Your daughter’s list is unsurprisingly a lot like my own daughter’s list. The number of top programs in film production is pretty small.
My daughter applied to three schools with EA or Priority deadlines:
Emerson (accepted Honors College)
U of Texas at Austin (accepted RTF)
Chapman (waitlist)
She did not apply to LMU. She must wait until March to know the rest.
We think the Chapman result maybe not a great sign for the other schools higher on the list, but she is relieved to have two excellent options for film production.
