| I am pretty sure it is for admitted undergrads. You can check with the school to be certain as I am not 100% certain. |

| About a week and a half ago I received a congratulations letter inviting me to a reception on April 5th. However, it is not called Saturday in the Square and it seems like it would be a little earlier than the Saturday in the Square reception usually is. Does anyone know if this is the same reception as Saturday in the Square? I am hoping that I know what studio I am placed in before the trip. Any thoughts would be much appreciated! | |

| ErWill, I believe it's the same thing. I think you are not the only one hoping to find out which studio before 4/5!! | |

| RSVP to Saturday in the Square event problematic for anyone else??
Just wondering if anyone else had this problem:
My D got her invitation to the April 5 accepted students' event and went online (as instructed) to RSVP. The online events thingie said that she would receive a confirmation # in an email, along with instructions, directions, and a schedule for the day.
Nothing has come yet via email and she RSVP'd a few days after getting the invite.
Being the overly conscientious person that I am, I wanted to make sure she was registered, so I have twice tried to call the number listed on the invitation. The first time, I got a voicemail message saying it was the Admissions Office and that someone from several different programs (including Steinhardt!) would return my call if I left a message. I didn't. I called again a few days later and got a different voicemail message giving instructions on applying to NYU and reminding people of the Jan. deadline for various forms. No option to leave a message was offered.
Perhaps the confirmation email will come this week. If not, I guess all we can do is plan to go ahead to the event and just show up, I guess.
If anyone has been to this event and can give us some idea what goes on, I would appreciate it. We are coming by train that a.m. and won't get into Penn Station until 8:45 and are going to have to rush to campus!!
All this said, my D is super excited about being accepted to Tisch and NYU and cannot wait to go to the event, see the campus, learn more about the program and so on. She has been dreaming of going to NYU since she was in the 7th grade and now it is close to reality!  | |

| NotMamaRose, I didn't receive a confirmation e-mail either, even though we rsvp'd the second we got the invite. I did reach someone in Admissions who gave me a confirmation number, so that's what we'll use if nothing else comes this week. I guess we'll see you there! | |

| MomsterofM, I would so appreciate it if you would. Not only did she not get the confirmation number, but no instructions. Plus, we thought more family was coming than is, so we registered more. | |

| Momster, muchas gracias for sending it along. I appreciate it. kwibbles, you know what? My D went back online and re registered and it went through and they sent her the confirmation #. It is past the deadline, but if I were you, I would log on and just do it again. | |

| Yeah, well, me neither! Hope we can all somehow meet each other, even if only briefly, at the event.
A ? about the event: will a tour be included, or will the kids get to see the dorms (an example, I mean) at least? | |

| No there are no tours at this event and you don't see the dorms.
I recall on our first visit to NYU, and going on the NYU general tour, they take you into a sample dorm room that nobody really lives in (and boy, it is so neat!). What I think you need to do is if you know any kids on campus, ask if they will show you inside the dorm. You can't enter any dorm without being a guest of someone who actual is present and signs you in. There is tight security. You could walk around and see where dorms are located. Also, the dorms vary a lot. What is good is to ask current students the differences and also there are online communities about NYU Housing with photos and posts, etc. My D had done an overnight in a dorm on the first visit with a friend she knew who was older from her camp. That was in Hayden but my D wanted apt. style housing and she lived freshman year in Third North. My D also likes Union Square which is a fun place to live and actually is closer to CAP21.
I'll add that at Sat. in the Square, one of the best parts is that current students are part of presentations, but also an informal reception after the formal stuff and this is a great opportunity to ask questions.....take advantage of that. Hang out at the reception and go up to current students with badges and ask away. | |

| My son and I just wrapped up a 3 day visit to Tisch including this year's version of Saturday in the Square. He had so much fun and we had so many great opportunities...HE LOVES NYU. Emails went out Friday with studio assignments and he is in Stella Adler as he thought...we got lucky and ended up meeting up with an old friend that is a casting director in New York and he teaches at Atlantic so we got to go watch a 3rd year group working on their monologues for showcase and that was great. Then we stood in line for standing room only tickets to Jersey Boys with a lady that did 2 year program at AMDA and now is working as a dancer (musical theatre) in the city. She gave him so much great info and did not recommend the AMDA route as she felt it better to come out with a degree and not just a 2 year conservatory training with no degree. She told him to go to NYU, if at all possible (as did the other industry people we met) because the "intangible" of being in the city and making the connections for the next four years was THE MOST IMPORTANT aspect for all of them. They said it gives a huge advantage four years from now when everyone else arrives in the city and has to acclimate, meet people, etc. and the kids who have gone to school in the city (no matter where) are already there, connected, no people, etc. Maybe disheartening to some, but the truth of the business "it does matter who you know and the contacts you make". Anyway...we found the trip really enlightning and had a great time. Hope everyone else did too. | |
