<p>You may not be getting responses because your question is unclear. Are you looking for students who have transferred to Tisch to talk to about their experiences as transfer students? Are you asking if you stand a chance? </p>
<p>If you are within the admitted student academic range for transfer students there is no reason why you would not have a shot at Tisch as a transfer student. As you know you would need to be admitted academically and artistically. If you are not admitted to NYU/ Tisch you will not know whether it was one area, the other, or both that kept you from being admitted. </p>
<p>Students are admitted to Tisch as transfer students each year. I do not know how many more years of college you would need to commit to Tisch, but it would likely extend your college to at least five years (two at UMBC, three at Tisch), possibly six years (all four years at Tisch). I am sure SoozeVT or a Tisch transfer student would be able to give you and idea. </p>
<p>Are finances an issue for you? UMBC is very reasonable for both in-state and out of state students… 2009/ 2010 in-state Tuition/ Room/ Board = $17,922; OOS Tuition/ Room/ Board = $27,263. NYU is a private university and is not known for generous financial aid. 2010/2011 Tuition alone = $41,782. When you add in the cost of room and board the costs = $53,000 to 63,000. Not including fees (for either UMBC or NYU). </p>
<p>You also could make the choice to complete UMBC for undergrad… possibly applying to do the Spring at Tisch program – [Acting:</a> Tisch School of the Arts at NYU](<a href=“Special Programs”>Special Programs) or study abroad for a semester through your university or another program. You could always apply to Tisch for graduate school. Their MFA Acting program is one of the top in the US. </p>
<p>It cannot hurt to apply and audition to transfer and see what happens. Only you and your family can assess whether it is a wise/ do-able financial decision to transfer to Tisch. But, you will not have a decision to make unless you give it a try :).</p>
