Tisch Asia Interviews

[Dream of a Rarebit Fiend]

Hiya fellow dreamers!

I wanted to start a thread for those who are considering/interviewing for the Singapore program. I, myself, constantly go back and forth as to what I think of the program as well as what I think about shipping out to Singapore.
On the one hand I imagine that it would be a pretty fantastical, inspiring, experience and on the other hand, well, going all the way to Singapore for three years is a little terrifying; not to say that I am scared of living abroad, but, more to the point, I am a bit scared of that 100,000+ dept with the increase of plane tickets/taking a somewhat substantial risk as a second run, proverbial, "guinia pig".

So here are my questions (feel free to answer an to add to them!)

1) Are you choosing a phone interview vs video conference vs actually heading to Singapore?

2) As far as I am concerned: a MFA from Tisch Asia is still an MFA from the NYU film program. Do all of you feel the same way or disagree?

3) If given an offer to enroll in the Fall 2008 class would you accept?

Hey guys. Current Tisch-Asia student here, I remembered being in this place a year ago sweating and biting my nails and decided to pop in and say hello. I can see a lot of questions and a few misconceptions about the school here. If you'd like to ask me anything directly go for it and I'll be happy to answer, but unfortunately I'm a little too busy to go through every post in this thread one by one.

PS: I am an Animation and Digital Arts student, but its a very close knit community and I can answer pretty confidently on behalf of the other programs here without going into tiny details.

Hi Again,

I truly wish Tisch Asia would have block of apartments allocated to students to make the move transition a little easier - something to consider.

Anyone who gets in, planning on visiting soon?
I think ill try and visit toward the end of April.

Hello Prospective Students,

I'm a current student at Tisch Asia, and I'm just about to finish my first year here.

I also have a place I'm willing to sublet for the summer months, It's the closest place to the school itself. In fact, it's a 7 minute walk, you can actually see the building from my window.

If anyone's interested let me know.

Also, if anyone has any questions, just post here.

ap3083@nyu.edu.

Also, check out the work the second years have done...

@Ponmudi That wonderful. Seems like your decision is made, half the battle won. Congratulations!

Anything anyone? Calls, e-mails or mail? My anxiety is getting worse by the minute.

It's just about 9am in Singapore. Here's to hoping someone...anyone gets news tonight!

 

[Sassicash]

@Alract

Fingers crossed.

 

[Shalini]

Nothing yet. They are waiting for us to wither and die, and the ones who out-live the rest will get in. :'(

 

[Ponmudi]

@shalini .. Thanks...

Accepted today via email at Tisch Asia. Concentration in screenwriting.

 

[benifox]

Same Here. Accepted for playwriting.

 

[rosie1992]

accepted playwriting. SO excited.

 

[alract]

Congrats everybody! I'm in as well for screenwriting.

 

[TWS]

Congratulations! I'm accepted for playwriting.

 

[HZ]

Congrats everyone! I'm accepted for directing with money. Oh yeah!

 

[JKL]

Congrats everyone! I've also been accepted with the scholarship. While I've submitted my deposit to another school already, I'm still thinking about this offer... I've talked a lot with some Tisch-Asia faculty members, and last year, four students (maybe even five or six?) directed features--while they were still students! That's very appealing to me right now. Anyhow, Congrats! For those who haven't gotten in, don't lose hope--this is my second round as well, and there's no shame in trying again.

Hello All! New here, but I've just been accepted with Playwriting, with money! I've been looking for a way to start getting to know people who will be attending these courses with me in the fall, and this seemed like the best place.
