For those of you who HAVE been accepted to a film school... have you made up your mind of where you'll be going?

And when you do go there... please get back in touch with FilmSchool.org to let us know how the school is and how it's going for you. We don't want to lose you as an active member once this whole application fun business is over with.

Log your film school application with our Application Database so that we can improve our admissions statistics.
