<p>@muf123 No problem!</p>
<p>I decided on NYU because it’s an excellent film school, and I thought living in NYC would certainly ground my work. Also, I think it’s a common conception that USC is more Hollywood while NYU is more… artistic? I can’t really think of the right word just now. I liked that idea. I felt like I could grow so much here. Well actually USC was my first choice, but I didn’t get in. Funny enough, NYU wasn’t my dream school. I wanted a school with an actual college campus. I mainly chose it for its film program. And living in NYC is pretty awesome.</p>
<p>I considered USC, Northwestern, Emerson, Loyola Marymount, Syracuse, and Chapman.</p>
<p>I actually had almost no film experience… it’s kind of embarrassing. But don’t discredit me or anything. I only submitted writing for my Tisch portfolio, as I want to become a film/TV writer. And certainly I’m here to learn about other things like camera, lights, and editing - which I have. In high school, I did some small videos for clubs and whatnot, but mostly concentrated on writing. That just goes to show that you should play to your strengths. I doubt I’d impress anyone with my iMovie skills, so I showed my passion for and creativity in film and TV through my writing.</p>
<p>I am in a committee for a student film festival and am in a club that connects Stern and Tisch. I also am on the newspaper staff. I’m currently looking for a part-time job for next semester, hopefully one that is entertainment related.</p>
