How to use the Film School Application Database & Tracker
Thanks to our many members, the FilmSchool.org Application Database and Tracker consists of over 4,000 applications that date back to 2015, making it one of the most advantageous tools on the website. Its basic function is to track film schools’ rates of acceptance, minimum GPAs, accepted test scores, in addition to each program's many notification and decision dates.- Category: FilmSchool.org Guides

Was interviewed but ultimately rejected. It was a huge stretch for me though. I didn't expect to get in, although I was hoping because it was my dream school.

First time applicant! I graduated undergrad in June 2022 and applied for Fall 2024 entry. I didn't get into Fall 2024, but I'm thrilled that I have guaranteed admission for Spring 2025! I'm crossing my fingers that a spot opens up for Fall 2024.
