<p>I’m glad the “leap of faith” paid off but that is a very expensive leap of faith. I suspect the reason it may be the right decision for NYU has a lot to do with the number of admitted students and the extent of the disruption. As far as I know, I can’t think of one small program that does not let admitted students visit. We just got a letter from the Dean at UNCSA inviting her to sit in on anything she wanted to see including rehearsal for shows. In his words. “It’s the best way for you to get an understanding of our training and decide if this is the right program for you.”</p>
