    AFI 2019 Screenwriting

    Yeah I sent Jill an email asking if there’s any chance we’d find out before April 15 and she said highly unlikely since most people wait until the last minute to submit deposits and that they’ll have a clear picture at the end of April.

    AFI 2019 Screenwriting

    Got my waitlist letter. Not the result I was 100% hoping for but at least it’s something. Felt really great about my interview but I’m sure they went back and reviewed every application to make final decisions and I know where I went wrong with one of my submission pieces so at least there’s that!

    Careers before Graduate Film School

    Currently work as a copywriter and I HIGHLY recommend it, especially if you can become an in-house copywriter and work remotely, which tons of companies offer that option if you have a few years of experience. Excellent work life balance, great practice writing succinctly and persuasively...

    NYU Graduate Film 2019

    Hey, the past few years have shown that it has been around the end of this week through the end of next week. When I asked during my interview, they mentioned it would be sometime this month. How did your interview go?

    AFI 2019 Screenwriting

    Just curious but what do you want to write that you wouldn’t be able to write because of “liberal PC culture”?

    NYU Graduate Film 2019

    Just listened to an interview with Reinaldo Marcus Green (Class of 2016) on Marc Maron's podcast. He was talking about his experiences applying to NYU (he applied to the dual degree program), got denied the MBA and was waitlisted for the MFA. Got off the waitlist and ended up with >$300,000 in...

    NYU Graduate Film 2019

    Yeah, I may have heard wrong and they may have just said "we are interviewing all this month" instead of "you will hear back in a month" which I thought they said/meant initially. I'm not positive since it seems like this year, things ran a bit later too but hoping to hear sooner than later. But...

    UCLA Directing/Production Fall 2019

    I interviewed back in 2013ish, fresh out of undergrad, and the faculty I talked to are still there after looking them up. I do know the program underwent some fundamental changes in the last few years but if the format of the interview is the same, I spoke to a student representative first who...

    UCLA Directing/Production Fall 2019

    Hey, I feel like this is late in the game but I just received an interview notification request FYI if people are still waiting to hear back.

    NYU Graduate Film 2019

    Thanks. Yeah, I think after months of being like "whatever", the fact that it's really coming down to the wire now is causing some late game anxiety to flare up. That's probably all it is but ugh do I wish I could redo my interview lol

    NYU Graduate Film 2019

    Hey, if anyone else has their interview experiences to share, I’d really appreciate it (if you want to DM me too, feel free!). The more I think about it, the more it feels like I didn’t do so well on the interview since it ended kind of abruptly and some of my interviewers were very stoic at...

    NYU Graduate Film 2019

    FYI they did say they were JUST starting the interview process, I’d hear in about a month, and it may go weeks so (just assuming) they may still schedule people up to two weeks from today.

    NYU Graduate Film 2019

    Just had my interview. It was anywhere between “okay” and “good” I thought? My student ambassador was super helpful and said it went long so that’s a good sign and if I felt at least okay about it (she felt bad about hers) I should be fine. Quick Q&A with the ambassador at the beginning...

    AFI 2019 Screenwriting

    Remember, you were chosen because you have a specific voice that they were looking for— something different out of ~1,000 applicants. That is where most of your value as a screenwriter to them was and if the opening few minutes of your interview was the only part you weren’t sure of (maybe they...

    AFI 2019 Screenwriting

    Just had my interview. Like everyone said, super relaxed and I felt like I really, really killed it. Optimistic since Giovanni also mentioned the final interview number was very close to the final 28. Anna and Kevin mentioned their go-to being the Oscar movie question but since it was over, what...

    NYU Graduate Film 2019

    Johns Hopkins/MICA Film Fall 2019

    I’m from the Baltimore/DC area and was wondering if anyone was looking at either JHU or the Maryland Institute College of Art for their film programs. They’re both relatively new but are promising.

    AFI 2019 Screenwriting

    Monday the 25th as of now. Good luck and I hope you get an interview with AFI! To everyone else, keep in mind, I recently read a profile with an admissions counselor where they talked about reasons people get rejected from graduate programs and they range all over the place-- from lack of...

    AFI 2019 Screenwriting

    It's for Screenwriting. I did ask a question about whether or not people are allowed to interview for two programs or are only invited to interview for one and am waiting for the answer on that. Not sure if this matters but I submitted my Screenwriting application over 2 weeks before the...
