<p>Hi everyone I am going to be a junior transfer and I am applying to both UCLA's and LMU's film schools. I am sophomore right now at Chapman University and a television major at the schools Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, which has gained much recognition in the past few years with its brand new facilities, to professors and etc. I have a 3.5 gpa...I was selected to the the chancellors list for academic success. I have also been involved in the honor society of gamma beta phi and also with many clubs such as Invisible children which has become a very successful group on Chapman's campus. I know both UCLA and LMU are great film schools and I am not a California resident as I am originally from Washington state but since I have pretty good grades and am at a good film school already and have had lots of experience in television work at school...would this increase my chances for these two schools? Thanks!</p>
<p>You need to be realistic about your goals. No one institution will make your goals or “dreams” realized. Only you can, and frankly the only benefits I see of transferring in are possible resources, but even then a lot of the industry is about work experience. No one graduates from a school in film and is handed money to do the jobs of veterans in the industry(regardless of position).</p>
<p>Chapman is a great school. Stop being so concerned and just apply. you won’t know until you get in.</p>
<p>very well said I agree!</p>
