Congrats! Don't think acceptances would come in waves since it's 4 right? Oh well, it was a good run.

Thank you!! I also applied to Stony Brook TV Writing, LMU TV Writing and Producing, and DePaul Creative Producing. This was (surprisingly) the first decision I got back

Did you just hear back via email or also on the application portal? Wondering if we should be giving up hope if we haven't received an email yet lol

+ no other notification yet. Based on reading previous years' threads, I half-expected a phone call, but all I got was an email

congratulation on your acceptance mate, great opportunity, I'm sure you deserved it.
It would be great if you mind to share your materials like CV, sample of works, SOP's and... to see and get inspired for next year enrollment.

I heard back from DePaul but only for screenwriting, so I can’t speak to the timeline of the creative producing program! DePaul seems so expensive though!!!!

What is the usual class strength of MFA screenwriting class?

It does!! But I'm from IL and I love Chicago, definitely think it's a great place to be in

Hey all—just got my rejection from Northwestern. At least they didn’t drag it out! Congrats to those who got in.

Got my denial too. Hoping for the best for the remaining candidates.

Are there any other colleges that offer Master's in screenwriting with scholarship, any help is greatly appreciated.

I believe UC Riverside does. I am waiting on a decision from them, not sure if they’ve gone out yet.
