我写信是想告诉你一个好消息,我儿子已经被他的第一志愿大学录取了, the Tisch Undergraduate Film Program at NYU. As you know, 9月底,他决定只申请提供电影本科专业的学校, focusing on those with a greater emphasis on filmmaking than on academic film studies. 他还选择了具有坚实的人文核心课程的大学,而不是更专业的艺术学校. In the end he applied to ten schools: NYU, USC, UCLA, SF State, U. Texas at Austin, Syracuse, Chapman University, B.U., Ithaca College, and Bard.
In December, after college visits and considerable research, 并考虑到他在南加州大学电影艺术学院暑期学校的六周经历, he decided to go for "Early Decision II" at NYU, as he believes that, all things considered, Tisch offers the ideal program for him: great resources, and emphasis on hands-on filmmaking, and a reputation for valuing high intellectual standards and artistic originality (vs. the more commercial industry-focused program exemplified by USC).
The great news is that he was accepted at Tisch! He's over the moon, and so are his Mom and I.
你给他的创造性和智力指导和支持显然是形成和催化的, and he continues to think of you as a great mentor, and someone who made a real difference in his life. He will never forget you, and what you gave him. Thank you.
Our son’s entire experience at Oxbow was transformative, and you and the school made a tremendous difference in his life. It was the turning point in his high school experience, and he returned to Packer Collegiate a stronger student and person as a result. 我以前也说过,但他被纽约大学录取是一个切实的证据,证明他和我们在他回国后所相信的是事实.
