<p>I’m applying to Tisch, but I also want to dual major at CAS. My interests are equally divided between filmmaking and philosophy.</p>
<p>I wrote my essay with this in mind, explaining how I view filmmaking and philosophy as interconnected endeavors. But my concern is that, since I have to apply to just Tisch, the adcoms will take this as reflecting indecisiveness.</p>
<p>I contacted a Tisch guidance councilor, and she said, “You can definitely talk about both interests in your application. This will not have an adverse effect on how your application is viewed.”</p>
<p>But I’m still a little nervous.</p>
<p>The essay structure will link a childhood experience to the value of knowledge. This will progress into my discovery of philosophy in college. Next, I link philosophy with film and discuss how the latter interest began to take hold. Finally, I mention how NYU is a rare school where I can pursue both fields to full potential, and discuss philosophy and filmmaking faculty at NYU and why I want to study under them. </p>
<p>What do you guys think?</p>
