Is your username in reference to the Brian Jonestown Massacre?

I know for a fact that I'm applying to:
Chapman
UT Austin

I am strongly considering applying to:
Boston University
Emerson

My long shot, might apply just for the hell of it:
NYU

I'm going to be a Junior in Fall 2010 and my GPA will be about a 3.3 or 3.4 so getting into NYU seems nearly impossible, but I am a strong writer so I would be hoping that maybe a good writing sample could help.

I would apply to UCLA since their program starts Junior year anyway, but they have a lot of requirements you have to meet before you can enter the program w/ general education, and I don't think I will have them met.
I'm not applying to USC because I want to go into Screenwriting and their program takes 4 years regardless and I don't want to be doing my undergrad for 6 years.

I'm also a transfer applying for Fall 2010
I'm also considering NYU Chapman UT Austin and some other schools
It's tough for me to apply as an international transfer and I start tooooo late.
Anyway, I'm still working on choosing schools and writing essays.

@mikeg: no it's a reference to the first film from Eli Roth, it came out a few years ago.

@chellya: I'm transfering from Miami Dade College, it's a 2-year college here in Miami, FL.

@Topo: Although USC is hard to get into regardless of the major, I would still apply to NYU because your artistic portfolio might overcome your GPA, due to the whole 50/50 thing NYU has with Tisch.

Columbia College in Chicago?
Judging by the style of school choices you seem to be going for, I'd say look into Chapman and Emerson

Not Columbia College in Chicago but Columbia College Hollywood in California. I was also thinking Chapman but I have yet to take a look at Emerson. I will inquire about it more. Thanks for the recommendations.

Hey cabinfever, what is the 50/50 thing you are referring to with NYU and Tisch?

Also, I just finished my application to Cal State Long Beach. Still need to apply to Chapman and UT and decide if I want to apply to Emerson, BU, and NYU

As far as acceptance into NYU goes, 50% will rely on your academics, activities, etc. and the other 50% will be judged by your portfolio.
