If you decide that you really DO want to go to film school, but are afraid you might not get in right away...it couldn't hurt to take a couple of classes locally...it will show the admissions office at anywhere you apply that you're motivated, and really want it.
In addition, definately get involved on projects like Mr. S said...I'm sure if you apply to film school, they're going to want to see what kind of work you've done...so start building up material to show them :) I would also say that an internship would be a smart move....also...make some short films and enter them into local festivals,etc...my friend just did this and had a great time...also picked up an award :) It's a great way to let people at your prospective college know how badly you want it...and it's also going to give you an edge over other applicants...plus you're going to gain confidence in yourself once you realize you're capable of accomplishing these things.
Good luck and don't give up...one of my old professors once told me that there's a way into ANY college...you just have to keep at it....he got rejected from Harvard 3 times...so he should know ;)In any situation you might encounter, persistance is the key.:)

Also good advice. thanks :)
I'm not going to worry about film school right now though. I guess I'll decide whether or not to go to one after I've gained some experience, talked to a few more people who went to a film school, try to find the best one for me etc.
