High School Performing Arts NYC?

answers1: wow I am on the same page :) <br>
sorry if my answer isn't going to help at all but just think; I can do
this, be full of confidence don't think the worst think the best. Like
what if I mess up something don't think that, rather think I won't
mess up something because I know what I'm doing and I'm just going to
do this for my self. <br>
You could always audition at many schools and see what school wants to
take you in and accept the best opportunity. Just don't give up on
your self and do your best. <br>
Good luck with your future and getting into a great school. :) <br>
I wish you all the best. <br>

answers3: There are many great places to learn about any kind of arts
in NYC. I know of a few that I can tell you about but I'd rather just
show you, check my source.
answers4: I am a NYC public school teacher and my daughter is applying
to high school this year. She is interested in arts high schools, so I
happen to know a lot about Laguardia right now. (Her audition for that
school is next week, BTW.) <br>
<br>
The truth is, I would have told you exactly what that email told you.
You cannot enter Laguardia in 11th grade. They only audition 8th
graders for seats in the 9th grade class, or 9th graders for seats in
the 10th grade class. All the specialized schools in NYC are like
that. <br>
<br>
In fact, it is unlikely that you could enter any of the better
performing arts schools in NYC in 11th grade. <br>
<br>
As for auditioning for an earlier grade, Laguardia DOES allow people
who are moving to NYC to audition in August for either the 9th or 10th
grade class. However you MUST be able to prove residency at that time.
If you were going to move here a year earlier you might be able to do
that. <br>
<br>
Hope this helps. <br>
<br>
EDIT: Oh and I just re-read your question and saw what you wrote about
Julliard having only a 7 percent acceptance rate. Well, Laguardia's
acceptance rate is only between 7 and 10 percent as well (depending on
which studio you are auditioning for - acting, vocal, instrumental,
fine art, dance, stage design, etc.) <br>
<br>
EDIT: I re-read your question again and I realize that you are asking
for any schools other than Laguardia as well. <br>
<br>
The other really good performing arts school in NYC (in Queens) is the
Frank Sinatra High School of the Arts. I don't know if they take
anyone in 11th grade. I doubt it truthfully, but you could write to
them. <br>
<br>
Also, in Manhattan, for the performing arts only, is Talent Unlimited,
a public school on the Upper East Side. <br>
<br>
There are other performing arts schools, but these are the only good
ones that are easily accessible from Manhattan. <br>
<br>
In Brooklyn (but for Brooklyn residents only) is Murrow High School -
a really large school with a great arts program. But you have live in
Brooklyn to attend and it's also very hard to get into.
