If you want to apply to a journalism program I would have these ECs on my application

-Editor in Chief of your school newspaper

-Creator or editor of your schools creative writing journal. If your school doesn't have one, start one.

-Contributing writer to your Hometowns local Newspaper. So that means writing articles that your community reads.

-Submitting creative writing pieces and winning awards for them, either for notoriety or scholarship money.

If you want to apply to a film program I would have these ECs on my application

-HS school videographer

-Content creator on YouTube, TikTok

-Direct and produce your own short films

-Submit your films to various contests and win awards either for notoriety or scholarship money.

-Join or start a film club at your school.

Good luck.
