<p>Thanks to all for the info on visiting Tisch. My D (also a hs junior) is <em>very</em> interested in Tisch/CAP21 (and has been for about five years … someone even bought her an NYU tee shirt for a birthday a few years ago! :)) and we plan to try to visit in the spring. One thing I find puzzling, however, is (as soozie tells us) prospective students in performing arts are <em>not</em> permitted to sit in/observe most of the performing arts classes, which (frankly!) are the classes that most prospective musical theater students would be most interested in seeing. (I realize that even the MTers who matriculate at Tisch want good liberal arts classes, but sitting in on an English class, however interesting! won’t tell them much about everyday life in the acting, voice, etc. classes.) I have been in touch with at least three other very prestigious MT college programs and each one said it would be no problem for my D to sit in on a variety of performance classes; all we had to do was let them know in advance which she had chosen. Soozievt, anyone else, have you any idea why they do it this way? Thanks in advance.</p>
