<p>There are TWO CAP21 summer pre-college programs. If you read many threads on the NYU/Tisch forum, BOTH programs are discussed here. But THIS thread you posted on is about the CAP21 program that is through NYU/Tisch (and that program has no audition). There is another pre-college MT Program through CAP21 that is NOT through NYU/Tisch and that one IS by audition. I believe YOU are discussing the program through CAP21 that has the audition which is not what this thread discusses. </p>
<p>Both programs are competitive. The one through NYU/Tisch, is harder to get into, I believe as they don’t take that many. It is like applying to college and academics, recommendations, essays, etc. all count but there is no audition. The program that is directly through CAP21 is primarily based on an audition. There are differences between the programs and all of this is discussed quite a bit on threads on this NYU/Tisch MT forum. For instance, CAP’s program is 6 weeks and NYU/Tisch/CAP’s program is four weeks. NYU’s program grants college credit and has a class that has homework and CAP21 just has the training classes. CAP21’s program doesn’t provide housing or supervision when not in the program and NYU/Tisch/CAP’s program does.</p>
<p>If you look at post #2 above in this thread, a link was provided to NYU/Tisch/CAP21’s summer program. </p>
<p>If you look at post #3 above in this thread, a link was provided to CAP21’s summer pre college program. </p>
<p>These are NOT the same programs. They have similarities but also differences. Their admissions are separate.</p>
