<p>I'm from D.C. so I had never really heard of it until I started looking at film schools. Is their English program good? Are they a good school in general?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I'm actually applying to LMU for film school. I'm unfamiliar with their English department though. Their film school focuses primarily on Hollywood style. It qualifies as being very good, a step below Chapman in the ranks. USC and UCLA rejects mostly go either there or Chapman to pursue a degree in film. It's a couple of minutes away from LA so internships are abundant and easily feasible. Alumnus will probably be listed on their official website. Aside from the great film school, they have a beautiful campus with lush palm trees and wonderful weather. They have a "bluff" meaning a hill overlooking LA. It is an excellent choice for film if you don't get accepted to the high caliber schools.</p>
<p>Really? I plan on doing the same. I know you have to do a separate essay for the particular school but I don't think they even encourage sending in a portfolio. What do you hope to focus on? I hope to write.</p>
<p>I want to direct. I'd like to do film AND tv there...take some screenwriting classes as well. And you are correct, they don't take portfolios in. I forgot to add some stuff...</p>
<p>Unlike USC and UCLA, you get to own your films. The average transfer GPA for the film school is a 3.4 while USC/UCLA is a 3.7. Kay, I think I covered it all now.</p>
