    How to use the Film School Application Database & Tracker

    Thanks to our many members, the FilmSchool.org Application Database and Tracker consists of over 4,000 applications that date back to 2015, making it one of the most advantageous tools on the website. Its basic function is to track film schools’ rates of acceptance, minimum GPAs, accepted test scores, in addition to each program's many notification and decision dates.

First time applying. As someone who just started pursuing film less than 3 years ago, don't worry about what you THINK they want and how you won't stack up to everyone. Be true to yourself in every part of your application. USC will see that.
