<p>I did see that super-accomplishment paragraph too, but when I spoke with the Tisch admissions person on the phone, they said that they foresee the vast majority of Tisch applicants as NOT falling into that category. </p>
<p>Here is an excerpt of the FAQ section:</p>
<p>“You have said that students with “extraordinary accomplishment outside of normal classroom or scholastic activity,” need only submit two Subject Test or AP scores instead of three. How do I know if I qualify? Do I need to submit something to provide evidence of my “extraordinary accomplishment?”
To be honest, we expect that very few students will be in this category. And to be sure, we DO NOT want students to submit CD’s of artistic performances, papers or research findings, or portfolios of art work, etc. We anticipate that your extraordinary accomplishment will essentially speak for itself, and we neither expect nor require the submission of additional materials. Instead, you may address this issue in the “Additional Information” section of your application, or ask your guidance counselor to refer to it in his or her recommendation. Once again, our best recommendation is to submit all of your scores and let us decide whether we will use two scores or three scores as our basis of admission.”</p>
