Hey everyone,

I'm a walking heart attack these days, but I'm finding some serious catharsis in our collective anxiety over admissions. You're all the best, and I'm excited for this to be over so we can breathe a little easier.

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