Columbia Film School MFA Applicants 2026

Just a heads up, I sent an email to admissions yesterday afternoon and they got back to me this morning saying they expect to release all admissions decisions within the next week or so, and that sometime by the end of next week would be the very latest. Still some hope for those of us still waiting! Lol
And for context, I also interviewed! For Writing for Film/TV and S&D consideration

But I heard only receiving the zoom call email can guarantee to receive the offer?
 
Really? Next week? I thought it would be all sent out this week. I'm still waiting T-T
I know!

And sorry, I meant on Tuesday, not Monday! Got my days mixed up haha.

A different poster said admissions told them by end of this week, but I got a different answer! Not sure what’s going on! I’m in a similar boat - I got into another program but I’ve been waiting for this decision (top choice)!

Same with you! I got another offer, but Columbia is my top choice as well... Anyway, I wish us all the best!!! :D
