How to get into Tisch?

<p>zkinafamous – you asked for an honest assessment. My honest assessment is that you are not asking the right question. Before you worry about trying to get into a BFA program, you need to ask yourself is an intensive acting program with long hours of voice, movement, scene study, stage combat, acting technique, etc. what you want to do in college. Based on your limited participation in anything like what a BFA program is about, I’m not sure how you can answer that question. Do you live near NY? Could you take a summer program at a place like Stella Alder or Atlantic (both of which by the way are places at which NYU kids get trained as part of the Tisch program) to gain an understanding of what BFA training is about? College is very expensive and acting jobs are very difficult to get. Its a huge investment of money and time committment. You need to be really sure. </p>

<p>What I glean from your post is that you have a well rounded academic background with a streak of artistic interests. Unless you are really sure you are all in for a BFA training environment, a BA program might be a much better option where you can expore a drama major that is not all consuming. If it turns out it really hits your passion, you can later pursue additional training either outside of the BA program or at an MFA. </p>
