Wiki on Lady Gaga
After high school, her mother encouraged her to apply for the Collaborative Arts Project 21 (CAP21), a musical theater training conservatory at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.[13] By age seventeen, after becoming one of twenty students to gain early admission, she lived in an NYU dorm on 11th Street.[20] In addition to sharpening her songwriting skills, she composed essays and analytical papers on art, religion, social issues, and politics, including a thesis on pop artists Spencer Tunick and Damien Hirst.[22][23] She also auditioned for various roles and won the part of an unsuspecting diner customer for MTV's Boiling Points
