The big 6 programs

Hi everyone,
As I was reading the topic "Applying 2010". Jayimess' comment gave me this idea.
I'd like to know about the differences in the programs of this big scholls.
AFI, USC, UCLA, NYU, CHAPMAN, COLUMBIA.

For, as Jayimess said, "film school should be about the best fit for you, not the "big name".
 
Alice,

This is a great question and I'm glad that you're looking into what you call the Big 6. Just a suggestion to help aid you in your quest for knowledge:

1. You might want to do some research on these schools via their websites.
2. I would also look into emailing the Faculty/Graduate advisor and ask probing questions.
a. How many people apply to programs each? Etc etc.
3. You might want to do a search using the find (magnifying glass) feature and see what others have posted in the past.



I hope this helps. Good luck with the application process.

Silverlenz
