It’s funny but I was thinking the same thing basically about bdavis’ remark about not wanting Playwrights or ETW studio. I know it is likely difficult for him/her to truly understand the studios before attending NYU, but I can bet that his/her opinion on each studio will be different once at Tisch. From all whom I have known who did PH studio, they loved it. It is truly an excellent studio. Also, it is common for prospective students to say, “I don’t want ETW.” But once they are at Tisch, people start clamoring to get into ETW and it is difficult to get into what is called ETW “transfer track” by audition. Now, when my own kid applied to Tisch, she wanted CAP21 studio (she is in MT) and got it. If I recall, her second and third choices back then were Stella Adler and Playwrights. Now, if you asked me back then if she’d ever end up in ETW, I would have said, “no.” But lo and behold, after her seeing the amazing training and effects of that training on her peers who had done ETW (or ETW in Amsterdam), she auditioned for ETW transfer track and did her final three semesters in ETW, as did several of her friends who were in other studios like her. ETW is a very popular and well respected studio at Tisch for those who are already at Tisch but often prospective students don’t “get” that studio. But once they become familiar with it, many wish to get into it for advanced studio and can’t. So, to the OP, keep an open mind. I can’t begin to tell you how many kids LOVE both PH and ETW!!!
