Some audition for MT ONLY (just CAP)
Others audition for MT and acting studios (with CAP 1st choice).
Others audition for one (or more) acting studios.
Others apply (but present portfolios, I believe) for tech.
Competition for MT is the #s previously provided (1000ish or more).
Competition for acting is the remainder (1500ish or more) + those MT applicants who did not get into CAP but selected acting as a 2nd choice.
My son, when applying, fully intended to ONLY audition for MT. However, as he was walking into his individual audition, he floored me by saying he had changed his mind. The presentation regarding acting studios had influenced him. I don't know whether he'll stay put in Playwrights or audition for another studio for his third year, but Tisch has just fit him to a T.
If your s's or d's end up somewhere where they are being challenged intellectually, personally, creatively, and are being inspired and supported, what else could you hope for? The #'s only matter to help you decide how many schools to apply to insure you find a good fit. |
