My son was waitlisted RD with scores and grades like yours, but is attending and doing well. I am not sure how unique your proposed major is. My sense is each one is popular on its own and the combo not uncommon. I think if you talk about it, you will need to be specific in how you will apply your degree.

I am also confused about the uncle thing and agree with Faline. It seems a little manipulative since it is conditional on you being accepted. As a professor, if I got that email, I don’t know what I would do. What if the professor is not a fan of your uncle’s films? What if he or she is turned off by the nature of the request? I mean, really, do you think you are more deserving of admission than someone whose uncle is not famous? You are not the film producer, your uncle is. It seems like that sort of thing that could get an eye roll from an admissions counselor if the professor forwards the email on. Definitely NOT what you want.
