ask a Tisch Film/TV Freshman! :) (stats, app process, my experience, etc)

<p>To be honest swan, deciding to major in film for me was the easiest decision I’ve ever made. I’m still only a senior but I was accepted into tisch for dramatic writing so I’m not claimng to know all of life’s answers. But the only thing I had trouble with was deciding what area in film I should major in. It’s been years since I considered any other major and even then I always knew film was going to e my choice. It was always in the back of my mind for the most part. The thing about film is that you really need to have a passion for it in order for it to work. My family suggested I get some kind of back up or do a double major but i know that if I have a safety I will most likely end up falling on it. So I’m going full speed ahead because I know this is what I want to do with the rest of my life even if it doesn’t make me rich. I will still be happy. </p>

<p>So now you have to ask yourself how bad do you want it? If you are willing to throw all your ideas away of becoming a doctor or lawyer in order to pursue this 100% then I say go for it! But if there’s doubt in your mind it will grow. This industry is very challenging so what little doubt you have no could chase you out of film in the future. </p>

<p>Sorry if that sounded like it scared you. I would highly recommend film school to you if it’s right for you but it’s not right for everyone. Heck! It might not be right for me! But i love it to much to not give it a chance. </p>

<p>I think your gut will know which way to go. Listen to it.</p>
