Hello,
Can anyone tell me the likelyhood of me getting into the RTF program at moody college at UT Austin? I have already submitted my application for the priority decision and hope to hear back soon but would like some insight from someone either in the program or who knows a good deal about it.
I am a white female from a large competitive high school in the Dallas TX area. My extracurricular include 12 years of cheerleading, Student Council, an animal rights awareness club, and I am a 1 year member of my schools broadcast class. My weighted GPA on a 5.0 scale is a 4.86 and my weighted GPA out of a 4.0 scale is a 3.77. On my ACT my highest is a 28. I am an A/B student but am not provided a rank at my school.
If anyone has any tips or advice for me or has any idea of how good or bad my chances of getting in are, please let me know as they are much appreciated.
I’m wondering the same thing. My son (white OOS) applied RTF on October 29. He is very involved with a number of activities, won state for his video presentation for BPA, numerous awards for photography, captain of lacrosse team, head of the daily news show for school, started a charity for homeless people while being a school mentor for underclassmen. His ACT is 28, GPA 3.9 and in the top 20%. Based on what I am reading on other posts, the fact that is OOS, off the bat is against him. His essay and short answers were not works of art, but true to who he is and very well done. I am getting nervous that he will get rejected and he will be heartbroken. Waiting until February is going to be very tough!!!
My son applied in early October to Moody RTF as well. Similar stats to your son, 31 ACT, 3.82UW GPA, 4.46W GPA. 7 total AP’s. Also submitted one short film he directed, one original short screenplay he wrote and a few other minor videos he produced. Sent in detailed resume and three recommendations too. Hopefully it’s enough to get in but one never knows. Very competitive program with limited OOS spots. Fingers crossed we will hear soon.
I am also applying to RTF, Good luck to you both.
DS applied to RTF and P2. Haven’t heard anything yet. IS (AA), Asian, with relevant EC’s.
Did any of you apply to other film schools?
