Definitely agree with the whole experience and diversity thing. As my username suggests, I’m hoping to major in film though I start year 12 next year so I’ve got a year to go. I have a predicted ATAR 99+ and SAT practice scores 2250+ so I reckon I’d have a chance at some of the Ivies but I really just want to go to NYU or USC as they’re top film schools.

How weird do you reckon it’d be for Aussies on campus? I’m actually from WA which is so boring and non-diverse though I know Melbourne’s a little better. But its going to be so weird to be on a campus where there are people of all races, in fairly equal proportions, as opposed to predominantly white in Aus.

Btw, if you get in, bring a lot of Tim Tams. I hear they don’t have them in the states and you’ll instantly be the popular kid with the choccies :)
