<p>I would love to attend UCLA's film program. A bit about me:</p>

<p>-I take mainly honors classes
-I took 3 AP classes this year (Statistics, Physics, and Word Hist.) and am taking two next year (Lit & Comp. and Euro Hist.)
-I have generally a B average, though I also get A's and the occasional C
-I am Secretary of the Teenage Republican Club
-I am Class President
-I have been Homeroom representative in my class
-I have been a grade representative in Student Government Association
-I am a producer for my local channel, channel 19
-This summer I am filming a Star Wars fanfilm Trilogy, with fullblown effects (cgi, lightsaber rotoscopig etc.) to show off some of my filmmaking ability
-I also am shooting a dramatic film right now, plus another short and a documentary in the fall
-I have no applyable score for the SAT, but my projected average schore is between 1400-1500 (that is, of course, with the old SAT)
-I be taking all 5 AP tests
- I will be taking the ACT as well</p>

<p>Do you think I have a chance of admission? I am out of state too, Maryland.</p>

<p>I'd say its a reach, for one because of the major and two because of OOS. Good luck though; it's definitely not an impossibility.</p>

<p>UCLA: Reach (out of state)</p>

4

<p>I was told they arent supposed to discriminate out of state for acceptance, just tuition.</p>

5

<p>Oh, they discriminate for admissions, alright. If they didn't, then there would be a lot more out-of-state applicants to UCLA followed by mass riots. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Just curious, are you from around the DC area? I'm from Southern California, but moved to Montgomery County almost 6 years ago.</p>

<p>It's incredibly hard to get into the film</p>

<p>I'm about an hour out of the DC area</p>

<p>keep in mind you cant apply to ucla's film program until your junior year. and you have to go to either ucla, one of the other uc schools, or a cali community college to be able to apply jr year (otherwise i totally would have applied there...frickin awesome campus)</p>
