    Columbia University Film MFA 1st Year, AMA!

    Hi! Thank you so much for all your answers! I have been admitted into the program for fall and you definitely give me a better picture of it. I heard that Columbia's equipments (editing, camera, etc.) were a little outdated a few years ago. Is that still the case today? Have you ever been...

    Columbia Film MFA, Fall 2020 Application

    I received the exact same email! It was from Julie Dobrow of Columbia SOA. I never received a call or an official acceptance email so it appeared strange to me. However, since three of us here have already got the same thing, I'm assuming it is not a mistake. Perhaps it's just a little hectic...

    USC School of Cinematic Arts SCA MFA Film & TV Production Fall 2020

    Hey addik, I'm kinda doing the same thing. Do you know for the visa, is it that we need to prove sufficient savings for one year's fees or for the whole program (I know for acceptance letter it's just one year's but I'm not sure about the visa)? I'm kinda confused here because I hear different...

    USC School of Cinematic Arts SCA MFA Film & TV Production Fall 2020

    Still can't believe I got in! Took a shower yesterday and was imagining how I would do the pulp fiction dance if ever accepted. Finished the shower and got the email! Life is a box of chocolate I guess lol. I really thought I screwed up the interview. This thread helped me so much along the ride...

    Columbia Film MFA, Fall 2020 Application

    Hey guys! Just wanted to ask if we will be given information on who will be interviewing us prior to the interview? I asked a grad student but have't received a reply yet.

    I definitely feel you there. Moving (especially when you're international) needs so much planning! I hope you'll get the chance to move to LA and we hear from them soon:)

    USC School of Cinematic Arts SCA MFA Film & TV Production Fall 2020

    Thank you very much to addik, truffleshuffle and itsnoteasybeinggreen! Definitely helped ease my mind ;) I'm not from the States so I didn't know that thank you note courtesy until recently and it kinda bothered me. I was interviewed by Professor Kellman. As far as I remember, he asked me the...

    USC School of Cinematic Arts SCA MFA Film & TV Production Fall 2020

    Hey guys! Long time lurker here and I am really grateful for the information I've gotten here. I had an interview with USC about a month ago, and am waiting as anxiously as y'all are. During this intolerable process a lot of self-doubting is happening in my head. Among them I wanted to ask you...
