hey everyone - i am trying to get feedback on a peculiar situation...
i am applying to film schools in the fall. there are also some creative writing programs i will be applying to, because writing (both film and fiction) is my primary interest.
in the case of two universities - columbia and nyu - both the film and writing programs are very appealing. officially, on the website, it is not against the rules to apply to both programs.
my question is - in your opinion(s) - if it would reflect poorly on my commitment as a student (which is don't think is quite fair because funding is a big wild card, but they have the power and it's their call really). i can't imagine that they would accept a student into both programs and let him/her pick...has anyone ever heard of this happening?
i want to apply to both and see what kind of offers i get (funding is a lot more available for writing programs, which also have cheaper tuition) - but not at the expense of admission to either school.
i guess i'm just afraid of shooting myself in the foot.
advice most appreciated!!!
