<p>Reaches (5):
Columbia (may or may not apply to) - denied
Wesleyan - hard to predict (I’m a white male, and I got in with a 3.3 GPA)
USC: School of Cinematic Arts - depends on what you send in for your portfolio, but it will be tough with your GPA
Vassar - hard to predict
NYU: Tisch School of the Arts - this one really depends on your portfolio </p>
<p>Matches (4):
Kenyon College - good shot
Chapman University: Dodge College of Film and Media Arts - good shot
Loyola Marymount University: School Of Film and Television - very good shot
Bard - good shot </p>
<p>Safeties (2):
Sarah Lawrence College - good shot (I view this more as a match)
Ithaca College - very good shot</p>
<p>To be honest you have a good list. Columbia will be extremely difficult to get into, but I think schools like Wesleyan, Vassar, NYU, and USC are worth applying to. Look into Occidental and Pitzer - both of these schools have great writing and film programs, give good aid, and are located in LA. I would take Ithaca off.</p>
