Marshall has slipped in the rankings, which does matter if you're forking out a large chunk of money and quitting your job to attend, in my personal opinion. As someone who wants to stay in CA long-term, I didn't apply to Marshall for that reason. However, at the same time, if you're set on the film industry, and aren't going to explore anything else (say, tech), it could be a perfect fit.
I agree with the above poster that said to just see where you get in and go from there. Having gone through the process, you may or may not have a choice on which school (of the ones you've applied to) you'll be attending. Just be sure to do your research and choose a few schools that you would attend IF it was the only school that you were admitted to. Best of luck!
Thanks! So here's the situation, I've been admitted for Marshall (and a few others) and wait listed by NYU but feel pretty good about my odds. I was toying with the idea of Kellogg just to see if I got in but I'm not sure if it's worth it due to the overwhelming arrows pointing to SC. I wanted everyone's input to all this to be completely objective hence the omission of this before.
All that said, I am dead set on film and want the absolute best possibility of attaining connections within studios around Hollywood.
