Hi...some of you might laugh when reading this :-(

my question is...is it possible to get accepted and transfer from a community college to a film school (USC, UCLA, NYU etc...):
- without having any technical experience in film (i don't know how to edit, how to operate lightings etc), i never did any short, feature films etc...
- without extracurricular related to film all i have is very good grades (only A's and one B), and some personal work i did such as
- with a small work experience (As a foreign student, i am not allowed to work in the US...so i never had a job for really long)

the only positive thing i have is:
- a good academic standard... only A's and one B.
- personal creative works: 3 scripts for short films, 1 play, 1 documentary, 13 treatments or scripts for commercials.

I was hoping that i could convince them with the essays they require...but what worries me is my very weak technical experience and unexistent extracurriculum.

Thanks for taking time to read and answer this :-)

i am going to say you probably could get in as long as your marks are good. i know a girl who got into NYU and all she had as far as film work was a storyboard.
