Ok, but I think I should know something about directing TV sitcoms, because it can be my way to Hollywood (like what had Spielberg to start his career).

The summer programs usually do help with admissions. Having been at the NYU summer program is an almost certain shot at admissions for the regular program.

That's great, but what if I have only 3.6-3.8 GPA and my test scores are not as high as USC requires and still I got in their summer program? Will they accept me?

Should I talk to someone, who had already graduated from college?

No one can really say for sure. I don't know if USC is as friendly toward their summer-school students as NYU is...

I will send my application to ACCD (it's #1 for me), NYU, USC, FSU, Cal Arts, Chapman, Emerson, Academy of Art University, Columbia University NY and North Carolina School of Arts.

I am trying to e-mail ACCD and USC, but they don't reply me

I really need someone who graduated from ACCd and USC. Do you know anybody there who did it?

BTW, when are you goung to gradute from NYU?

Afraid I don't know any grads from those school...

I'm graduating NYU in 2009.

Nice list you've got! Good luck!

Alright, I will try to find them myself. BTW, where is Hoeks (this guy had been posting here some time before)?

Cool, I will get in college in 2009.

Thanks.

So as you say, I should take all tests by my school graduation, am I right?

Yeah, it's best to take all your tests around December before your graduation. You definitely want to start preparing by reading the Kaplan book months in advance though.

I don't know where Hoeks is lately. I talked to him a few times before he moved out to LA, but I haven't heard from him since then.

But if I take them before I am 18, how will it effect on changing my ladt name?

Oh...

BTW, what are your test scores?

What are you going to do after university graduation?

How much pages should be in my essay or resume?

Should I have some previous experience in filmmaking except high school summer program?

And how did you make this slideshow (NYU narrative photo project)? What camera did you use?

I have no idea what will happen if you change your name. Sorry.

My scores were 800 verbal, 590 math, and then on the SATIIs: 750 writing, 700 literature, and 650 history.

Your essay has to be a certain number of words. They put everything on their website to make it clear. Your resume should be as long as you like

You don't need any experience in film, so don't worry about that.

Are you referring to Fluorescent Justice or the slideshows at this page?

Either way, I made those with a 35mm slide camera and some fancy editing

I don't know what I'm going to do after graduation just yet - it depends on what's going on when I get there. If I'm making the movies I want to be making, cool, if not, I'll find something to do until I am. Maybe a masters degree, maybe a job in the industry.

I think I should better take all exams and send aplication after school graduation. I will have enough time to do all this stuff (including changing name). Do college accept 19 years students (I mean, won't it matter, if I try to enter college after my 19th birthday)?

That's pretty high I would say.

Thanx.

That's great. Is there any another summer program beside NYFA?

I loved the one with crime deal, it had great vissual stile and lightning. What the exact type of camera (and company name) did you use?

Is all this stuff with photo project necessary in requirement of film colleges?

I hope you'll become famous director

BTW, am I allowed to send my short films to different student festivals during college education?
