Hi, all, I know I might be starting this a little early, i just finished my second year in undergrad. And I know I want to apply to Tisch graduate film program, and it's kind of all eggs in one basket situation. If i don't get into Tisch, I promised my parents I would give up my dream on film directing.
BUT big problem is that my GPA isnt that great, at all. i know i still have a whole year to raise it up before I apply, but i think the safe bet is I can raise it up to a 3.0, 3.1, something like that. but that still isn't good enough, my major (an interdisciplinary major i set up in film studies and filmmaking) will be around 3.7 though. so i really don't know how i can come about this problem.
i called tisch graduate admission. they said they dont have a minimum requirement and its not necessary to write any letters explaining my situation. but i still feel like it's safer to explain why i got the bad grades that i did, you know just in case.
i know a lot of you guys have had good experiences in applying for grad. film programs. so just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on this???
Thank you soo much!
