<p>You can opt for SAT or ACT, whichever you prefer. You can see NYU’s testing policy online.</p>
<p>In case of SAT at NYU one can send either SAT-I with 2 SAT-IIs OR just 3 SAT-IIs.</p>
<p>Also in post 19 I meant SAT and ACT not AP.</p>
<p>Alright, I’ll look it up, thanks :D</p>
<p>Also, I’m considering both USC and NYU, but I’m sure both of them require SAT and TOEFL. I’ll check out more about USC on their website, and if I have any doubts I’ll post in that forum. </p>
<p>Thanks for all the help guys, helped me tons. :)</p>
<p>LeDon,</p>
<p>Please read Post #11 on this thread with the link to standardized tests. The standardized test requirements for NYU (including Tisch) are provided in that link.</p>
<p>“In case of SAT at NYU one can send either SAT-I with 2 SAT-IIs OR just 3 SAT-IIs.” - THIS WAS THE OLD TEST REQUIREMENT POLICY! </p>
<p>This statement from anialways does not apply to you. She was referring to the older policy on standardized tests. Again, read Post #11 with the link for the updated test requirement policy for NYU applicants.</p>
<p>Oh okay, thanks! I think I’ll go with the SAT reasoning test, is that the one with Math and English?
Also, exactly how tough are these tests, what kind of time should I spend on preparations?</p>
<p>Also, The SAT reasoning test, the one with Math and English, I assume, is enough for both USC and NYU, yes?</p>
<p>Yes, it appears USC requires the SAT I (reasoning tests) OR ACT (with OPTIONAL Writing component). Note: NYU REQUIRES the Writing component when taking the ACT.</p>
<p>Here is the USC link for standardized test requirements:</p>
<p>[FAQs</a> - USC Undergraduate Admission](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/faq/admission_standards.html]FAQs”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/faq/admission_standards.html)</p>
<p>You can buy books on SAT I and ACT preparation. Maybe there are classes that prepare you for the tests in India metro centers. You really should look at the practice tests and do a few to see how you do. Preparation, along with Practice, Practice, and Practice, are very, very important.</p>
<p>Practice that is the key, I absolutely agree with evolving on that.</p>
<p>Also LeDoniv remember you being from CBSE depending on your stream SAT should be quite a breeze if you have been doing well at middle and high school level. Also the SAT prep books by Princeton and Kaplan are of great help. Go through the instructions thoroughly and then do the practice papers and time yourself and about 4-8 practice papers should do the trick.</p>
<p>I definitely will be practicing. Is it alright if I take the SAT after my finals? </p>
<p>I did get a 9 on my 10th Public Exams, and I do really good in school regarding Maths and English. O’ll get those books that you mentioned, thanks :D</p>
<p>LeDoniv, I can’t advise about which school is better for film/theater arts, but I can give you some of my insights. My D is a CAS student, but she is very artsy and has befriended several Tisch students of whom are her best friends. They filmed a short film at my house, 2 students were from California and 1 from Washington State. That should tell you something. They came all the way from Cal to NYC to attend NYU. Secondly, one of her friends just completed a year abroad, England and France. While in England she had a BBC internship. That is just a WOW factor and will look fantastic on her resume. Her strong suite is film and camera work. Last summer she stayed in the city and had a job working for a film production person. Another friend of hers that she is now sharing an apartment with, is doing some animation work for a woman in the field. So these kids are getting all kinds of work, while still students and they aren’t even internships. Seems like some good networking IMO. That is just to illustrate the little I know of TISCH and some of the possibilities.
My daughter does tell me that the TISCH students are a very cohesive bunch, more so than any of the other schools. They work together on everything. Go to film viewings, of which my D has attended, work in teams and pretty much stick together.</p>
<p>And that is yet another case I read about Tisch being better. I heard that USC always has that network of alumnis acting as a brotherhood, but I don’t really know about that. Tisch seems as if I could get all the networking support I need from the fact that I learnt at Tisch, not depending on whether the people specifically choose TISCH graduates.</p>
<p>I’m still undecided, as there is a somewhat considerable amount of fees at NYU, but both are expensive.
There’s also the fact that USC has an actual campus. But I hear NYC is a better area to live in.</p>
<p>Cost will be a factor. NYU is expensive. But I think you may get more than what you pay for. As I said, I can’t speak for USC. A lot of things to consider.</p>
<p>In terms of a career and connections you mean? I have heard that Tisch has an outstanding reputation among employers and people. So, I just might end up at NYU.</p>
