improving my USC CINEMA App?

<p>Hey everyone,
I am in my second year of CC in Texas. I want to transfer to a Film School. So far I am thinking USC, UCLA, or UT Austin.
my GPA is 4.0
33 credits so far not including this semester, will be 45 by end of this semester.
Member of Phi Theta Kappa.
Student Mentor.
And I have a music video that recently played world wide and I was interviewed about it on CNN International.
I also have an internship with a local production company.</p>

<p>Can you guys give me advice not only just my chances, but any advice on making my application look good?
Anything would help
thanks,
Ali</p>

<p>I think your chances are as good as anyone else’s- I think everything rests on what you bring to the table as an individual.</p>

<p>Coincidentally, I am also from TX and applying to USC and UCLA for transfer. :)</p>

<p>My best advice would be to stop worrying about making your application look good and start having a conversation with admissions about why you chose the school and what you have to offer. That’s what I’m trying and do.</p>

<p>I think a lot of people with impressive stats on here ultimately get rejected because they are trying too hard and come off as hollow and one-dimensional. I think you just have to really sit and contemplate what SCA wants and what you have to offer and see where those two things line up. Then tell them in a way that is compelling for YOU. And skim off the fat as much as possible.</p>

<p>Just a thought. :)</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
