<p>Heyo, so I'm applying to Emerson's film production major.
What are they looking for in an applicant to this major? I have the grades and scores. My superscored SAT is a 2040 and my GPA is above their average, too. My high school classes are pretty rigorous - I'm in four APs this year (Calculus, Lang, Environmental, Government); Last year I was in 3 (U.S. - 5; Lit - 5; Psych 4); sophomore year I took World Hist and got a 4. I'm pretty confident I'll have kickbutt essays, and I'm going to be applying to the Honors college. However I'm a little concerned about my lack of film experiences. (I was in communications 1 last year and over the summer I shadowed my aunt on a movie set she was working on for a week - she's a scenic artist...)
Do they care more about the creative supplement than they do your film-related extracurriculars and experiences? I haven't really had too much opportunity to do things ""officially"" with film - so like no film camps, summer programs, internships, etc.. But I think I could make a really good short film for my creative supplement... I mean I think. (I don't have money or advanced technology on my side.)
What're your thoughts?
Are good essays, grades, scores and a decent creative supplement enough? Is my lack of experience gonna ruin it for me? What is Emerson looking for? Thank you!</p>
<p>Oh P.S.
