Film Production Major

<p>What are my chances to getting into these colleges?</p>

<p>These are my credentials:
GPA: 3.3 (I take Intro to Cinema on a college level, and have taken AP Music Theory)
SAT:1500
Extracurriculars:
-Intern for 16 time Emmy Award Winning Production Company
-Wardrobe Assistant on Independant Feature Film
-Member of the Museum of Modern Art Teen Program
-New York University High School Advanced Art Student
-Assistant Producer School of Visual Art's Undergraduate Thesis Film
-Thespian Society Troupe Secretary
- DECA Officer (international marketing club)</p>

<p>Schools I am applying to:
-NYU
-Pepperdine
-Chapman
-CALARTS
-Loyola Marymount
-Emerson
-California College of the Arts</p>

<p>I also have good recommendations from production company, english teacher, and guidance counselor. My art portfolio is pretty strong, with a variety of different mediums from paintings to video pieces. I also have a good common app essay, supplements, as well as artist statement. The only thing that is really bad is my SAT score and GPA. </p>

<p>I don’t know much about the California schools, but I think you have a great shot at Emerson! You’re in close range with that school academically, and your resume will definitely get you noticed. I think you also have a good chance at NYU too. While you’re a bit on the low side for that school academics-wise, I know NYU Tisch (I’m assuming that’s the school you’re applying to, correct me if I’m wrong!) weighs your application based on 50% academics and 50% portfolio, so you could still totally get in if your talents/accomplishments can make up for your stats. </p>

<p>Best of luck! </p>

<p>In terms of fit, Pepperdine is the odd one out - are you very serious about your faith and ready to sign a pledge/commitment about it?
Another issue is your parents’ budget, since most of these schools don’t meet need.
(Remember that as a freshman, you’re only allowed $5,500 in loans).
You’ll get into one of these schools (probably Emerson), but can you afford to go?</p>
