Yes, there are exceptions of people who transfer after 1 year of primary studio, but they usually start at 1st year in their new studio. There are exceptions, but we had someone transfer from CAP to Adler after first year, from Strasberg to CAP after first year, I know someone who went from Playwrights to Meisner.
Important to note, these are EXCEPTIONS to the rule. So don't necessarily count on it happening after first year. After Primary Studio's 2 years, then transfer is much much more common.
And yes, I will be a Junior, and spending my first semester Junior year in Adler after I have finished Primary Studio at CAP. Planning on doing at least two more studios before I've finshed my time at NYU.
Another cool option for Studio credit, and this is just interesting as I think I will be doing it in the Spring, is internship for credit. These internships are at places like Saturday Night Live, Telsey + Co. Casting, Brooklyn Academy of Music, ABC etc. These internships take the place of your 8 studio credits (it rounds out to being 3 hours per credit hour, so you do 3 full days or 24 hours at your internship), and provide you with opportunities that no other school can offer. Now I'm tooting NYU's horn, oh well. School pride, I guess?
