Restrictive early action vs. film school?

I just applied REA, but I know that I am allowed to apply to any public schools EA or private schools if the EA is a scholarship deadline or for a specific academic program. I want to apply to the USC School of Cinematic Arts, deadline on 12/1. Scholarship deadline for USC is also 12/1. Why isn’t my CommonApp giving me the option to select 12/1 as my intended submission date even though I have selected film for my first choice major? Already called USC and they couldn’t help me.
