My sister (HS sophomore) recently got accepted to both the pre-college drama program at CMU and the NYU Tisch Summer Program (Atlantic Acting). CMU is 6 weeks, $11k. NYU is 4 weeks, $14k. Money isn’t a huge deal though. Her dream school is NYU. We live approximately equidistant from both campuses. I think right now she wants an Acting BFA but is open to change. She wants something rigorous but fun at the same time — ideally something that’ll also help for college apps.
Pros/cons of each program? I’m not too familiar with drama but I’ll show responses to my sister. Needs to decide by Friday. Any experience with either program is appreciated. Thanks!
