    Films by those Accepted into Top Programs

    Curious, did someone submitted an actual 5-minute short to USC here (and got in)??? Seems like everybody here submitted either a longer film or a music video. I'm asking because I'm actually thinking of making a 5-min short film specifically for USC. I'm thinking if it's not a good idea after all.

    Realistic life after grad school

    Guys, don't count film schools out. Real talented visionary and hardworking student filmmakers do make it. But only just a few of them. Look at the last 5 Oscar's Best Directors: Ang Lee (NYU MFA), Martin Scorsese (NYU MFA), Coen Brothers (NYU MFA), Danny Boyle (Drama/Theatre), and Kathryn...

    Background/Resume For Admissions

    Hi guys, your experiences are very colorful! I love this thread! But how does this all come across the Personal Statement??? Some say to tell a story as your essay, but it seems difficult to tell all of that in one essay - it might seem all over the place. I guess my question is, how do I...

    Grades for the last two years of college

    GPAs aren't that important. Also, you can take the GRE. If you get a really high cumulative score, then that should compensate for the mediocre GPA. However, make sure your cum GPA won't dip lower than 3.0. That's the resident cutoff.

    Hi eccentricmetric, Stark hasn't notified anybody yet. They don't do phone interviews as well. Although we might hear from them this coming week! Good luck to all hopeful Starkies!

    Producer Program Applicants 2010

    Juli, Other applicants called the Stark office about the notifications that were supposedly done tomorrow. Turns out they have a whopping amount of applications this year. 1:15 compare to last year's 1:8, which also means that the acceptance rate is about 6.6% this year.
