<p>I'm an FIU student currently and due to some (good) financial news as well as a reevaluation of what I want to study, I'm intensely interested in the FSU film school, (and possibly later on graduate school).</p>
<p>I'm currently in my second semester of college and I'll have 38 credits by the end of the spring term. I want to transfer to FSU as a general undergrad student and finish my "first two years" there, followed by applying to the film major, which according to the FSU site only accepts 5 transfer students, so I feel I'd have a better chance at getting in as a resident student.</p>
<p>I have a few questions about the actual application process:</p>
<p>Are my chances hindered if I apply as intending a motion picture/film major?
How long are SAT scores valid for/do they look at my SAT scores. The last time I took them was in November 2008, same goes for ACT. Should I schedule those tests?</p>
<p>The site says the deadline for transfer applications for Fall 2010 is March 1st, and the next SAT possibility is in March, after the applications are due. Am I too late? Should I be applying for spring instead?</p>
<p>Sadly I don't have an AA so I know my chances are already very low. Would it help more if I transferred as an 'English Major' and then change it to Film after initial acceptance?</p>
<p>Any tips on what I should have on my application would help.</p>
