SAT are the devil incarnate — Page 2

The ACT science section killed me. Usually I'm decent in science, but the time limit really ruined my chances at a presentable score. Bill, do you mean applications for college for Fall '05?

PJ :: Nope. I totally agree with you, but they want to see that you've directed at least 3 shows. I don't think they come out and say that directly. If I'm not mistaken, the actual application requests you present a book of notes and directions for a production of your choice, right? I talked to a couple of friends of mine who've graduated from NYU recently and they told me that NYU Admissions for Directing are EXTREMELY hard ass and you won't get in unless you've actually directed.

luvtheemcee :: Yes. I meant applications for Fall '05. I guessed on ALL of the science section. I kid you not. I was intimidated by the time. Sweating bullets. So I Christmas Tree'd it.

On their web site and all the mailers I've gotten from them, they've all said to have sketches or directing notes for a production you would someday like to direct. I think if it were a necessity that you would have directed a show to apply for their UG program, it would be stated seeing as how that's a really big deal. I'm not saying you're wrong, you could be right, but all the info I've gotten from Tisch has never said anything about that specific requirement.

Not to mention that Canada has Degrassi.
Major selling point, I'd say.

PJ, congrats.
You are one of my new favorite people.

...Spinner = Hot

It's possible it's not a necessity, but think about it. There are A LOT of kids applying for that program. A LOT of them go to big Drama schools that support the Arts and those kids have had the oppurtunity to direct shows because of it. I'm sure you're just as creative as they are though. Just show it in your entrance essay and sketches.

Craig is THE man on Degrassi...
However, Sean is coming close to bumping Craig out of that number one slot.

Bill, applications for Fall of 2005 come around late this summer. You can apply online, which is what most schools say they prefer these days or you can have them mailed to you. The deadlines are usually mid-December to early January, unless you apply early decision. Then they're early November.

Yeah guys, a lot of times the essay topics are the same from year to year - so even if you haven't recieved your application yet, you can start writing. I spent eight weeks on my college essay. I'm not kidding you.... it was awful, putting myself through that.

Late Summer? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I was heading up for vacation July 9 to 16 and hoping to collect them then.

I think I'll be applying online. Thanks for the tip on why you should write those damn essays now. It'll save me some stress early in the new school year.

16 is more than legal in Canada!!
Another great reason why Canadians rule
