In need of Cinema major!

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Ok, I will be graduating this year and want to major in cinema. I have found San Francisco State University and saw it is supposed to have a rather "elite" film program. My ultimate goal is to become a director and I just want the best education to get me there. As of now I am really thinking SFSU is where to go. However, I thought I would come here and see if anyone has graduated from SFSU's film program or knows about it or knows of other good colleges.</p>

<p>I know there is UCLA... but you need to send in some type of portfolio for the cinema program and it is really hard to get accepted there and quite expensive. Although I know UCLA probably has one of the best cinema programs out there, it just does not seem like a reality for me to get into right away. So please do not suggest UCLA.</p>

<p>I also kind of wanted to go to school in California. I feel going into film and especially wanting to be a director California is kind of the place to be.</p>

<p>Any help would be great. Thanks!</p>

<p>You have not mentioned your scores or GPA. I suggest you explore the website for the School of Cinematic Arts and see if you have the qualifications to apply. The school is housed in a $100 million dollar complex with the latest technological advances along with top notch faculty. </p>

<p>Admission is need blind. Check out the financial aid program at the univesity. </p>
