Ang enrolled at the Tisch School of the Arts of New York University, where he received his MFA. The school was founded in 1965. It has 2,700 undergraduates (in 7 programs) and 500 graduate students (in 10 programs). Tisch is best known for its renowned acting program, and its impressive film program (often called the NYU Film School). The select MFA program in film directing accepts only 5% of applicants for an annual incoming class of 36 students. Students of Tisch are sometimes called "Tischies."
