<p>The problem with being a business major is that there are so many requirements, it is difficult to do a second major. USC does have a Bus Ad degree with an emphasis in Cinematic Arts. But then, it is so structured (blech) you have virtually no room for play.</p>
<p>Well, in all honesty, I probably won’t even be able to go to USC, so…</p>
<p>Hey, when it asks if I am going to take need-based financial aid on the Common App, are they referring to financial assistance for poorer families, or are they just asking if you will accept any money they throw at you?</p>
<p>That’s what double major is. You might as well have one major and have room to take any classes you like. My daughter has cinema major, minor in comp lit, also Thematics Honors and took a bunch of courses that are very helpful today. Like she wanted to be an RA , took the class required for the RA and learn tons of stuff about conflict resolution. I’m not able to convince 2nd kid to take more courses. But I think my oldest had a great education at USC.</p>
<p>I would say financial assistance for qualifying families…which I guess means you will accept any money thrown at you.</p>
<p>As I read through your various threads, I see a young person trying to figure things out. That’s a good thing. My son is a sophomore now. He went in unsure what path to take so. He enrolled as undecided, took classes in his potential interest and found his fit. This may be the way for you to go. Of course, you want a school which offers you the variety you seek.</p>
<p>In the meantime, do what I said earlier. Start filming. Start writing scripts. Film what you can even if it is a bird of prey diving into a lake to pull up dinner. </p>
<p>BTW, I watched Clockwork Orange today.</p>
<p>No it means whether you need financial aid or not. Merit is usually dolled out regardless of your financial situation.</p>
<p>You can qualify if you aren’t a poorer family. And the guaranteed loan is money thrown at you.</p>
<p>Do you know what your EFC is?</p>
