<p>Does anyone know if it is easier to get into graduate film school at USC or NYU if you were an undergraduate film major? I've always wanted to go to film school at USC, but because of cost and an amazing scholarship that came my way, I was unable to attend for undergraduate. I would love to attend as a grad student (screenwriting) but don't know if the fact that I didn't go to a film school undergraduate will help me. I'm currently going to attend a liberal arts college and be a media studies and psych undergrad.</p>
<p>One of the main differences between an undergrad and grad film program - in particular, NYU's program, because that is what I'm most familiar with, is that there are more students in the undergrad versus less in the grad. Usually, undergrad film grads do not need to pursue an MFA in film, because in their case, it would be repetitive, unless, of course, there was a specific reason for them to do so. I know that many BFAfilm grads are already working in the industry, so taking an MFA in film wouldn't be necessary.</p>
<p>FWIW, a good link to all film schools in USA, CA, and International: </p>
