So, jakem, are you looking for a completely unrelated major? Are you planning to apply to these schools with film as a first choice and something else as a second choice major?

If so, I think that’s a good idea. Good film programs are very competitive and it’s wise to have a plan B.

I would go about your search for a second major the same way one would go about looking for a first major. Pretend film is not an option. With that off the table, what interests you? What are you good at? What are some interesting majors offered at the schools to which you are applying?

The truth is that most undergrads will change their major at some point. Nevertheless, you can hopefully get going in the right direction. Then, if you decide to veer off into a different major, hopefully it will be somewhat similar to the one you started with.
