<p>So this is not another thread about part II being absent after mid-August. I was wondering about a few things.</p>
<ol>
<li>What are my chances of getting accepted with </li>
</ol>
<p>GPA 3.83
ACT 35
A rough cirriculum filled with honors/AP courses.
AP Scores:
Economics Macro 4
US Government 4
US History 5
English Lang/Comp 5</p>
<p>And medicore list of activities. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>I would like to go to the SCA. I know it's ultra-competitive, so would it be better to just apply to a different program (like Business) and minor in film production?</p></li>
<li><p>Is it possible to apply to both the SCA and the Business school at USC?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>For academic programs, yes you would have a good shot. With that said, SCA is a whole different story as your portfolio plays a large part in your acceptance. However, USC does allow you to list a second choice major if you don’t get into your first choice, so you could definitely apply to SCA and if you don’t get in, you could be considered for Marshall.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure there’s no minor in film production, though I think you can take production classes with other film minors. Also, if you do apply for the business school, there is a joint program (Business in Cinematic Arts) that you can apply to if you’re admitted to the business program that is a business program, but you “concentrate” in cinematic arts.</p>
<p>If you do decide to do the SCA minor, there is a wonderfully flexible Cinematic Arts minor [USC</a> School of Cinematic Arts - Prospective Students Minors and Additional Programs Minors Cinematic Arts](<a href=“http://cinema.usc.edu/prospective/other/minors/cinematic-arts.htm]USC”>http://cinema.usc.edu/prospective/other/minors/cinematic-arts.htm) that allows you to customize it to your interests. There is only one required course (CTCS 190 or 191), and then you can choose whatever concentration - such as production - and take the rest of your courses for the minor in that area. Or you can sample all of the SCA areas.</p>
