Enrolling in film school can be challenging and time consuming. This is especially true for very competitive film schools like NYU. However, many will endure those challenges to ensure they get into the best film school out there. Here are some steps you can follow to help you along the way.

• Create and re-create your resume. It is imperative that when you are applying to a competitive film school, that your resume is top notch. You want to include as much film experience as possible on your resume to show the school that you are dedicated to learning and developing.

• Create interesting short films or movies. Part of the admissions process is to submit short films to the school, so you want to make sure they are unique and exciting. When you are making the short films, ask yourself ‘is this something that you really want to do, are you really interested in this process?’ If so, then continue on. On the other hand, if you are struggling or just aren’t sure, then maybe this isn’t the career path you want to take.

• Do well in school, and keep impressive grades. Competitive film schools look at more than if the film you created is interesting. They look at your grades too. Schools like this want to ensure their students will be able to excel academically as well.

• Finally, you want to ensure that the essay you write is great. Most competitive film schools require you to write an essay as part of their admission requirements, and this essay should show the passion you have for film. They also want to see what you will bring to the table. Will you bring something new and exciting, or will you be like every other applicant? If you are able to show your passion and show them some diversity and excitement, you will have an advantage over the other applicants who are applying during the same time you are.

Applying to a competitive film school can be stressful and challenging. However, keeping these steps in mind can help you through the process.
