    Admitted (w/o Interview) MFA in Film and Television Producing - 2023

    The application process was really smooth. I really liked the creative prompts that Chapman required for the application. The admissions offices were also very helpful with the questions I asked them.

    Waitlisted (w/o Interview) Chapman University - Directing 2023

    I thought I would be rejected by Directing and maybe have some hope in the second choice, Cinematography. I consider being waitlisted as half of the success in the application, and it definitely gave me so much hope to continue making films.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Chapman cinematography

    I spent allot of time refining essays and working on the short film but I felt Chapman had the best application process. Just made the most logical assignments with minimum creative restrictions. I did not have in interview.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Chapman University MFA in Film and Television Producing

    It was okay I believe. Nothing too out of the ordinary except for the transformational moment video essay which I was editing up till the last minute. Their letter of motivation is limited to 500 words which I personally found a bit difficult because I prefer the 1000 word limit a lot better to...

    Denied (w/o Interview) Chapman MFA - 2023

    When I decided to apply to MFA programs I was going thru it personally but working on my application materials was cathartic. The instructions were easy to follow, but there were a lot of materials that needed to be submitted, and I did run into a tech hiccup after meeting the deadline but the...

    Waitlisted (w/o Interview) Chapman MFA Cinematography Fall 2023

    The application went well, my original plan was to apply for directing but doesn't have enough time to prepare materials, so temporarily changed to the cinematography program. However, I'm very confident with my cinematography portfolio.

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) Application for USC (Fall 2023)

    The application process has been pretty hectic, it is demanding and requires vulnerability for it to stand a chance. I was somewhat paranoid so editing and re-editing led to the submission by the very end of the deadline. I am satisfied with my application though because I know I did it with a...

    Denied (w/o Interview) Chapman - Screenwriting MFA - Fall 2023

    First time applying. Generic enough, in some ways, that I was able to use application materials I used for other schools. Yay! How considerate of them.

    Chapman Fall 2023 All MFA Programs

    Starting this thread for community and questions as we play the waiting game. There doesn't seem to be many of us Chapman folks so this thread is for applicants to all of the MFA programs in the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. I think someone did create one specifically for applicants to...

    Declined Admission (Off Waitlist After Interview) Chapman MFA Screenwriting Fall 2023

    First time applying. I actually had technical issues with the application which was super stressful. One of my recommendations disappeared from my account the day before I wanted to submit and so I had to panic email my recommender and ask them to resubmit which thankfully they did but would...
