<p>I'm a rising Senior, and I'm going to base the post off of what I should have by the time I graduate as far as GPA. I was on the "slack track" my Freshman and Sophomore year and had some tragedies in my life, but I have really got my butt in gear and I am getting straight A's now and that's what I plan on getting on throughout next year which shouldn't be hard for me. I'm dual enrolling this Summer at a local Community College and taking online AP courses to catch up. Ive already done all the calculating and figured out what I can get if I do end up getting all straight A's in the classes I plan on taking which are all AP and 3 dual enrollment classes, and 2 AP online courses each semester. Also a little tidbit I'm fluent in American Sign Language.</p>

<p>I would say that you make sure you hit your target for your future GPA because anything below would be cutting it close.</p>

<p>The film school is a limited access program that takes a handful out of hundreds (thousands?) of applications. I believe they take 25-30 out of 3000+ applications. You have to submit work outside of the usual GPA/SAT/Resume application stuff. If you search the FSU board, you will see that no one really gives chances on admission to FSU film. It is a subjective thing that only the film committee can judge. Can you get into FSU, most likely. Can you get into FSU film? We have no idea. Best of Luck!
