Chances on Getting into Emerson for Film?

<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>I am a current junior in high school and plan on applying to Emerson for film in the fall of 2012. Below is my resume. I know I don't have much of a film resume but I am looking to change that. I plan on attending a summer film school, either at Emerson or NYU this summer. Anyways, please chance (I'll chance back if you want). Thanks!</p>
