It's my first time applying to UCLA's screenwriting MFA, Feature Track. I applied with two full-length screenplays. One is a hitman feature, and the other is a drama that follows a director and author. Both are set in Los Angeles.

Even though USC is my strategic future plan and I didn't get through it, UCLA has been my childhood dream university since I was 15! So I would be even happier to get into UCLA!
