<p>So my dream college used to be hands down Tisch. But, with my mom living in FL now, FSU is wayyyyy more affordable than Tisch. Plus the student life is supposed to be great. Anyways I'm goin to be entering my senior year of HS in pittsburgh this fall. What I am planning on doin is graduating from HS this year, getting my Associate in Arts degree at CCAC (community college of allegheny county) in pittsburgh after 2 years and then transferring over to FSU. I was wondering if somebody could tell md there opinion on my chances. Anyone from FSU would do, but I'd prefer a transfer. BTW, i'm looking at a Bachelor's in Motion Picture Arts - Production.</p>

<p>A few things:</p>

<p>Keep in mind that just having a parent living in FL isn’t sufficient enough to qualify as in-state. It would be rather difficult to make a claim that you’re from FL if you graduated from a high school in PA and then went to a CC there.</p>

<p>Then you have to realize that admission to the film school is seriously competitive, transfer or otherwise (incoming classes are capped at 30 people). </p>

<p>To put it simply, really no matter what your stats, your chances for the program are seriously slim, unfortunately.</p>
