<p>How large of a factor is the strength of your portfolio? 50/50? </p>
<p>In terms of my portfolio, I personally believe it's very strong, but then again, I wouldn't be applying if I felt that it wasn't.</p>
<p>Good SAT scores, good activities, not quite as good GPA. I know nothing about the cinema department, so I can't really comment. Those are just general things.</p>
<p>cntv is highly competitive. production has the lowest acceptance rate in the country. do your best and mail it off.......you have nothing to lose!</p>
<p>I also applied for USC CNTV, but I'm a bit insecure about my porfolio (the rest must be okay). I don't have much interesting EC's to mention. I am however an international student and took acting lessons for eight years (something I consider to be useful for a director). Does that make me interesting enough for the admission committee? </p>
