USC SCA Admission concerns

<p>Hello all...</p>

<p>I'm a high school junior looking to attend USC SCA (or other LA-area film school). I'm aware of the Film and TV production major being a talent-based major, but just how talent-based is it?</p>

<p>My grades are average (though above average intelligence, I am at fault for not giving 110% in my classes, which are all AP and Honors). </p>

<p>I have a few film festival wins/places and lots of experience in independent film/media production, as well as nearly having to teach my school's film/TV production program. </p>

<p>I do paid work for people/programs (e.g. police department, weddings, speakers, etc). I'm going to take an Adobe certification test soon. </p>

<p>So, just how talent-based is the admissions process? 'What are my chances?'</p>

<p>Thanks,
Matt</p>

Hey! I’m looking to attend USC SCA, too. Out of curiosity, what camera do you shoot with?
