    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.

I am curious about the motivations of people applying to an MFA despite having not just experience in the film industry, but rather a career with a track record. I've noted that AFI attracts more than a few from people already working in the industry. It would seem (though I may be naive on this point) that a conservatory program or even other MFA program isn't giving those students that much more training than they're already getting by working. Especially given the price tag. What is the appeal over continuing on the established career path? I did some granular research and didn't find a correlation of IMDB credits from before and after. Not judging specific motivations but I am wondering about the different motivations that brings the various people to that particular program. Thanks in advance.
