<p>I do think you have a shot.</p>

<p>The test scores are well below Fordham's midrange, but your URM status, plus your unique ec (filming a movie) could give you a hook. I would defuinately try to improve the scores on SAT to better your chances, and I would definately write a GREAT essay about the movie experience. Show passion and drive and energy.</p>

<p>You have a shot, but it is not a lock.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>
