| Echoing AlwaysAMom....while Tisch has more kids in the program than several other selective MT programs, the size of the actual classes is quite similar to most of the other programs and the ratio of faculty to student is as well. The kids in CAP are broken up into sections for vocal and acting classes. They keep the same section (similarly sized to other programs) for several classes. The dance classes are broken into four levels for the freshmen alone. For ballet, jazz and tap, there are four leveled groups....there is placement into each level by discipline. This placement for dance as well as formation of sections for the other studio classes just happened. For example, my D said that in the highest tap class, there are LESS than 20 kids. I'll have to ask her the number in her section for the other classes but I believe it will be similar, and SURELY nothing like you were told by someone outside the program.
The difference is that the program itself as a whole is bigger, yes. The actual classes are not. There is obviously many more faculty in the program as well.
IHeartMT...I encourage you to visit the programs and talk directly to faculty and administrators and current students to get the accurate information before making any critical decisions about programs.
