lampoonlion, you just answered your own question by telling the admissions about your desire and story when you apply next year. You’re a junior, you can change the course of the story by doing something, and I mean now.

In your essay, write something about your desire to come to a prestigious school for film even though your high school program is not preparing you in such field. Pump your resume with volunteer work at museums, art or film festival. You might want to sponsor a video clip contest in your school or invite a local celebrity, tv newscaster to come to your school and talk to students about their work. Get the local cell phone company or BestBuy to help you with the prizes.

There’s a lot of possibilities. Being female Hispanic and low socio economic is already a plus for minority scholarships. Get your grades all up, good to excellent SAT I and subject tests scores. Good luck!
