To Chanelissy:
The academic requirements for Tisch are general NYU standard: 4 years of English, 3 Math, Science, Social Studies/History (although I think 4 of each is recommended), and 3 years of foreign language is also recommended. NYU Tisch (or any of the arts majors in Steinhardt) does not require two SAT II Subject Tests; that is replaced by the audition.

http://ddw.tisch.nyu.edu/object/ugddwportfolio.html: This link will take you to the portfolio requirements for Dramatic Writing. But, ultimately, your GPA and SATs should be competitive with other schools in NYU (well, maybe not Stern competitive, haha, but definitely CAS) to not worry at all about the academic portion, preferably 3.6 GPA and around 1900 and up SAT composite, or like 27 up ACT, something like that. Your audition will count for 50% of the acceptance, roughly, and academics will count for about 50%. You MAY be able to get by with less than average GPA (nothing under 3.0, though), but you better have a magnificent portfolio/audition. So, what I'm trying to tell you is that academic slackers don't stand a chance of making it into Tisch, even with a phenomenal portfolio/audition.
