<p>What do you mean RHP?</p>
<p>I applied for the production program too so i only sent my portfolio to them.</p>
<p>I didn’t include any film experience in my main school app because i thought it would sound like i was bigging myself up. I concentrated on EC’s and other work experience. </p>
<p>Now I’m worried. :(</p>

<p>RHP is Resident Honors Program. It essentially allows very high achieving high school juniors to go straight to USC, skipping senior year. Their application is different than normal applicants, so you have nothing to worry about.</p>
