<p>The schools on your list are all excellent and reasonable. Columbia will be a major reach, but what the hoo! USC and NYU have very competitive admissions standards for Film due to the strength of their programs (#1 and #2 in the nation I believe).</p>

<p>Additionally, I would check out the followin schools:
University of Missouri (safety)
Northwestern University (reach)
UCLA (reach)
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (reach)
University of Texas-Austin (match/reach)
Wesleyan University (reach)</p>

<p>some of those are definitely reaches, but its a good list. i am not just suggesting this because its my college, but if u would be interested in a small liberal arts college i would suggest depauw university. they have a media fellows program that is great from what i hear. heres some info about it: <a href=“https://www.depauw.edu/honors/media/index.asphttps://www.depauw.edu/honors/media/index.asp[/url]”>https://www.depauw.edu/honors/media/index.asphttps://www.depauw.edu/honors/media/index.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>What can you afford? What’s your home state?</p>

<p>Blue: you should know (if you already don’t) that USC has both Annenberg and Cinema; two diff schools; if you apply to film production, you are not getting the communications etc…not sure (unless something has changed) you can double major there in particular…</p>

<p>at Newhouse, you can double major in film and marketing but not double in two diff areas of communication (like film and PR)</p>

<p>I think Umaryland is just journalism but I could be mistaken…</p>

<p>ditto for the rest of your list…not sure you can double major in film production and PR in most comm schools…</p>

<p>Yeah, actually, I’m going to be double majoring in film production and political science now.
Thanks for the feedback!</p>
