<p>I just want to make sure I have the instructions correct. </p>

<p>“Within the online application manager, please upload an essay addressing the following questions. Be sure to include some specific examples, and please limit your response to three double-spaced pages.”</p>

<p>Then 4 essay topics are listed, one of which that tells me to address this:</p>

<p>“Filmmakers Workshop: Narrative: How have film and television directly influenced your life? List your five favorite films and/or television programs. For each favorite, please explain your choice.”</p>

<p>So my question is, do I do all the topics, including my five favorite films/TV programs in one whole essay, or do I do the three topics then do a paper that explains my five favorite films/TV programs? </p>

<p>And if it’s one full essay, got any tips of how to squeeze all of that information into 3 pages while staying detailed?</p>

Can you call the admissions office and ask for clarification?</p>
