    AFI Directing 2018

    Haha thanks Zeno! Yeah I think I have a good problem to deal with. Man, but the choice is really hard. Even after doing a thorough analysis on both schools, I'm still not sure. Pay more than $100k for a prestigious school like USC or study in a great indie-school like UTA for free. I'm attending...

    Analysis of top Film School Graduate programs - Pros and Cons

    Hello @sharkb8! Yes, I think you're right in most parts. But let me go through each question and try to answer to the best of my knowledge. 1. TA opportunities will be provided to you in your 2nd and 3rd years. But you need to have good academic progress (min GPA 3.0). So incoming MFA students...

    Analysis of top Film School Graduate programs - Pros and Cons

    I thought I'll just post what I've been thinking. I've basically written down some pros and cons of schools that I've been admitted to. Maybe it'll help me/others in some way. Disclaimer - This is just based on my research by speaking to current students and alumni from each schools. But correct...

    AFI Directing 2018

    I'm assuming it's nothing to worry about. We internationals do not qualify for financial aid from what I heard. Hence we can disregard that email. Plus all that financial information is already covered in the prospective interview packet given to us. Our best bet is the AFI scholarship. We'll...

    USC MFA Film and Television Production Fall 2018

    I received the same email today. I'm guessing "Academically eligible" means that the student is accepted but he/she has to show financial proof (roughly upto $63-64k) including tuition and living expenses for first year in order to receive the final offer letter and statement of intent to...

    UT Austin MFA Film Production Fall 2018

    Interesting. Nothing of that sort was mentioned on my admit letter. They just said I need to send my official transcripts prior to registration. Maybe our graduate coordinator can provide additional details about it?
