<p>The road to admissions to a film school is long and arduous. I would know, having been recently accepted, and having begun my freshman year. Most of you want to know your chances, what makes my application better? What can I do to improve? The best thing to do is to try your best. I know that sounds like a scape goat answer - so I will refer you to this old post that is probably one of the best and most helpful out there:</p>
<p>However, the main topic of this post is to warn potential film students of a website called filmschoolapps.com. This website claims to be available to review film applicants and tell them what to improve on, however - this is not affiliated with any film scholars - nor is it associated with USC ( the students claim to be undergrads in the School of Cinematic Arts). Please do not submit your films here - there is a financial charge - since the feedback you will receive will be more detrimental than anything else. What the school's admission staff looks for is unknown to even the most senior students. Try hard and see. DO NOT fall for programs like this - instead consult a teacher or trusted friend, there feedback will be better. Thank you and warn the others.</p>
