<p>At first I had considered USC. I like how its a larger school and it offers a variety of things for students. I also like how its close to home, I had also looked into their Drama program. While researching potential career paths, I’m focusing on schools in NY and LA. Preferably where I would like to be. NYU was kind of the first thing I ran into and continued research, finding out its top 10 for Drama. I like NYU for one of the same reasons I like USC. The classes are smaller than typical schools and you get way more attention from the teacher which I love. I like building a strong bond with my teachers and in the long run it helps me. I should also mention in my academics the main two classes pulling my GPA down are sciences and spanish. I’ve consistently gotten straight A’s in math and history. </p>
<p>Now while I am currently interested in multiple subjects, I would like to settle on one. I like the idea of putting all my energy into a single thing. Now I’m sure it won’t hurt me to continue taking Art next year but I’ll be picking up Drama again and I plan on talking with my parents sometime this week to even begin lessons at a local acting academy to gain much more experience. For BA and BFA, both are good options. One I can do more while the other focus on one. Do you guys have any recommendations of other schools similar with BA and BFA? Preferably located in LA or NYC. I read something about PACE which confused me as it was part of the New School but not at a different university. Is the New Schools Drama program still good? </p>
<p>And yes toowonderful, I’ve explored many options. The ones listed in my previous post is where I narrowed it down. My parents don’t mind at all applying to multiple colleges and having a rather large list. So I’ll keep architecture in my focus while also applying to a drama school. To further answer you question, I also like how NYU has multiple studios. I like how that is organized as it decreases class size and gives you more 1 on 1 with the teacher. I also like how NYU is a good school and has good connections with their alumni. USC similarly had great connections. Now while I had revolved my post around Tisch, I really am open and hope to find more colleges. I don’t want to apply to one and as I do research, I am still continuing to learn about Tisch. My grades in Freshman year I know were similar to what I had now in sophomore with roughly a 3.6. Sophomore honestly was a bad year for me, with family matters. Hopefully I would have the chance to talk about that with any school. </p>
<p>In all, I need to raise my grades and get some more experience which is understandable. From Tisch related discussions on here, users had mentioned in all that the audition is what really decides your entry on the drama portion. While having the experience looks good it really helps me than decide my entry. I’ll definitely work on that. Now would you also agree that schools look at what classes are offered at your school and then judge your schedules? I had talked with many people who had worked at USC during the summer program and all confirmed that since my school doesn’t offer a lot of AP classes that that won’t hurt me. As long as I take whats offered to my full potential?</p>
<p>Soozievt, since their average GPA is roughly 3.7 some students had to be below for that to average it out that way. Hopefully I’m not too incredibly low to not even be considered. Would you agree or should I consider looking at some other schools? With the new school I’m at currently I plan on getting straight A’s this year. I have one B in AP Bio and a B in English. I do not plan on that finalizing at the end of the year. What else would you suggest is good to adding to my resume to help me? I hear NYU loves leadership related traits. I’ve been a member of NYLC since 4th grade of which I pride myself on. Attending multiple leadership programs over the course of my summers. Hopefully this would be of some use that other students don’t have on their resume? </p>
