<p>Bondgirl, no, a majority who apply to Tisch are not trying to get into CAP21. I think roughly half of the Tisch BFA candidates have CAP21 as their first choice studio. MANY who apply to Tisch are ONLY interested in Acting. Many who apply, even if interested in MT, want to study in an acting studio. And some who apply are happy to take ANY studio. </p>
<p>The acceptance rates into the acting studios is a little higher than for CAP21. So, yes, it is a little “easier” but still highly competitive. But I venture to say that most Acting programs have a little higher acceptance rate that most BFA in MT Programs (with a few exceptions of the tippy top acting programs).</p>
