<p>Well I'm a high school senior that basically applied to reach schools. 5 universities in total 3 reaches 2 safeties. was rejected by all my reaches (USC, UCLA, and NYU) and got into my two safeties(Concordia and University of Bridgeport) My High school transcript is pretty good in my opinion, could be better, tons of leadership activities and APs. Anyway I am now left with 2 schools i wished i would have not applied to. They both really suck, i get what people mean now when they say apply to safeties you like. Anyway neither college offers a major in film production, which also is a let down. I wish I would have guessed how competitive college admissions were, or at least been counseled right on the matter.</p>
<p>Anyway I'm leaning towards Concordia because they are offering me a full scholarship, and I will walk away debt free, and can save up money for NYU. Anyone have any tips on how to transfer, what classes to take, and how to make myself competitive again through Concordia. I wanted to stay all four years at one university, but I know Concordia will not challenge me enough and for that reason I wish to transfer in two years to NYU film school.</p>
<p>What will make my application stand out for NYU film? What should I be doing my 2 years before transferring? Should I contact NYU about my intent to transfer, or just tell Concordia? I will also apply to other schools. I know now not to put all my eggs in one basket so to speak. Also will my grades and leadership activities in high school be completely useless, or can I still list them on my application? NYU film is a 4 year program, will I have to make up for the two years I missed there? Will I have to graduate late?</p>
<p>Anyway thanks for reading and if you can be of any help, please don't hesitate to respond!</p>
<p>The NYU (Tisch) Film Program is fairly intensive, beginning the first year with production courses along with liberal arts. In the past, students have not been required to study a language or take math, science or history courses in order to receive the BFA in Film. I would check the course requirements on the NYU Tisch Film website to get a better idea of which freshman/sophomore courses would most likely transfer. Good luck.</p>
<p>Also make sure your club activities in college suits your film interests. I am not sure they will accept you for a 4-year program. You should call and ask an admissions counselor from Tisch. Since none of your safety schools have a film program, you should also apply for other safety schools for transfer that do have a film program. Your activities in high school would not be useless, they check it extensively, especially if you transferring after one year after college.</p>
<p>I believe you can still apply for an rolling admissions school right now so you can stick to a film program.</p>
<p>well right now I really want to stick with concordia since they are giving me so much aid...free housing, tuition, books,etc, but I've already set up a internship with a film production company in culver city, and I plan to make short films and submit them at film festivals around southern california in hopes they collect some awards. I will call NYU and ask them about transferring and what they think is the best route. Thanks for all your help guys!</p>
<p>SAT policies for transfer students differ from each university. For NYU, they do consider SAT scores taken from high school but not ones taken in college. </p>
<p>You should take the SAT though if another school you would like to apply for transfer considers SAT score taken after high school. </p>
<p>As a film student, I suggest to be yourself and do not seek to impress. Create your own style that you like. Be creative. Experiment whenever something hits your curiousity side. Show that you are not like any average film student. </p>
