<p>For film, NYU is a tougher admit than Northwestern. Have you looked at Emerson in Boston, The University of Central Florida or Colorado? Also great programs. The chances of admission depend upon three things: GPA, SAT scores and demonstrated creativity. The better you fare in each category the more likely acceptances you will have. Even if you don’t need a film for each program, you will need a resume. Spend a lot of time NOW creating a great resume and start on your essays. These are ways to make yourself stand out.</p>
