<p>I am planning to apply to NYU's film school, which I know is highly selective. I have good grades and test scores, but I don't think that really matters all that much when it comes to film school. I have all my stats listed below. The only EC's I have that have any correlation with film school would be my participation in National Art Honor Society and my role as Photographer in Chief for my school's online publication. So without considering the portfolio, how would my lack of EC's that are related to film hurt my chances?</p>

<p>Clubs: I have been a part of FBLA for 4 years. I competed at state and got 9th place in international business. I have been a part of peer tutorial for two years and tutor for about 6 hours per week. I have been in NHS for two years. I am involved in National Art Honor Society. I am also the co-photographer in chief in our school's WORD club, which is essentially an online yearbook. I started a snowboarding club, but it is not officially recognized by the school because of liability issues.</p>
<p>I don't know if this counts as work experience as far as colleges go. But I have been running a tennis stringing business out of my garage since 6th grade. I post ads online and created business cards and the like. This takes up about 1-2 hours a day.</p>
<p>Love,
