Sorry, but I am so excited for him. Even though we don't know what studio, he got into Tisch for drama! At this point- the studio doesn't matter because the opportunity to go to school in New York is just amazing! He has worked really hard all through high school and deserves this. I just hope finanical aid comes through! Thank you all for indulging me!

Cnongratulations, supportingmom, I love your screenname and I love this thread. You said your son worked hard for it and it's so nice to see it paid off. I just recently got accepted into a grad program and to hear the pride in my mom's voice when I told her was priceless for me, so I can only imagine how happy your son must be that you're so proud of him, congratulations to you both!

Thanks everyone! When I was in high school- I was obsessed with musicals but I didn't even get to Broadway until I was 41! My husband and I chaperoned a school trip to NY. Since then, my son has been to NY 3 more times and he's going back this summer with his sister to see 13 shows! Yes, I am seriously proud of him! He has been looking at colleges since he was in elementary school and he has obsessed over his grades throughout high school. He is # 3 in his class! He's also currently preparing for a production of The Laramie Project (which has been targeted by Rev. Phelps for a boycott). My dad was born in Brooklyn and raised in the Bronx. I think my son is my dad's mini-me. NYU is a perfect match for artistic kids who also pride themselves in academics. I actually see some excitement in my son and that makes me very happy. Thanks again for indulging me! Ray- congrats on grad school! I know your mom is very proud!

Wonderful news, and your pride is, as well!

"my son gets all the credit- he did all the work"

I'll go along with that, if you accept that your son is who he is at least partially because of your work
