I'm a Cinematic Arts major! Any questions?

<p>I’m going to be a freshman in college come fall at CMU [carnegie mellon university]. I have only recently found my passion for film. I want to transfer to usc for film but in order to do so I would have to have a portfolio already - correct? I know I could definitely make the supplements but since I just found my love of film should I rush and make several short films now? Also, do you know the rate of acceptance for transfers for the film program? Thanks!</p>
