<p>so, I'm 17 and I already applied to all my colleges but don't know where I've been accepted. I didn't apply to schools based on film, because I've only recently realized that I might be interested. Is it too late? Is it incredibly hard to get into film graduate schools? which of my colleges would be good for a double major in film and psychology (I have in the past been incredibly interested in child psychology)

<p>Vassar, Wesleyan, and SUNY Binghamton have film and developmental psych courses. I would rank them in that order, with Vassar at the top.</p>
<p>Why did you change interests? Child psych is the most important subject there is.</p>
<p>It's a tough choice. In terms of star power Vassar can boast thirties screen actress, Jean Arthur ("Mr. Smith Goes To Washington"), Meryl Streep and veteran character actress, Frances Sternhagen among it's alumna. Ms. Arthur taught at Vassar for many years.</p>
<p>Wesleyan has a broad network of hot, young alum known as the Wesleyan Mafia, both in front of and behind the camera, including at least one Oscar nominated screenwriter in three of the last five years: Akiva Goldsman ("A Beautiful Mind"), Shari Springer Berman ("American Splendor"), and Paul Weitz ("About A Boy"). Another Oscar nominee, Joss Whedon ("Toy Story") is a loyal alum who makes frequent visits to campus.</p>
