Hello I love your videos!! I just read the comment you answered about applying to Tisch vs Steinhardt and NYU is my dream school for musical theatre and I'm very conflicted and would like your opinion. I am very dancer first and acting and singing are pretty even but if Steinhardt is more singing focused would it be better to apply to that to improve vocally or is it harder to get into if your not as strong vocally because of how vocally focused it is?

go off youre amazing and also is a bm more like a bfa or a ba in terms of intensity and whether you have time to pursue others minors?

What college do you attend? I want to attend Tisch and the website doesn't make clear whether or not you get accepted into NYU and Tisch simultaneously.
