Where to go for Cinema Studies

College Search & Selection

<p>I am going into my senior year of high school right now and I want to major in Cinema/Film Studies when I go to university. I am a Florida resident and not a minority. I have 150 hours of community service, and I will have my AA done with by the time I graduate. So far my GPA in college is a 4.0 and I am going to try my hardest to keep it at that. My unweighted high school GPA will be around a 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9 I think (two semesters I got a C in high school). I have not belonged to any clubs in high school but I am thinking of joining the film club in the fall. Also, I have signed up to take an intro to film course at the college I am getting my AA at. I got an 1840 on the SAT (1220 on just reading and math), but I am taking the SAT again in October and the ACT in September. </p>

<p>Based on all that information, what schools should I apply to? I was considering NYU but that looks incredibly expensive. My family has a pretty good income (120,000?) but I only live with my mother and I think NYU might be difficult - especially with the price of living in New York. </p>

<p>Also, if this helps at all, I am going to try to go to graduate school and eventually get my Ph. D. for cinema studies.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Have you tried looking into West Coast schools? Depends on what you can afford, there are some great private schools in California such as Chapman, LMU, or USC to look into. If cost is an issue, then try public schools such as UCs or CSUs.</p>
