<p>I have been researching the NYU website non stop but I can't figure out some things. For example, If I get accepted to CAS can I minor in Musical Theater in Tisch or Steinhardt? Also if I get accepted to Gallatin is there independent studies strictly Academic or can you add classes from Steinhardt or Tisch to your studies?</p>
<p>I know that getting accepted is going to be hard since my gpa is a 3.5 uw and 4.2 w, but will ED help me out with this? I have over 100 hours of community service hours and I am ranked third in my district as a Soloist for the Broadway genre. I am 1st generation to go to college and Hispanic, does this even help?. I am hoping to raise my SATs to a 2000 and my ACT to a 29-30. Also I didn't know I could sing since my mom never encouraged me or acknowledged my singing. I never met my real dad who is a singer and I'm guessing my mom never said anything about my singing because she felt resentment towards him. This is why I have no other experience thus far, besides this year. Would this deteriorate my chances?</p>
