I'm thinking about trying to get into Columbia but its kind of intimidating, they have a lot of really impressive programs and stuff, and on the website they say all the stuff they are looking for in an applicant but do you know what they are specifically looking for on the resumes?
I'm pretty young compared to what they are saying is the average age of their students, is this going to be a problem? If anyone can help me out with this i'd be really cool. Thanks.

This school is great for artistic people who want to explore their talent and really learn how to take their ideas and make them into compelling stories. This is what makes Columbia so unique; while most other schools rush into teaching students about lighting, screenwriting, editing, etc, Columbia film is cultivating the storytelling aspect that is so critical to the most moving films. For this reason, I'd recommend Columbia to anyone who can afford it, and are dedicated to the art of filmmaking, not the science of camera work.
Don't let any school
Don't let any school intimidate you. They just wnat the best people out there, so they keep the application specific so they can tell everyone apart. Columbia is a great school, and its not that expensive comparatively to other places. Just send in to them your best and most creative stuff. That is what they are looking for, talent. If you get to an interview they usually ask questions about your work, so dont try and fake anything, make it 100% you. just show what you can do. Simple as that.
