    Hi everyone! I just joined FilmSchool.org today. I see that USC and Chapman will review freshman applications for people who don't get into their film production programs. All I see on UCLA is a general statement about how they don't commit to looking at your second choice major. Does anyone...

    Apart from getting into AFI (Editing), I have gotten into Loyola Marymount University too. It's a 3-year Film and TV Production MFA course, with an emphasis on Editing.
