<p>Hey all.
So here’s my predicament.
I basically figured out where all I was going to apply a couple weeks ago. Sad, I know.
At the moment, I would like to pursue a career in film production, but because of my general lack of experience, this might change in the future 
It turns out that the USC cinema school application was due Dec 1, and because I heard that it is still possible to take film courses as a non-SCA student, I’m planning on applying anyways.
Is this a bad idea?
If not, what major should I put down for now in the application?
What would my chances be of transferring into SCA later as a USC student?</p>
<p>it’s really hard to transfer into sca but it IS possible, just very very hard. but you could always do a film/tv minor and take a lot of production classes that way.</p>

<p>if you’re wondering what major to put down, something in communications would probably be a good bet if you really want to go into the entertainment industry after graduation. i don’t know about usc’s connections in communications exactly, but i think with a communications major and a cinema minor from usc…job prospects would probably be pretty good for the film industry. just taking a lot of classes in sca (and having a minor in cinema) will probably get you some good connections in the film industry if film is really your thing and you make it a point to make connections, work on films in and out of class, etc. just my two cents, though.</p>
