the MA/MS subject. For me, getting a double major isn't really a "backup" plan in the sense that I'm doing it just in case theatre doesn't work out. For me, it's in order to explore another area that I'm really passionate about and at the same time be confident in applying to the master's program after I graduate. Because I can get basically free tuition and room and board with the master's degree that I want to pursue, I feel that it's more useful to go for my master's and audition than wait tables and audition my first years out of undergrad. But that's just my reasoning, anyway...everyone has their own path. But yes, if your daughter wants to double major, then she should...but if she doesn't want to make the time commitment/take away at least a semester of studio training, then maybe she should just minor, which a LOT of students do since it's so easy. Hope that helps!</p>
<p>To coolrena:
I am...poor. Like, really poor haha. NYU gave me a financial aid package which consisted of massive scholarships/grants, or otherwise I would be somewhere else. As much as I love NYU, I refused to go into huge debt for college, especially since there were other really good schools that were offering close to full tuition/room and board. But, you said that you're going to be paying tuition out of your own pocket? That's a huge burden to have on your own...over $38K a year (not including room and board). The most I can tell you is that you should tell your parents how wonderful the Film and TV program is, how extremely competitive it is, etc. Wait until you get your financial aid package and then talk about it with your parents. Ultimately, if you want to go to NYU that badly, you might be taking out ridiculous amounts of loans which definitely could be worth it for you. Good luck hon! And congrats on getting into NYU/Tisch!</p>
<p>Hi! I have a question about Stage Mnagement. I read on your earlier posts that all of the programs are pretty crazy hard to get into. But what can you tell me about the stage managemnet at Tisch. Is it a good program? i´m alos looking at Marymount Manhttan and Eugene Lang the New School. Do you have any friends that went through the portfolio and know what the school is really looking for??</p>
<p>Thank you NYUMom and Nocca Junior. NYUMom: Do I understand that you have a child in Tisch getting a BA (not a BFA), or do you mean both a BFA and BA? I thought Tisch only granted BFA degrees.
And Nocca Junior, I think doing a minor makes a lot of sense, and also your reasoning that you'd rather go to graduate school and audition than wait tables and audition. One question: when you say lose a semester of studio training, what do you mean? Is the studio training an elective you give up to take classes at Arts and Science?
It's beginning to make sense now....</p>
<p>I have posted this on other threads but no one seems to know. Is it hard to get into Goddard? (from the website I kind of got that vibe)</p>
<p>To KK18:
I don't think that NYU has a stage management concentration. The closest things that you will get to it, however, are the Tech Track and Playwrights Horizons, both studios in the Department of Drama. The Tech Track is the sole studio that focuses exclusively on the production part of theatre, and obviously would include stage management training. Playwrights Horizons combines everything--the study of acting, directing, and design and everything else--and they would also have classes in stage management. All drama freshmen have to take Introduction to Theatre Production, and I'm currently in the Stage Management special seminar (which Playwrights Horizons and Tech Track students cannot take because they already get this training at their own studios...Tech Track students can take it but it's a special class only for them). I have a friend that is currently in the Tech Track but I haven't asked him anything about his portfolio or anything, but clearly they want someone knowledgeable and experienced in theatre production, especially for Tech Track. For more information on portfolio/audition requirements, visit the NYU Tisch website, under the Department of Drama.</p>
<p>To Kwibbles:
All of senior year for Drama students (if they have completed 4 semesters of Primary Studio and 2 semesters of Advanced Studio) are electives/liberal arts requirements. So, drama students can opt to take another two semesters of advanced studio, can take one semester of studio and one semester of sole academics, or a full academic year. So yes, in the senior year, you can give up studio training at your own pace to take electives to complete a double major at the College of Arts and Science. I plan to take a semester off from studio for study abroad.</p>
<p>To Simply:
Ummm....I'm not sure either haha. But I really think if you submit your application and take it seriously, you'll be fine. It's not like most freshmen are clambering for Goddard, although it's really perfect for some.</p>
<p>kwibbles,
The Tisch Cinema Studies program offers a BA degree.</p>
<p>Okay, so I know this is probably unthinkable, but does anyone know if there are transfers out of Tisch? Like kids who realize they're on the wrong path? Does anyone ever try to transfer into CAS? I realize it's probably a formal transfer application, like for everyone else.</p>
<p>And does Tisch provide any opportunities for kids from the school to meet each other socially? I realize it's not a traditional "campus," where there are dances and other kinds of activities for freshmen, but other than the dorms (and btw, are there such things at the dorms?) does Tisch ever try to get that "warm and fuzzy" feeling? (I know this sounds dorky since these are kids are in a professional-level program but I'm just concerned about her feeling lost in the big bad city.)</p>
<p>Just a quick question, about how many people get accepted into the Film and Television program for NYU each year?</p>
<p>I know USC's SCA accepts about 45 students yearly and Chapman accepts 100 yearly (for their film production program), so I was wondering if NYU maintains a prestige like that as well.</p>
<p>To Kwibbles:
Yes, there are some students who realize that Tisch and a career in the arts is not for them and they switch from Tisch to CAS. I know two personally--one was a drama major and then transferred between first and second semester, the other was a dance major that is switching to CAS in the fall. I'm not sure about the drama major, but the dance major got all of the financial aid he started out with in the beginning of the year--meaning it's going to transfer over to next year once he starts at CAS. I don't think the transfer is too difficult--it's the other way around that's hard.</p>
<p>There are events on campus for Tisch students. In fact, there's events on campus all the time. You just have to find and search for the ones you like. There's ALWAYS something going on at NYU. There's so many opportunities to meet people, there's just the opening up part that you have to do.</p>
<p>To Danyo:
I'm not really sure how many applicants are accepted to the Film and Television program at Tisch, but I've really heard from a LOT of people that NYU is second only to USC for Film and Television. And it is very hard to get into.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info NOCCA Junior!</p>
<p>Thanks NOCCA Junior - your answers are always very helpful!</p>
<p>j/w, can u transfer from tisch into stern? actually, can u transfer from tisch into w/e NYU school u want?</p>
<p>Well, the easiest transfers from Tisch would definitely be CAS, Steinhardt, and possibly Gallatin. Tisch to Stern would be difficult, just because in general it's difficult to transfer into Stern because they accept less than NYU's average acceptance rate (the same goes for Tisch, actually). You can transfer from Tisch into whatever school you want, but just know that it's going to be more and more difficult to fulfill major requirements if you want too long, aka after sophomore year. Hope that helps!</p>
<p>Hi NOCCA Junior. I'm a freshman in high school right now and I'm starting to look for potential colleges. My absolute top choice is the Dramatic Writing program at Tisch, and I was wondering what I should be doing to prepare to apply a few years from now. I have about a 3.7 GPA and am taking mostly gifted and AP prep courses and a theatre class. I'm also heavily involved with the theatre productions at my school and have written several original plays (and a musical) and I'm currently working on writing my first screenplay. I haven't taken the SAT or ACT yet, but I've taken the PSAT a couple times now and scored the same as an average junior as a seventh grader. My big problem is I have no other after school activities besides theatre and technical service crew and have no time for any other activities considering that my aforementioned pastimes are heavily time consuming and I still have my classes to keep up with. I am aware that Tisch appreciates various after school involvement, so will this hurt me in the long run? And is there anything else I should be doing right now in preparation for applying for a possible summer dramatic writing course and the actual school itself in the future? Thanks! :)</p>
<p>Well, I for one completely understand how theatre rehearsals can literally take over the little life you have left after classes in high school. I didn't really participate in anything else except theatre rehearsals and productions...I was part of the National Honor Society and Spanish Honor Society, but we didn't really do anything too taxing...my life was literally school and theatre rehearsal. So keep on doing what you're doing...getting experience, stuff like that, and you're fine. Tisch would rather see your solid commitment to one or two activities than see you spread yourself thin amongst a bunch of meaningless activities. Just continue to keep your grades up and SAT scores, because they do really matter at Tisch. Good luck!</p>
<p>That's really good to know. Thank you!</p>
<p>huge question</p>
<p>Since I was actually accepted to the Cinema Studies of College of Arts and Science instead of the Tisch School of Art (because I began the application process too late and didn't have time for doing the portfolio, which means I will take the same film courses as with Tisch students, but other curriculum will be different from theirs), I have no idea how this will work out - will film students of CAS have less opportunity, in terms of internships and such, then film students of Tisch? What's the greatest difference?</p>
<p>Oh, and besides, how's the film program at Northwestern? I was also accepted there, so...</p>
<p>I really really appreciate your help!</p>
<p>I think that the greatest difference between the CAS and Tisch film majors is the curriculum...whereas CAS studies cinema from a more historical/analytical perspective, the Tisch students generally get more into the "artistic" side of cinema studies, whatever that means...you'd know better than I would haha. Since the Tisch and CAS students share a common basic curriculum, I don't see why you shouldn't have the same opportunities as the Tisch students. It's really about having initiative--going to the Tisch building, going to the resources in CAS, seeing what's available to you. If I can ask my Cinema Studies friend about more specifics (he's acting really weird right now ehhh...) I'll let you know.</p>
<p>I have no idea how the film world views Northwestern...but I do know that their School of Communication is top notch. The Theatre program there was my second-ish choice after NYU. You'd be getting a very highly ranked and prestigious university in the context of a wonderful arts program.</p>
<p>I'm sorry I couldn't help you out as much as the others, but I'll try to find out more today and let you know as soon as I can.</p>
<p>Hey NOCCA Junior,
Any idea when the studio assignments go out? Asaka and I are waiting.....</p>
