<p>I AM:
Indonesian, studying in Singapore
Full IB Student
Grade 9-10 in Jakarta; Grade 11-12 in Singapore
Planning on applying Early Decision II
Still confused on what to take, TISCH STERN OR GALLATIN. I really love Acting, yet I love Business too. And I was wondering if I can take courses of business and theatre studies/acting itself in Gallatin. I want to work in a business in relation to the arts, entertainment, media, and theatre in the future....or even an actress. Any advice?</p>
<p>My first choice is actually Acting - Performing Arts in Tisch, but another half of me want to go for the business program in Stern. I REALLY need tips and advices whether I should go to Tisch or Stern. I'm actually really looking forward for applying to Tisch, but then again... Stern is kinda there. Stern has such a good business program, especially the International Business which I'd love to be a part of. Tisch, on the other hand, is just amazing in the performing arts and I've been acting since I was 10. </p>
<p>NYU surprisingly just changed their Standardized Testing requirements and I am more than happy right now. To be eligible for admission, applicants are expected to submit results from one of the following testing options:</p>
<p>The SAT Reasoning Test; or
The ACT (with Writing Test); or
Three SAT Subject Test scores; or
Three AP exam scores; or
The International Baccalaureate Diploma; or
Three IB higher-level exam scores (if you are not an IB Diploma candidate); or
Students may instead elect to submit results from a nationally accredited exam that is considered locally to signify the completion of secondary education and is administered independently of the students school.</p>
<hr>
<p>I've just emailed NYU recently and since I'm an IB student, they want me to just give in all my predicted scores instead of just 3 HLs. </p>
<p>Predicted IB Grades:
7 Business and Management HL
6 English A1 HL
4 Chemistry HL
7 Biology SL
6 Spanish ab initio SL
7 Mathematics SL</p>
<p>If TOK/EE/CAS is included it would be +3.
Total = 40/45</p>
