    UCLA - MFA, Fall 2014

    Thanks for the encouragement :) I think the professional program sounds like a great opportunity. If I hadn't done the certificate program through UCLA extension, I would definitely do the professional one. As of now, my plan is to continue writing while working to save money, and then reapply.

    UCLA - MFA, Fall 2014

    Hi! Sorry to respond so late, I unsubscribed from email notifications so I didn't see this until now. I interviewed in person in LA. I was given the choice to do a Skype interview, but ultimately decided to fly in because I had points racked up for a free flight. Good luck in your interview!

    UCLA - MFA, Fall 2014

    I interviewed for Screenwriting a week and a half ago and got an email earlier this week saying I didn't get in. I'm bummed but feel lucky to have had the chance to interview. They did say if you're interviewed, you automatically get into the professional program if you choose to go. I'm not...

    UCLA - MFA, Fall 2014

    Hi. I got an interview email through Gmail and it went straight to my main inbox. I believe they are only doing interviews in NYC and LA, but I'm not 100% sure. Hope this helps :)

    USC Screenwriting MFA Fall 2014 Applicant Unite!

    The program is great in the sense that you get out of it what you put in. My main goal was to get as many writing samples as I could, so I took the spec and pilot classes various times with different teachers. Other people I know prefer to take different classes, like sketch ones, how to...

    2014' Acceptance / Interviews / Rejections

    JFSWLA I wish I could recommend one, but I don't really know any :( My only 'advice' would be to take a writing class somewhere to meet people who would want to form one. The one I'm a part of is just a few people from a class I took, and I'm keeping in touch with them via email for the time...

    USC Screenwriting MFA Fall 2014 Applicant Unite!

    Hi Jennifer :) I loved the program. I had never written anything before enrolling, so I really got a lot out of it. For me, it was definitely worth the money (though I’ve heard classes have gone up a bit in price since I left). I left the program with 4 scripts: 2 specs of an existing show...

    UCLA - MFA, Fall 2014

    I responded to them saying I preferred to interview in LA. I haven't heard back yet. What about you? There's some info on the interview process in previous threads. As for the percentage, I think it depends on the year. But I'm not really sure.

    UCLA - MFA, Fall 2014

    I got an email for an interview at UCLA (Screenwriting). I'm from Miami and I've read in previous threads that the East Coast gets contacted first, so... no need to get nervous yet :)
