  1. UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT)

    Review by anonymous on item 'UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT)'

    When I applied to the Production MFA, I definitely hadn’t expected to get in. Much of the process and its student body hasn’t demystified and for that reason I think TFT has gotten away with a lot as a department, off the back of an old reputation of excellence. I truly wouldn’t recommend this...

    Denied (w/o Interview) USC SCA MFA Directing/Film Production Application - Fall 2024

    App process went well, I definitely scurried to get things done. Thinking retrospectively, I definitely would have taken more time to work on a more cohesive visual sample for the program. I think my essays were very strong and I had a decent portfolio and established body of work, but my...

    I was a Film and Sociology double major. I'd definitely suggest double-majoring if you can. It gets tricky if you try to add on an impacted major as your second major but it's doable, you just may have to apply while you're at Berkeley to get into that major because a lot of those high-demand...

    Reply to a question by '8ballqueen' on the film school 'UC Berkeley'

    It's a little difficult to say. With Berkeley, if you get accepted/rejected/waitlisted and the major you applied to was in the College of Letters and Sciences, you're in that whole pool with other people in the college. I think it's a first-come, first-serve and I'm not sure exactly how much the...

    Review by '8ballqueen' on item 'UC Berkeley'

    I absolutely loved my time at UC Berkeley and I would not have traded doing my undergrad there even for a top spot at UCLA for a BFA in Film Production, which for many years was my dream. I ended up appreciating Cal's film department being small, being everchanging and growing, and for offering...

    UCLA Directing MFA Fall 2024

    Facts! It’s been a year and a half since I graduated and I just mainly focused that time on writing and working on different creative projects of my own. Even with my USC MFA rejection, they pretty clearly implied I should reapply when I had a more developed portfolio. I think MFAs for Film in...

    UCLA Directing MFA Fall 2024

    I’m so sorry to hear about the rejection. If it makes you feel ANY better, I was rejected by UCLA TFT for undergrad 3 times before I finally got in this time around for the MFA. I can’t even imagine how frustrating it is to bust so much ass only to be given the runaround on your application that...

    Yes! I’m rooting for you! It looks like it takes a few days to send out everything. I haven’t heard about any rejections yet so don’t be too worried.

    UCLA Directing MFA Fall 2024

    BTW, looking at the timing of acceptances from last year, it looks like people got their results about a week after the quarter ended ( they heard back march 29-30 it looks like). i’m guessing it could be up to a week til we hear back! Correct me if i’m mistaken!!

    Guys we’ve all got this! I think the fact that we even got interviews shows a lot about our dedication and passion and I have no doubt we’ll be hearing back with good news. Regardless of the outcome, it doesn’t make or break our careers or our abilities as filmmakers because all of us have...

    UCLA Directing MFA Fall 2024

    hey :) okay so basically it’s not really a thread like this one but rather a site where people contribute to admissions data. so for example, you can look up “ucla film” in the search box and you’ll see the search bar is kinda inefficient. best thing to do is click “filters” and put in the...
