Thanks, all. We’re going to take a family trip to NYC in the spring (COVID-19 situation permitting) and we’ll take a tour of Tisch, maybe also hit Pace and AMDA while we are there. Give her some exposure to what a MT school in a big city looks like.
Knowing my D, I suspect taking the tour of Tisch, and seeing where it’s located in proximity to Greenwich Village and Broadway (more specifically, the Broadway theater district), will only solidify her belief that this is the “one and only” school for her. Almost positive she would/will want to shoot for ED.
Fortunately, I will have plenty of time to talk her down from that mindset. And who knows? Maybe Tisch won’t call to her like she thought it would, and she’ll open herself up to the idea that other places might be a better fit.
I admit I am relieved that you all are not calling me out as “crazy helicopter-parent” for thinking about how to get all of our ducks in a row this early in the game. It’s only because I know the road is arduous that I want to start playing the “long game” in terms of preparation.
