<p>jkain, the only one I can give info about is USC. My S applied there last year with a 3.8 GPA (I can’t remember whether or not that was weighted) and a 2160 SAT score. He had also won several awards for his short films and had tons of other ec’s. He was not even accepted to the university, much less to the film school.</p>

<p>I would suggest looking at the forums for each of the schools you are interested in. Most of them will have an “official” thread about acceptances. If you look through the thread you’ll see the stats and usually the majors of those accepted and not accepted.</p>
