@film1999 I think you have a really good shot at being admitted! your film internship, creative supplement, and additional ECs are very strong and very related to what you want to pursue in college. I honestly think you got this.
Also, one question - did you put down “media arts production” as your intended major?

@brookemitchell Yes I applied as a Media Arts Production major with a specialization in Film and Television Production

@film1999 do you know if it’s possible to change your concentration within the media arts production major after applying? like right now, I’m applying with an intended concentration in photography, but would I be allowed to switch to film and television after a semester or a year?

@brookemitchell I believe it would be possible to switch concentrations, but I’m not positive. I haven’t heard of any college that does not allow students to switch majors/concentrations so you should be fine!
