<p>I'm currently a senior at Newtown Highschool and I was wondering what people thought about my chances to Emerson. I'm applying to the film program EA in a few days.
GPA: 3.82 Unweighted/4.1 Weighted
SAT: 1640 :(
Current AP courses: Spanish and Literature
Volunteer Hours: Over 900 hours
Film Credentials: I work for a small company as the director of photography and video. I have worked with several industry professionals on multiple shoots.
Won the Connecticut Student Film Festival for Outstanding History Short. I will be competing this year as well.
Essay: Very strong and unique.
Portfolio Video: A very powerful video.
Thanks!</p>
<p>If your application film catches their attention, I think you’ll get in!</p>
<p>I know when I applied, I felt confident about my application film, but I was rejected because of my GPA. They told me I just needed to get my GPA up over a 3.5, and then to reapply… You have a 3.5 unweighted, so I think your chances here are better than mine were then.</p>
<p>Thanks! Where do you go if you don’t mind me asking?</p>
<p>Currently I attend SUNY Albany in New York state, but I’m attempting to transfer to either Wesleyan University, Boston University, or SUNY Binghamton in the Spring semester.</p>
<p>I was originally bent on getting into Emerson for Film, but I’ve since decided to double-major in Computer Science, which Emerson doesn’t offer, so I’m looking at the aforementioned schools because they all have good undergrad film programs of their own.</p>
