She dropped out in 2005 to focus on her music career. Last year, Bachelor alum Carly Waddell, a former classmate of Lady Gaga, made headlines over comments she made on Jason Tartick’s Trading Secrets podcast.Waddell talked about attending NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts at the same time as Gaga.Waddell suggested that the “Poker Face” singer’s habit of belting out Wicked tunes on the piano during lunchtime could get a little annoying.“[We] would eat in a dance studio,” Waddell recalled. “And there was a piano, and [Gaga] would sit at the piano every single day and just play and sing Wicked at the top of her lungs every day.

And we were all just trying to eat lunch. It was break time, and we were all forced to listen to her. And yes, was she good? Of course! She was great, but I just wanted to eat my sandwich.
