Second time applying, but initially applied for Cinematography last year. I interviewed with Sandy Stern and Nikit Doshi. Sad I was waitlisted, but I think I would be a lot more upset if I hadn't...- mgm0286

Application 'Chapman - Directing MFA Fall 26'
Application was relatively straightforward. Only bothersome part was the self portrait video but that’s more of a reflection of me than the program itself- mysterionsleftnut

Application 'DRAMATIC WRITING MFA FALL 2026 NYU TISCH'
It's gone well! I completely rewrote my pilot like three days before it was due, which probably wasn't the best decision, but I ended up being really happy with it. I had two really solid...- toucanna

Application 'AFI Screenwriting - 2026'

This is my first time applying for an MFA, the only other college I applied to is USC, the application for Chapman was quite simple on the surface but took several reworks to get the best creative output I would assume is required to crack the process.
