Second time applying to Graduate School. Got accepted and enrolled to Columbia MFA Directing/Screenwriting in Fall 2018, but deferred because of the overall cost.

How has the application process gone so far?

Probably my favorite graduate school...

Hey, I also just got accepted to Stony Brook's MFA program (screenwriting)! Congrats! I'm waiting to see about other applications I have in, but I was really impressed by the interview I had with them and everything I've heard online/otherwise about their program. Would love to hear more about why it's your favorite.

OMG! Congratulations!! I'll send you a private message. :)
 
Hey! I just had my TV Writing interview at Stony Brook! I really, really love the program and was so impressed with the info session a few months back. They are in my top choices for sure.
 
Hey! I applied to Stony Brook’s MFA program as well. Congrats on your acceptance! Would you mind sharing some of the questions that they asked you?

Ooh, good luck! :)

They asked me about the process of shooting my short film, what my worst set experience was, the kinds of stories I want to shoot in NYC (since I'm an international), and ultimately, what my goal is for going to grad school! No trick questions whatsoever. They really just wanted to get to know ~me.

I hope your interview goes great, too! Are you applying for Directing, as well?

Thanks so much for your answer! I’m an international as well (from Spain) and Stony Brook is definitely one of my top choices. It’s good to hear that they ask straightforward (no tricky) questions.

I submitted my application on Jan 15 for Producing but still haven’t heard back from them, we’ll see how it goes! 🤞🏻
