Just got rejected fro Dodge this morning; transfers and current students PLEASE HELP

Title says it all. They don't want me rn :(. My manager is at Dodge for FTVP, and she transferred in after the first semester from some other school, which I think is the best choice for me. I haven't heard back from USC, which is my top top, but I doubt that I'll get in there if I didn't get into Chapman.

I have other acceptances, but I want to go to one of the best schools. I don't see any other path for me.

I'm going to take a few film courses at CC over summer and rake in some more credits at whatever school with have me for Fall 2025, and then reapply with a better resume and better films, etc.

PLEASE any advice would be shmackin ilysm <3 <3 <3
