I was accepted into NYU:Tisch in the Meisner Studio for acting. However I wanted to do music theatre. Although I do love theatre music is something I definitely want to do. I was accepted into the Musical Theatre programs for both Webster and AMDA L.A. I was accepted as a vocal performance major for Berklee College of music. I received scholarships from all of the schools with NYU being the largest (in proportion to total cost of attendance). I know that the acting training at Tisch will be phenomenal but I am finding it hard to justify committing to such a huge financial committment when I will be in a program (it’s mandatory) for two years in which i will only be doing a fraction of what I truly love to do. I would just choose Berklee but if I attend there I cannot pursue a double major (which i believe is a smart thing to do because of the uncertainty that goes along with a performance degree). I am running out of time to decide. I was able to get the enrollment deposit deferred but the housing deposit for all of these schools is due the first of June. no exceptions. I have been debating this for months and considering all the options, I am at a complete loss.
