What are my chances of NYU Tisch High School Summer Program?

<p>Hello! I just applied to the NYU Tisch High School Summer Musical Theater Program, and I was wondering what the acceptance rates are? How much do they look at transcripts, resume, recommendations, etc? I'm in incoming Junior so I would be going in between my sophomore and junior year. Any idea what they are looking for or what they consider? And whats the general acceptance rate??</p>

<p>Some info about me:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.86 (at elite private school)</p>

<p>Resume: 10+ professional theater shows, 8 years of dance/acting training, 6 years of theater in new york, 4 school shows, 3 years of voice</p>

<p>Recommenders: English teacher and voice teacher (who has been on Broadway and has students at Tisch)</p>

<p>Thanks!!!!</p>

<p>I think you look great! I applied to the summer program as well, except I want to go for film. </p>

<p>From what I’ve read, they accept approximately 40% of the applicants. (Their website says that about 500 people apply every year and 188 are chosen.) </p>

<p>Also, unfortunately you have a lower chance of getting in because you’re a sophomore because I hear they give insane priority to juniors going into senior year. :/</p>

<p>Wow. That’s all I can say regarding your credentials…wow.
Also: I think you have a good chance.</p>

<p>Perks34: I applied to the film program too as a sophomore, 3.7 GPA
I hope I am going ! and good luck to both of you!</p>

<p>i applied for film this summer also as a junior, 4.4 gpa. i dont think you sophomores should count yourselves out! im sure that if they see something they like, they wont hesitate to let you in regardless of your age! i hope you all make it</p>

<p>Thanks! Im way too anxious for April to come soon enough for the results of admissions.</p>

<p>and about the 500 kids who apply,
I read the same thing but whent they sent me the brochure, it said over 600 kids apply.
I guess the numbers have been increasing, and does anyone know exactly why they extended the deadline to the 16th of February? Was it because of some problems with online rec. sumbissions?</p>

<p>I think that there were so many issues with the online application and a lot of people had complained about not being able to submit. I mean they sent me an email by mistake saying that my application was incomplete, and then called me and told me about all of the issues with the technology…</p>

<p>Im wondering if maybe all the issues will decrease the number of applicants… I applied for the acting program. did anyone else??</p>

<p>Also about the 5-600 who apply, how many do you think applied for the Dublin and Paris programs? They sound wonderful but too steep for me:/</p>

<p>I feel like the price of those programs, plus that they are so far away likely affected how many people applied. I bet it’s a lot less. Did you apply for NY or abroad? yeah theyre crazy expensive!</p>

<p>I applied for New York with the scholarship app.</p>

<p>Yeah, I was considering applying for Dublin or even Singapore for film, which they announced once I was finishing up my essay, but I figured they’d look alot more into your app when your applying abroad. It sounds definitely awesome but definitely more selective.
What’s strange is that the singapore program was the only one that did NOT say preference is given to juniors, and referred the the students as sophomores AND juniors. Still the programs really new and I didn’t have much info on it and I already had and still set my mind on the nyc program.
Good luck to everybody in April!</p>

<p>did anyone else apply to any other summer programs?</p>

<p>Has anyone heard anything from them yet about admissions to the program? I know its still early, just curious…</p>

<p>yep today,
waitlisted though and hoping they have an open spot in a week</p>

<p>i got in for Dublin, but I applied for New York. My parents are bugging out because of it. Does anybody know anything about the Dublin program?</p>

<p>Waitlisted.</p>

<p>Do ppl actually get rejected?</p>

<p>I just got accepted to the New Studio Summer Acting Program! I’m so excited! Has anyone else got accepted to this program? Lemme know! </p>

<p>And congrats to all those who got in as well and waitlisted is just as well!</p>

<p>i heard today! i got into film!</p>

<p>Waitlisted too:/</p>
