<p>^ Thank you so much! My current list of schools I’ll apply to is: NYU, USC, Emerson, UFlorida, and UNCSA. The order in which I want to go is in order there, too. </p>
<p>Your alternative film school sounds like a major benefit to your application… I don’t know if I really have anything like that. The only film related EC’s I have are writing scripts/filming them, founding/being president of our school’s film club, writing movie reviews monthly for the school paper/concurrently being the Arts and Entertainment editor for it, acting in several school/community productions, and working at a movie theater (which enables me to help at film festivals, etc.) I don’t want this reply to become a “CHANCE ME!” post, so I won’t list my other EC’s, haha. </p>
<p>Another thing is that my academics aren’t fantastic… My GPA is a 4.0 weighted… but so is everyone else’s. Also, my SATs were only a 1730 (620 in CR, 660 in W, but only a 460 in M). I plan on retaking those once more and taking the SATs. There are no actual film classes at my high school, but I take the closest ones to that subject, which are Broadcast Journalism (we use the cameras a lot), Creative Writing, Drama Theory & Methods, Art, Graphic Communications… so no actual “Film” type of class. </p>
<p>Is there anything you think I need to do to improve my chances of admission? (This doesn’t even have to be just for NYU, but a film school in general.)</p>
