Ithaca is going to be tough for her to get into because of her GPA (rough sophomore year). It was on the Hollywood Reporter Top 25 Film School list which may make it even more competitive. We’ve also heard it’s a pretty boring area.
The plus side for us is that it’s only 1 hour 45 minutes from us.
Darn OK. Yes Ithaca is a known film school. My two applied mostly to top 25 film programs so I am less familiar with other programs not on « the lists. »
I know earlier in the thread Columbia College Chicago came up. They are now accepting “express” applications with no essay. Since D26 hasn’t finished hers yet 
, she went ahead and submitted her application.
