I’m thrilled to announce a significant upgrade to the Admissions Statistics on FilmSchool.org, a milestone made possible by our dedicated Supporting Members and the more than 5,000 entries logged in our application database.
We’ve introduced a suite of powerful new tools to both our application and program-specific pages, now including 45 charts that break down admission rates by undergraduate degree, age, re-applicant frequency, portfolio, and more. We’ve also added comprehensive interview data, highlighting common questions and admission rates based on performance. Most excitingly, our brand-new Scattergrams now allow you to visualize your chances of admission based on Film Experience and GPA. Since all of these new insights are made possible by crowd sourced data, I encourage everyone to log their own applications to help keep these insights accurate and helpful for all.
In order to fully utilize all of these new features, you need to be a Supporting Member. Prices will be increasing on 5/1 for new subscriptions so be sure to lock in the lower rates now.
Without further ado, here is a list of some of the new features and charts available to Supporting Members.
See exactly where your application stands in real time.
At the top of every application in our database (when GPA and Film Experience are entered), you’ll now see an interactive scattergram showing how that applicant compares to thousands of others for the same program.
These charts reveal powerful patterns and trends that help you understand what actually improves your chances and even give you a realistic picture of who would be in your cohort if accepted.
Below are real examples of the charts and insights you’ll gain as a Supporting Member.
NOTE: These example charts are drawn from actual stats across many different programs in our database.
