Transferring from Gallatin to Tisch (Clive Davis)?

Hi,
I’m a sophomore in Gallatin and am trying to figure out a concentration. I’ve tried all kinds of classes in pursuit of finding something I’m really passionate about academically – from philosophy to marketing to nutrition (I know, large range, but that’s what freshman year is for!) – and I’ve realized I’m still most passionate about the performing arts. I know I want a creative career. I didn’t apply for a music program in the first place because of dire career prospects but I’m starting to think that maybe it’s time to start following my passion because I really can’t imagine what else I am going to do.
Anyway, does anyone know how an internal transfer into the Clive Davis program would work? If I got in, I would have already essentially “wasted” two years. Is it possible or worth it to switch into such a rigorous program, or am I better off just staying in Gallatin and maybe “recreating” a similar program using “regular” business/music/media classes?
