Film (NYU, NW, FSU)

<p>I really would like to go to film school and are starting to gather apps at the universities that have prestigious film programs. They are listed in the topic as my preference order.</p>

<p>Also my mom received her Phd from FSU in 2000 for alumni relations purposes.</p>

<p>I went to a arts based charter school but my grades were pretty sub par.</p>

<p>College GPA: 3:46</p>

<p>ACT: 25 (I had terrible proctors who sat me facing the rest of the test takers and away from the board. I feel confident that I can get a high 20 or 30 if I don't have old women talking about donuts to each other at very audible levels).</p>

<p>Haven't taken the SAT yet but I am signed up to do it at the next test date. (Also retaking ACT).</p>

<p>I feel I have compiled really great essays and have had them revised by many of the members of the english department at my school.</p>

<p>I am still contemplating submitting a film I did or just sending a short script I did. Part of the reason over this is I live in a secluded area and renting a nice camera is not an option (I don't really want to do point and shoot because the amateur-ish appearance).</p>

<p>My college curriculum would be the following on the application:
Total Credits: 27</p>

<p>Speech
Intro to American Government
English Composition I
English Composition II
Contemporary Film

<p>EC:
