How hard is it to get into NYU Tischs Dramatic Writing program assuming that I have really good grades and over 2100 on the SATs?
I dunno, I think at first my friend who was accepted to Tisch wanted to make her screenplay have some deep symbolism that all tied together in the end. In other words, she was trying way too hard. In the end she just wrote things as they flowed out of her mind; when revising, she didn’t add many more “ideas” to the screenplay, just tidied it up to make it as clear as possible. I don’t mean to try to advise you on how to write, it just seems that my friends simple, honest screenplay made a very favorable impression upon the people at Tisch. It certainly didn’t contain verbose language or really any deep meaning, it was just a good story, witty, and easy to imagine being acted out in a movie or TV Episode.
