<p>do they have to match up with your major? cuz i would say my first interest is film but for YALE specifically i'm applying to the american studies major so would i say "area, ethnic, cultural studies" or "arts visual (film)"?</p>
<p>anyone? i want to submit it in the next few mins.</p>
<p>Does Yale not have a film major? If not, I would match up your “academic interests” to whatever you’re planning on pursuing at Yale - area/ethnic studies, if that’s it.</p>
<p>it has a film studies major but it doesn’t look nearly as interesting as the american studies major to me. i ended up putting film as my first academic interest but my “why yale” was about why the american studies program at yale appeals to me and my goals as a screenwriter so hopefully it’ll be fine. :)</p>
