Hello, everyone!

I am planning to apply for grad schools in USA.
Since I got a lot of info from this forum,
I think you could give me the best advice for my last choices.

Here is my list:

CALARTS
CAPMAN
SAIC
OU
SFSU
UWM
SFAI
RIT
SIUC

Because I was totally new to the schools in USA, I've been reseaching the US News, Film School Confidential, Filmmaker.com and this forum. I wish I would be accepted any of those, but I do not actually know there is any 'safety' school for me. My GPA 3.2

Could you give me advice?

I'm not sure what all those abbreviations stand for, but you should probably apply to as many schools as you can that you feel are a good match for the specific things you want to do with film, and if you're fortunate enough to be accepted to more than one, ask for advice about which one to choose then.

Thanks, bredonb.
Here again.

CALARTS : California Institute of the Arts
CHAPMAN : Chapman University
SAIC : Art Institute of Chicago
OU : Ohio University
SFSU : San Francisco State Unicersity
UWM : University of Wisconsin Madison
SFAI : San Francisco Art Institute
RIT : Rochester Institute of Technology
SIUC : Southern Illinois University - Carbondale

Briefly introduce myself :
- BA degree of 4-year university
- 12 years experience as a free lance web designer
- some experience as a spot editor for a feature
- HD short (30'), synthetic DV short (9')
Award-winning DV short (4')

I don't know whether I am qualified for any of schools above. It must be depending on my SOP or supporting materials. However, before applying those schools, I thought I should have known about the schools.

Any Idea?

I'm sure you messed up when you put UMW as Rochester Institute of Technology instead of University of Wisconsin Madison.
CalArts and Chapman have to very good Masters programs, but I don't know much about the others.

Do a search n Southern Illinois Carbondale. Myself and a former board member wrote about our experiences with the school.
