I have a thread on Tisch applications and admissions essays that you can find here: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/new-york-university/1846841-a-letter-of-encouragement-to-tisch-applicants.html
I agree with @classlena that your essay is heavy on praise for the school and light on (completely void of) reasons that you are a great match for the school. However, since applications are past due, there isn’t much you can do about that. Regardless, it’s very well written. I’m sure your portfolio will give you the push you need to get in. Good luck!
