<p>it doesnt matter what your grades are for tisch, unless youre really good at film, you wont get it. same for the other schools unlesss youre just applying to the normal school as a film major oppposed to a special program</p>

<p>^ Yeah, that's the problem, film schools are based on how good you are, as I'm sure you know, USC accepts something crazy like 5% of applicants.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies.</p>

<p>I would like reiterate that for USC and NYU, I'm applying to the studies programs rather than those for production. People in admissions at both schools told me that production experience is less necessary for admission into studies (USC was much more direct with respect to this, however I should take that).</p>

<p>Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to convince anyone here that I'm proper material for those schools, but doesn't anyone think that this will make a difference?</p>

6

<p>Just one bump for any more input.</p>

7

<p>when you say "how good you are"</p>

<p>do you like make a documentary or portfolio of the clips or short movies you made and send it to them?</p>

<p>so if you ARE THAT GOOD they will WANT you regardless of your grades</p>

<p>but are you that passionate about film?</p>

<p>what is your definition of an "impressive" movie?</p>

<p>what is a "beautiful" mainstream movie nowadays?</p>

<p>You seem very academic based. Almost no EC's, and definitely none pertaining to film. I think that might really kill you. Even though you say that you're not doing prouction, surely these colleges need some indication of your skill, passion, and commitment to film?</p>
