I’m currently a freshman at the University of Waterloo and I would really like to be a part of USC’s Cinematic Arts Program next fall. Right now I’m actually majoring in MathEcon and minoring in Computer science. I always knew it wasn’t for me going in, but there was so much family pressure. But after 2 terms/semesters I’m eager to finally pursue something that I’m interested in. Those classes honestly depressed me.

Anyways, like I said I would really like to be a part of USC’s cinematic arts program, specifically the Screenwriting program. The problem however is that because I spent so much time on my STEM-based courses I literally have no extra-curricular activities that display or show my creative side. I’m obviously going to try to make up for it next term and will throw myself into more extra-curricular activities but I’m scared that because USC is a school that gives much attention to areas other than academics (especially for Cinematic Arts), I don’t have a chance of making it in.

Please help. What should I do? I’m willing to listen to any advice.
