Sounds like a plan! Have you checked out the film program at Temple as suggested by another poster? Look at the numbers, but I think that academically this may be pretty safe for you, and if the film program appeals to you and you’re OK with Philadelphia, you might be happier than at UMBC and HCC as I think you could be doing serious film. As for NCSA, yes, it is in small town NC. But in your worst case scenario, if you’re looking at one of your safeties, you might want to at least try to have the choice of going to a really intense, hands on film program with amazing facilities with a bunch of like-minded filmmakers instead. (Don’t think of it as a shoe-in, though. Very competitive.)

Good luck with all this, and with your top choices especially. You clearly have a lot going for you artistically. Be sure you have applications that really showcase everything you’ve done, your interests, skills, successes and enthusiasm.
