AS for the summer program, it couldn't hurt, because you could get to meet people involved with the program and show interest.

Oh congrats! Did you get accepted for film school, if so did you send in a reel/portfolio of anykind?

Yes, I got into the film school and they wanted several things.
More letters of recomndation.

A list of project worked on(not the projects and I've heard it is best if the list has mostly non-film work on it.)

and a writing sample.

Do you know why they would want non film work on it, if one were applying for film? Doesnt make sense to me.Dont they want to see you work?

no, for some reason USC will not look at a portfolio. Why, I don't know. My best guess would be to level the playing field for people with less than stellar equipment but great ideas. Personally, I think writing about film and creating it are so completely different that I dont know how they expect talented students to come out of SC, but i guess it works for them.
