What other options should we consider? [MN resident, 3.77 GPA, 35 ACT, <$33k, divorced parents; film / media studies, political science, environmental studies]

Clark U could be a good one to look at. Their Screen Studies major has a lot of production content and great internship opportunities. Major in Screen Studies | Bachelor of Arts Degree | Clark University Poli Sci and environmental studies should be solid too. And they tend to be pretty generous with merit.

Since you’re looking at Ohio LAC’s, Ohio Wesleyan could be worth a look also Film Studies Program | Ohio Wesleyan University

Even leaving aside the odds of acceptance, your reaches don’t seem to have much affordability potential.

Conn College could be a good alternative to Wesleyan. They’re not super-generous with merit but do have some merit scholarships, which Wesleyan does not. Film Studies · Connecticut College (Conn exists because of Wesleyan’s one-time resistance to going coed, although of course both are coed now.)
