Have I missed something?

[Cine]

Yesterday I made choice of which film schools I'm going to apply to. They are Chapman, FSU and CalArts. I decided not to apply to USC or NYU, because of tuition ($45000 is max), so I'll try to get in one f them after receiving BFA degree. My question is are there any another good film schools, which I missed? And could you give me some advices and thoughts about applying to Chapman, FSU and CalArts? It would be very helpful.

Thank you for paying attention

NYU will tell you what your scholarship is when they accept you. Standards are around $9,000 for merit.

Grad school at NYU is nearly the same as undergrad, and they don't recommend you do both.

Well, I still don't want to take a risk. I also need to save some money for graduate program.

please do remember that you cant do both grad & unundergrad film school (at least both in production).

The risk is only the cost of an application. That's like, what, $60?

It's stupid to pass up on a great school because of the tiny chance that you'll have wasted an application. There's a very high chance you'll get a scholarship, reducing the cost to below your parents' cut-off, and a very low chance that you will not receive one, wasting a few dollars and a couple hours worth of time. There's no choice at all.

Yeah, I understand this. But I could apply to Chapman and get the same scholarship, what would make it $30000-33000 for me to pay.

I still think the best way will be, if I apply to NYU after receiving BA.

P.S. Could you please give me any advices for appling to Emerson?

Sorry, but what you mean?

But you might not get in everywhere. This is very much a game of chance. Best to apply everywhere and then find out. I applied to seven schools, and got into NYU and Emerson.

You're right. But right now I feel myself very confident. I'll most likely apply to Chapman, Emerson, CalArts, FSU and UTA. BTW, do you know anything about UTA or CalArts undergraduate program?

 

[titaniumdoughnut]

Okay cool. I just wanted to make sure you'd considered everything

Thanks. Did you apply to Emerson before getting into NYU?

 

[titaniumdoughnut]

Of course. I applied to all of the schools at the same time
