Is anybody here from NYU as an international student?
Can you please share your experience of getting into NYU?

I am a int. student.

I went to LIU as a freshman and transfered in as a sophomore...there is not much I can tell you that is different for us int. students...in fact, it is much easier to get in as a foreign student because film schools love diversity.

good luck...and if you have specific questions, feel free to ask me.

1. Where are you from?
2. What is LIU?
I have a problem - where can I pass SAT?

Here is some info on SAT tests in international areas.

I am from Switzerland
LIU is long island university: C.W. post...another college I went as a freshman.
SAT--->see titaniums posting

and good luck with that...read the HOW TO CRACK THE SAT book (on amazon.com)...it helped me a lot, I got 570 on verbal withouth knowing **** about english just by guessing....SAT is alll about guessing and its easy to crack if you get a bit behind the system

THANKS!!!
I`m surprised with your help.
Thanks a lot! I`ll try to deal with it and, I hope, soon I could tell you "thanks" in the real life...

That's true. The math should be as easy for you as math is already, once you learn to decipher any peculiar ways they might phrase the questions. The verbal test can be guessed without too much knowledge of English. The writing might be a challenge. I don't know whether or not they know not to expect high scores in the writing section for people who have English as a second language.

I have another question.
Which topics are included into SAT?

They should pass TOEFL first.

Do everybody have to make SAT?

in order to get in a good filmschool?

Yeah, you have to take it, though you can slip through with less than stellar scores often.

And, Andrew, you can learn all about it at that website, and take a practice test, I think. I'd suggest a good book though. Prep books helped me get around 300 points higher.

F..k!
The closest date of passing SAT is 26th of January.
And the deadline for Fall 2006 is 15th January.
What can I do?

It's OK, I think. Just write to them explaining that your scores will arrive as soon as you take the test on Jan 26th.

And what about TOEFL?
I`m going to get TOEFL tests nearly at march.

It might be a good idea to contact them and ask about that one. I know they're willing to wait on some things, but that might be too long...

I`ve got the eply from nyu.
They said, that I need to mention in my application that I`m passing SAT in late January.
That`s OK!
I`m passing TOEFL 11th of January. I`ve got some time to get ready...
And I have two more questions.
1. What is the duration of full-time studiyng period?
2. 50.000 - is this the price for full-time or just for one year?

Good news indeed!

The program is four years, each year composed of two semesters. First semester is from the beginning of September through mid-December. Second semester is mid-January to early-May. The cost of $50,000 (including housing) is for two semesters. It's absurdly expensive, yeah, but it's worth it. (We'll see what I'm saying when my first loan bills start arriving in 2009 )

O, s..t, I have a much bigger problem...
I do not have a certificate of my high scool education, because I`m graduating in May 2006.
But they ask to send thrm a photocopy of my scores.
What can I do?

I bet this is another issue that they will be OK about. I didn't send a transcript until a month before classes started. Just email them again

huh, thanks!
I think I`ll mention it in "additional info" form...
