Thanks everyone. To answer some of your questions: he absolutely loves everything about film, especially video production, editing, operating cameras, and directing actors. He’s created some low level films for his broadcasting class using students as actors.
He does not have a preference for east coast vs. west coast; doesn’t mind large schools (but I think he would do better at a smaller school with 7K or less students); we are full pay and are not merit chasing.
He didn’t study for the PSAT and got around 1200. We will get him a test prep tutor and he will likely take the ACT/SAT a few times to get the best score. He has 504 accommodations due to his ADHD/executive function issues.
I’ll look into some of those colleges you all have suggested. I realize that the pay might be low working in the film industry but we are going to give him a chance to pursue his “passion”. At the end of the day, we want him to be educated and happy about his career choice(s), whatever they may be?
