<p>I am a high school junior taking classes at Seminole State College attempting to earn my A.A. degree concurrently with my high school diploma. I have very good grades in my dual enrollment classes as well as my high school courses (A's and B's only, mostly A's). Right now, my education is going phenomenally well, and chances are I'd have my pick of "practical" career majors at different universities. My problem, though, is that I only want to pursue film. Why is this a problem? I have zero experience in the field. The best film school in the state seems to be FSU, and, wow, it looks incredible. 30 students get accepted into this program each year from what I hear. It is extremely competitive.</p>
<p>So, what's my point? Well, as everyone on this site knows, college is very expensive. I'm searching for scholarships, and I'm more than willing to do whatever it takes to pay for film school if I feel it is a good investment. FSU seems like a perfect choice. My problem is that I cannot seem to find any other film school in Florida that can offer me as much as FSU can without a portfolio (like I said, I have no experience in this field). My question is this: Can a student get into this incredible program on impressive academic achievement and writing skills? All I have is my grades, my courses, my clubs, and a good amount of writing talent. I can get references as well, including an alumni from FSU.</p>
<p>Also, can anyone point out any film schools in Florida that are as impressive as FSU?</p>
