well, it’s true that the audition counts as much as the academic profile – but that also means that the academic profile is weighted as much as the audition. So, a great audition cannot outweigh weak academics. I believe that academically you will be compared vis a vis other Tisch students, but don’t assume that is not a competitive pool. Many students turn down schools – including Ivies – that are more selective than NYU for the chance to attend Tisch. So, if you pass both reviews (academic and artistic), I believe the next step is that the admissions committee decides who to admit from those who passed both reviews.

Also, your SATs should be in the ballpark for NYU. And, if the Naviance for your school tells you that no one with your stats ever gets in to NYU, that would be a sign that you have an uphill battle. If it’s more of a mixed record, then by all means feel good, as it means you have a shot!

You are better off using Naviance as your barometer than any GPA someone on this forum will give you, because the colleges look at your record in the context of your high school, and recognize that GPAs are computed differently at schools and expectations vary: an A at one school might only be a B at another.

good luck to you! My D LOVES Tisch Drama!!
