Admission to the Tisch School of the Arts is highly selective. We carefully evaluate each applicant based on a number of factors: academic record, standardized test scores, creative materials, recommendations, extracurricular involvement and an essay. In addition, an artistic review is required for admission to all Tisch programs. Each department has its own specifications for review. Please visit the Audition/Portfolio page for your department's requirements.
Competitive applicants to the Tisch School of the Arts have done well academically, in addition to demonstrating potential in his/her chosen field. Also, participation in meaningful school and community activities is an important factor, and given the University's unique offerings and its urban environment, we look for evidence of character and maturity in potential students. Every applicant will be taken into account individually and given fullest consideration.
