- Hi! I wanted to make this video to help anyone with the college audition process, specifically for NYU! When I was preparing to audition, I wished I had more information on the BFA college audition process, so I wanted to share my experience auditioning for the school I will be attending!
I would love to make an entire video describing my overall college audition experiences and tips, so let me know if you're interested in seeing that!
Also, please feel free to reach out to me and ask any questions you have on the college audition process and musical theatre auditions in general!
Look out for more videos on auditions, NYU, and being a musical theatre actress in NYC! Looking forward to talking soon! :)

I need all the help I can get! If you could upload a video specifically about how long you have been singing and dancing, and what songs and monologues you did I would be truly honored!
Love this video! I'm so glad you're helping others perform better for their auditions!! I'm going to be attending NYU Steinhardt's musical theatre program this year and it is my dream school/program and my audition went well but I didn't think I would get into my dream school. So when I saw that I had been accepted in March, I cried because I was so happy!! I then went to my dad and told him "I think I got into NYU" and he was like "think?" I relate so much because I couldn't believe that I had actually got in!
When you were talking about the one minute monologues it took me right back to middle school! That's exactly what was asked for my middle school audition for theatre and i got in i was over the moon! Nyu tisch was my dream school since I was 7! The video helped so much thanks for the tips!

Thank you so much! My biggest dream is to get into NYU for musical theater. I’m a ballet dancer, but I have recently been getting very into musical theater. This was incredibly helpful!!!
If you're applying soon I have tons of videos on my channel about applying to college musical theatre programs that will be helpful!
Madison Halla Yes. I am applying for fall of 2021. I’ll definitely check out your videos. Thanks!

Please make more videos, this year I'm going to start my senior year of high school and NYU is my dream school and my high school theater program is extremely competitive. I need to get in
Congrats! You got this! I definitely have many videos planned! Just train and believe in yourself, but also trust that you will end up where you are meant to go! And also know that attending your dream school is so possible (but also isn't everything!) Whatever happens is meant to happen! Sending lots of love, break legs!
did you get in?
Thank you for making this!
Thank you so much for watching! :) look out for another video on the college audition process super soon!
This is so helpful thank you so much! I’m going to be auditioning this upcoming year and I feel so lost in the process.
Thank you so much for the support! Makes me so happy. Break legs at your auditions! :)
Best of luck! I have tons of videos on my channel about applying to college musical theatre programs that you should find helpful!
Hi! This video was really helpful as I am applying to Tisch Drama for Musical Theatre. Could you do a video or could I talk to you about how you chose your audition pieces?
Piper Allen Hi! So happy I would help, please reach out if you have any more questions! And yes of course, that's the plan to upload a few more videos on the process in the next few weeks! They will be up soon!
do you know if GPA and test scores are considered in the admissions process? because my test scores are fine and my grades aren’t bad but they aren’t super strong either so is that going to put me at a disadvantage?
ily ur the cutest I’m a FAN
Adore you!! TH-cam sisters! Can't wait to train all day every day!
hi! what other schools did you get accepted too?
what did you sing for auditions?
Id love to see more videos especially like the interview and workshop stuff you said! :)) Do u happen to know if the process is different for ED kids?
Great! I can definitely post an in depth video on audition interviews as well as workshopping your pieces in the audition room! A video all about college auditions will be going up next week and I talk all about each step in the audition so that should also be helpful, so look out for that! :) In regards to the ED process, nothing else is different other than it will most likely be one of your first auditions since they ask you to audition around Nov, and you find out much earlier, around December, in comparison with regular decision that find out in Feb/March/April! Thanks for your support!
Meital Z THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I'm a current senior and i'm just really nervous about auditions and there aren't many good videos describing the specifics over auditons ya know? like some just say "yes there's an interview and your done" but your videos are literally what i'm looking for!!! thank you!! u gained a sub :)
Awh you're so sweet! Yes, I totally get it, I was feeling the exact same way and that's why I wanted to make my channel and help!! Don't be nervous, it is such a fun time to show yourself and meet people and have a great time! Everything works out! Break a leg with all of your auditions and feel free to ask any more questions! :)
Were you able to find out what studio you got into before you submitted your deposit/decision?
NYU has been my dream school ever sense i could remember but I'm so scared for my SAT because I'm horrible at test
Natalie Brito girl, sameee
If you're auditioning soon I have videos on my channel about applying to college musical theatre programs that you should find helpful! Best of luck!!
uughhh me too, i got an 850 on my psats and they require 1350 and above AHHH im gonna diee
Could you share your GPA and SAT score and AP classes?
also ive never done ballet
This is my dream school for my dream major!! Auditioning this year let's GET IT! :) congrats girl hope to see you next year!! #VioletPride
Nick Jones Yay! This makes me so happy! Thanks! You can DO IT!! Break legs and have fun :)
did you get in? :)
@@user-oq6ol5fi2w nah I was waitlisted for the musical theatre program :/ I go to Ithaca now!
@@nickjones6843 ithaca is incredible! hope you're liking it
hi!!! how do u pay for tuition? did they give you scholarship money?
heyy, I know this was 2 years ago but I have this huge question. The musical theatre program is for undergraduates or only graduates? :”) also how was the tuition?
Did you submit a reel?
hey thank you for this video! could you please share your process of preparing your songs and monologues? how do you know if you're good enough to even try?
Yana Howell thank you for your support! Yes! I actually will have a video go up about the entire college audition process from preparing pieces to being in the audition room, so look out for that really soon! And always believe in yourself, if you love musical theatre more than anything and know that you want to study it, then nothing can stop you! Also know that getting a college degree in Musical Theatre does not guarantee yourself jobs, many people I know succeed just by auditioning. Have fun and believe in yourself! Wishing you all the best!
Meital Z you're the kindest thank you so much
I've heard that NYU is 50/50 talent and grades. What exactly are the academic standards, though? My sophmore/junior GPA is a 3.7/4.0, but I absolutely bombed my freshman year grades so my cumulative GPA is a 3.3. And my ACT is a 29, which is fine but im not sure its NYU standards. I took a lot of hard classes so I don't know if that makes a difference. Do I even have a chance at all acadmeiclly speaking?
I know NYU Tisch is very hard to get into. What did an average high school gpa look like when it comes to acceptance? Or do they look more at your abilities?
Hi! So they have told us that they evaluate us with our audition of course but factor in our grades/academics pretty heavily in comparison to other theatre programs. I don't know an average GPA exactly, but I know most people around me got good grades in high school! They want you to be concerned about academics as they are a top research university and we all are interested in outside academics as well!
If you're auditioning soon I have videos on my channel about applying to college musical theatre programs that you should find helpful!
Just a quick question, what type of things did you have to have on your resume to apply for this school? Btw amazing video! So happy you got in, congrats!
Awh thank you so much! I just put my previous theatre, music, acting, and dance experience on my resume! But know that it does not matter at all how many you list! Your previous "experience" does not matter, as long as you show them your talents and passion at the audition. I also added any academic awards/accomplishments I have since NYU values academics as well. Let me know if you have any more questions at all! :)
Thank you so much for replying!
How many schools accepted you?
Hi I was just wondering what were the 22 schools besides NYU and which ones were you accepted into?
Ashley Valent Hi! I'm filming a whole video on my entire musical theatre college audition process and I will talk about all the schools I auditioned for! Feel free to reach out with any other questions you have :)
How exactly does studio placement work? When are you notified where you get placed? Is it after you have already commit to the school?
I was notified 2 weeks after I was accepted but now you do not find out until you commit I believe, because apparently they could not gather interested students and ensure the numbers until they have committed to the school.
Do they offer complete scholarships for international students?
I believe so but I would look into that, I am not sure!
THIS IS MY DREAM OHMYGOD IM SO JEALOUS
If you're applying soon I have tons of videos on my channel about applying to college audition programs that will be helpful!
this is my dream school but i don’t think i could ever get in :’((
Believe in yourself, you can do it! And also wherever you end up is where you're meant to be! Remember that! :)
you never know! focus on the positive and do your best throughout the audition season! You never know what will happen! If you're applying soon I have lots of videos on my channel about applying to college musical theatre programs that you might find helpful!
hi, i have a question, what other schools did you audition for? and i live in mexico, do you know how could i apply
If you're interested in studying musical theatre in the USA I would look to see if some schools in the US have auditions in Mexico and then I would also see if for some schools you're able to do the audition solely online (with prescreens). And I have tons of videos on my channel about applying to college musical theatre programs that you might find helpful!
Hey! Im a girl who lives in New Zealand, any chance I could get in? NYU is my dream college
I would say of course! People from all over the world go to NYU! And if you're applying soon I have tons of videos on my channel about applying to college audition programs that will be helpful!
Did you have to submit prescreens before going to the unified auditions?
It depends on the school, most schools that have a prescreen require you to pass them in order to have a Unified audition. NYU Tisch musical theatre doesn't have a prescreen but NYU Steinhardt musical theatre does have a prescreen.
I have a video that you might find helpful on Unifieds and I also have tons of other videos on my channel about applying to college musical theatre programs. Best of luck!!

Do you think you need to have strong dance skills or be a dancer to get in? Or is it more about having the potential and being stronger on other points(singing or acting)?
Hi! I would say that it is totally all about potential and if you are willing, able, and enthusiastic to learn/take direction, even if you are not the strongest dancer! Hope this helps! Break legs :)
Meital Z thank u soooo much! It does a lot! Xx
hey whyd you decide to do new york and la unifieds like how did you afford that and whyd you decide to do that like arent there the same schools at both places
Lin Trash Hi! I chose to do both NY and LA Unifieds because there were so many schools I wanted to audition for as well as many walk in opportunities that I wanted to have, and you can only fit so many auditions in a day! Although almost all schools do both NY and LA Unifieds, I just didn't have enough time to fit all my auditions in two days. Some days I did 5-6 auditions, and some even more. But some take auditions may take longer because of a long dance call, waiting, etc, so plan in advance what schools you want to audition for in order to make sure you comfortably fit your auditions into the day! And make sure to make time to relax and eat because you get busy quickly! Hope that helped!
okay thats awesome thanks! how far in advance did you know that youd have to go to both to fit everything in? my familys j trying to plan how we will afford all the auditions, etc, so do you think going to two unifieds was cheaper overall than going to one unifieds and then some on site auditions? ive heard that they sometimes like you to go to on site auditions more, because it shows your enthusiasm, but im just not sure we'll have enough money for me to be traveling or flying to that many different places. i just wasnt sure what you thought, any opinions help and you definitely seem like you know what youre talking about :) so just thought id ask! thank you!
I just got into NYU for vocal performance!! What schools did you audition for and get into??
OMG! I did too! Are you attending?
Do you dorm ? I live in New Jersey, but not sure if I should dorm for college.
moexsims hi yes I do dorm! And almost everyone dorm, it would be extremely difficult to commute!
I’m confused. Is there a BFA in musical theater or is it inside the drama BFA?
It is a BFA in Musical Theatre since I am training in MT all 4 years but overall it is under the Drama BFA (kind of confusing) because it is the Musical Theatre studio under Tisch Drama!
Seems like two of the key things they are looking for in the interview are a.) that musical theater is a passion for you, not just "something fun that you're interested in;" and b.) your eagerness to grow - in other words, you recognize that you have much to learn and will be highly receptive to training and critique. Would you agree?
I would agree! They want to work with people for the next four years that are passionate that want to learn and grow! And If you're applying soon I have tons of videos on my channel about applying to college musical theatre programs that will be helpful!
Madison Halla Thx. Yes, I was already following your channel before CC deleted your posts. Not applying for a few years yet.
@@rvashko Well best of luck!!!
have you been attending to vocal lessons or sth? I am a dancer like you and I dream about musical theatre but I haven't taken like professional vocal training so please tell my if I have a chance in this case at all :)
Of course, you still have a chance! I would recommend taking voice lessons if you're able to pay for them because you will be able to learn a lot of techniques and grow as a performer. If you can't take lessons there are tons of videos made by vocal coaches on TH-cam and you can learn from them. And If you're applying soon I have tons of videos on applying to musical theatre colleges, best of luck!
Do they need your SAT and ACT scores??
I believe they have an option to not submit test scores, but I did submit mine! Break legs!
Thank you for making this! Could I dm you a little more about it?
Hi! My pleasure, thanks for watching! Yes please do, would love to answer any questions! I will also be posting another video super soon about the overall college audition process along with Unifieds experiences, etc, so look forward to that as well!
How big are the NYU dorms?
They all differ in size! I'd suggest looking them up based on if you're a freshman/upperclassman! In my opinion they are greatly sized, especially for being in NYC!
Hey) Please, Could you tell me, which universities you have had auditioned for?:) it’s very important to me❤️
Hi! I auditioned for many; if you go to my "All About College Auditions" video, I believe I mention some of them! I auditioned for around 22 schools that I was excited about, so make sure that you can see yourself going to the schools you're auditioning for and that you also keep your options open! Break legs!!
If you're applying to college musical theatre programs soon I have tons of videos on my channel on how to do that that you might find helpful!
I LIVE IN LONG BEACH I DIDNT ONOW THEY DID UNIFIED THERE
Yes! I assume they still do!
Can you speak to the rigorous quality of BFA programs? When I think rigorous I think hours of hard work, little recognition, and little to no opportunity for enjoying the art form (from past experience). Am I dead wrong, or was that a sacrifice you wanted to make for the quality of the program? Is it a friendly environment? If I wanted a program that treated me kindly and channeled my skills to make me a better performer should I be looking for a BA program instead?
This is such a great, thoughtful question that I am so glad you asked! In terms of the rigorous aspect, BFA programs, especially mine, are made to push us in many varying concepts and last all day long. A studio day for me is typically around 8:30am-6:15pm with smaller breaks. Not going to lie the schedule is difficult and demanding, but to me, incredibly worth it. NSB really is a friendly, supportive environment to me. It all depends on what a person feels they need! I found that I thrive being this busy and focused on my training. I have found from talking to students in other acting studios/programs that being a musical theatre major specifically is especially challenging due to the variety in training in all three concepts plus many other additional skills/classes. However, I feel that the "rigorous" aspect of the program does not take away my love and appreciation for my art; of course some days it is hard because it can pile up and feel like work, but I found I have to make a conscious effort to remind myself to be present and enjoy the moment, feeling gratitude for every second I get to live my dream! My program and professors actually care so much for me and our small class sizes give us great individualistic attention! I was looking for a BFA curriculum when applying, because I felt BA programs were more general, and taught you more about aspects of the business and rather than building you up as a performer to enter the business right from the beginning. However, with BA programs you get flexibility and definitely more time to take other classes, pursue different things, etc. Tisch Drama luckily allows us to value our academics and pursue double majors or minors for other subjects we are interested in. Overall, I'd say research and talk to people about their day to day in BA and BFA programs and see what you feel you need in a learning environment! Hope this helped!
This is my absolute dream. A part of my family is from New York and I‘ve been there so many times and saw so many broadway shows. I live in Germany and I‘ve been dancing from when I was 4-11. I‘m 15 now and I‘ve been doing musical theatre since 6 years ago now in an extra musical theatre school where I have voice, acting and dance lessons every week and we do several shows every year. I‘m just scared that I have less of a chance to get into NYU Tisch just because I‘m from and I live in Germany. I‘m fluent in English but there‘s like 1% of an accent. What do you guys think? Do I have a chance eventhough I‘m not from the US and I don‘t live there?
Greetings from Germany and stay healthy everyone ❤️
PS: Am I the only one who always starts crying while watching these videos just because it‘s such a big dream?
Nooo your not! I also cry 😂I still think you have the chance! Nyu is very diverse and you have as much of a chance as anybody!
That is so cool! NYU is such an incredible school and I got emotional thinking about getting in because I never thought it would happen but crazy things did happen! I would keep dancing and when you start applying in a few years I have tons of videos on my channel about applying so best of luck!
