I was accepted to tisch for film & tv!!
For future applicants:
I got the FA change on 4/21 and then the students tab and housing portal appeared on my albert on 4/22. i was able to access bursar through my albert account through the housing tab as well. i also was able to log into orgsync and sign up for clubs. just maybe an hour ago i got the transfer credit report. i believe these changes are definitely indicative of acceptance because in past threads almost everyone who had them (including myself) were accepted.
Here are my stats:
- College: University of Pittsburgh
- College GPA: 3.0
- I was at Pitt for only one semester so I only had 12 credits. I took calculus ©, statistics (B+), and intro to film (A)
- High school GPA: 3.7 UW (not sure what it was weighted but I took 11 honors classes and no APs)
- SAT: 1960/2400
- I had 2 letters of recommendation, one from my film professor and one from my advisor.
- My portfolio and essays were definitely the strongest part of my application. For future Tisch applicants, I did a short story for my creative submission rather than a short film or screenplay.
- As for demographic info, I’m a white female from a family who earns over 150k per year. Two of my step siblings graduated from NYU so I am technically a legacy.
Here are a few of my extracurriculars (not all of them)
- I was in the drama department for all 4 years of high school
- I have a successful youtube channel with over 55,000 subscribers
- I was involved in the resident student association as a floor representative while at Pitt
- I had lots of volunteer hours, both in college and in high school
- I was secretary of volunteer club and member of costume committee in the drama department
I hope this helps future applicants and congratulations everyone else who got in!!
