I have three targets to prepare study aboard, I write down here and hope get some suggestion. The reason I need to clarify me dreams because I need to know Which One is my best path to achieve and real good for me in the future career :

1. Harvard University, Department of Visual Environmental Studies, they offer PHD in Film Studies, you can get the best reputation in the best university in this world. Furthermore, the apply condition in the toughest way (Full TOEFL and GRE, Two foreign languages abilities required, I don't know may I count in Chinese? ). For future career, you only be a teacher or professor in the school and hope some day you will be the college principal or government minster something. Good name, but with no reality benefit.

2. University of Southern California, School of Cinema Art, Peter Stark Producing Program offer the MFA degree to open your career in the Hollywood, you can touch the real film business there, some kind like contact to the producers in HBO, Disney, FOX...etc, any major studios you can name it. Actually it's my dream school, but once you out of that environment (the Hollywood), your degree is nothing. This school is much like job fair, but you still no easy to get in, SCA is the top of film school in the world, it even harder to apply in VES at Harvard.

3. Standford University, Juris Doctor in Standford Law School, I would like to concentrate in filed of the intellectual property. It's totally difference than any my training in Taiwan (out of film). No need I can tell what the Standford University looks like, you are not only need the best grades in TOEFL, but also in LSAT. The only few people in the top level could be get into this school. Otherwise, it is close to the famous Silicon Valley, which means the environment there is extreme boring and expensive. If You want to stay in the California, you better to pass the bar exam, it's nightmare all I have to say, but it's well pay in the future if you can be a lawyer.

Somehow I put other purposes in my pocket, such like study Visual Effect in the Vancouver Film School, but now I prefer to study useful skill to face the society, so I have to cut this dream off. Or I want to to study Cognitive Neuroscience in the MIT, I always treat this idea like a joke, I deeply believe myself that I never be the type of scientist or medical doctor something.

So, What do you suggest? Please let me know and thank you anyway.
