<p>NYU/USC reach</p>

<p>dont know anything about chapman/emerson</p>

<p>wow... your numbers are strikingly similar to mine (from last year). hm.
NYU/USC: reach
Emerson:low-match
Chapman ( i don't get this school)- safety... maybe a low match</p>

<p>Anyhow, I'd just like to let you know not to count on the nyu summer program to get you into nyu. i know someone who went to nyu's summer program 3 years in a row and had rec from her professor there and didn't get in. She's at ...USC now (not in the film progrm though).</p>
