<p>You have until Jan. 1 to submit the application to NYU. Your audition has to be on one of their audition dates either in NYC or in other cities where they audition. But you should line up the audition now if any dates are still available (people have been making their appointments ever since the appointment making procedure opened up on Oct. 1). You don’t need to file an application just to line up the audition appointment (the audition appointment should be made NOW) but you just have to file your application by Jan. 1. </p>
<p>In my opinion, having read your other thread on the MT Forum concerning prestigious colleges, etc…NYU/Tisch or NYU/Steinhardt may not be the best fit for you. You wrote about wanting to continue doing MT in college, but not for a career. I can’t tell if you know the difference between a BFA degree and a BA degree. All your other schools are BA degrees. Tisch is a BFA and Steinhardt is a BM, neither of which are like a BA. </p>
<p>While you say you want to double major in MT and math or science, at NYU this would NOT be like a double major at a regular college with a BA degree. For example, if you went to Yale, you could double major in theater and science. Each major would be approximately 30% of your coursework, as is the case for majors at most BA colleges. But at NYU, the MT major is a BFA or BM degree which means that approx. 65% of your coursework will be in MT. It will not be an “equally” balanced major with your math/science major which would be about 30% of your coursework (which also leaves barely any courses in anything else). A BFA or BM degree in MT is a huge commitment to a specialized degree program that constitutes a large chunk of your coursework and time (many more hours than BA coursework) at college and is most suited to those who want to focus primarily on MT and pursue work in the field after graduation. </p>
<p>In my view, based on what you wrote on the other thread, a college that has a BA degree in Theater where there are MT opportunities to take some voice and dance, and to be in musical productions, is more suited to your college goals (double major) and career goals (not MT), and to still being actively engaged in some courses and productions in MT. Yale, Brown, and Northwestern are three schools that come to mind in this regard.</p>
