General Comments, scholarship decisions, are you going to NYU? If so, why? If not, why not?: Depends on Financial aid/scholarships I receive. I need a lot, though! I really want to go there, though! Also, depends on if I’m accepted into the musical theatre or acting studio (should know in April 1st packet).
