<p>How is the cinema studies major at UPenn? Anyone know?
How is the UPenn atmosphere in general? I have just recently considered this college as a possibility.</p>
<p>Also wanted to know my chances.
*I would’ve had a 5-generation legacy at Penn, but my dad didn’t want to go there. However, I think my uncle is the head of some alumni association and they all donate money and stuff. So I guess that would help me…?</p>
