<p>At NYU’s Tisch, you get placed in one of 8 studios, only 1 of which (CAP21) is MT. But we’ve been told there’s plenty of cross-pollenization and students not in CAP21 can audition for musicals (after freshman year, of course). Also, in your junior year you can switch studios, so get into CAP21 that way. My D had CAP21 as her first choice, but was placed in Strasberg. (She’s ecstatic about that, btw.) She was told that Strasberg is the “next best thing” to CAP21 for MT, and in fact singing and dance are part of the curriculum in Strasberg.</p>
