    Any Screenwriters Applying to Northwestern?

    I checked my status and was rejected on 5/29. I am going to AFI and stopped caring when I sent my deposit in April.

    Differences NYFA vs. AFI???

    I agree, it is strange that these people keep registering just to promote the NYFA. I was planning on attending AFI in the fall but I think I will attend NYFA. Can I teach at NYFA with a MFA from NYFA or do I need a degree from a school with a slightly better reputation? I am sure NYFA is a...

    Hey everybody, I sent my deposit yesterday. I am going to be a Screenwriting fellow. I look forward to meeting you all and working with some of you. I am also looking for housing if anyone needs a roommate.

    any news from Tisch Asia?

    I got rejected from the MFA Film program today but I was accepted in to the Dramatic Writing program with a scholarship. I am more of a writer than a director, so that is not a big surprise.

    UCLA 2009

    I got my rejection e-mail last night. It was my first/weakest application, so it is not a big surprise. Good luck to those of you that interviewed and are still waiting.

    Any Screenwriters Applying to Northwestern?

    I had an interview but my status has not changed. I think they may have chosen their 12 candidates and are waiting for responses. After that they will probably call upon other candidates to fill any remaining spots. I have no evidence to prove this, it is just speculation. I apologize in...

    AFI App for Fall 2009

    I got my e-mail at 8:11 PM LA time. My last name is at the end of the alphabet. I don't know if that is helpful or just adds fuel to the rumor fire. I don't think it was a mass e-mail because it addressed me by first name, but it probably was a template that they slightly modified for each...

    AFI App for Fall 2009

    I had an interview for Screenwriting on Tuesday. It was very relaxed. They were still reviewing a few Producing and Directing applicant's files while I was there. There are probably calls still being made. KayS, I also found your post very helpful. Thanks!
