Question by Alex Haynes: What college film program is right for me?
I’m about to start my senior year of high school and I know the only field I want to work in is film. Unfortunately I did a little slacking off in high school and now only have a GPA of 2.5. Most film colleges want at least a 3.5, and I have yet to take my SAT’s or ACT’s. I don’t have any specials awards won except in middle school I won 1st place at a State competition for acting in a little skit with a buddy of mine. Other than that I only have 3 years of TV production class with all A’s, and a 4th on the way. I LOVE film and I don’t want to do anything else, so its all a matter of what I need to do to get into a respected film college, where I can make something of my life long dream of working in the film industry.
My writing skills aren’t the greatest though when asked to write in high school, I feel like I’m writing a blockbuster hit (seriously i get into it) but it always comes back with C+ (Critics Right?). I love being in front of the camera but honestly I’m not sure if I can actually act or my mommy just thinks I’m special.
So what do you think where could I go, I’ve looked a full scam i mean sale haha, NYU and FSU but NYU seems CRAZY to get into and FSU doesn’t look to promising either, not with my resume.
please any info would help!!!
