<p>Given that Stanford’s acceptance rate is only 10%, the chance of even a super top candidate getting in is very small. </p>

<p>So I would say that even though you are a URM, it would still be a very long shot.</p>

<p>Perhaps you should apply to USC, as they have a good film school, and that is one of your interests.</p>

<p>Even USC is very hard to get into, but I would think that would be a more realistic shot for you.</p>
