    USC vs COLUMBIA vs NYU

    Honestly it really depends on what kind of writer you want to be. I applied to Columbia and USC because I liked what they offered in screenwriting. NYU I checked out the school but I didn't apply because I didn't feel like the program fit for me. I got waitlisted at Columbia and rejected from...

    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    I interviewed with Tom and Richard. It was on March 13th. I actually thought the interview went okay, not amazing great, but not horrible too. It was a nice pleasant middle, but looking back I know what I did wrong, or why I wasn't strong enough to get an acceptance, and getting wait-listed...

    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    I would never wish any bad luck for anyone, even if it means it will hurt my chances. You could make a feature length with that 160,000 yes, but the connections at Columbia and what that school is producing right now is priceless. Just look at Jennifer Lee, she hit the 1 billion mark with...

    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    You are so lucky to be accepted, I wish I was in your shoes rather then being on the wait-list. The cost is pretty crazy yes, but try to apply to grants or see what scholarships you can apply too. Maybe you can lower the cost a little bit? You have a little bit of time to figure it out, but try...

    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    I just got wait-listed too. Better then a flat out rejection.... But still pretty unsettling. I heard from forum that 30% of people who got into the school were wait-listed, but I don't know how true that is. I'm not going to hold my breath, so I'll move on plan B.

    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    It sounds like they made their first initial phone calls yesterday. Which, if you think about it, calling all the accepted students in one day sounds like a lot of work. So I am sure they are spreading out all the phone calls at least that is what I am telling myself. Good luck to everyone and...

    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    I had my interview last Thursday. I think it went very well, my interview ran over 30 minutes. It wasn't the interview I was expecting. They really read my application which was nice, because they referred back to it more then once. So make sure you have a clear vision of who you are as an...

    USC MFA Fall 2014 (film & tv)

    Sorry about your rejection email, but hope you get into your first choice! USC isn't my first choice either, but can I ask you what program you applied for? I haven't heard back anything and I applied for screenwriting.

    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    Thanks! I got an email inviting me for the interview. They didn't tell me much about my portfolio but they said they are just "looking for a unique way of storytelling." I sent in my demo reel and if course my writing. I got my interview notice around the 2nd week of Feburary.

    USC MFA Fall 2014 (film & tv)

    @mcholman Thank you! I got the requests to fill that stuff out in the beginning of the month, so not that long ago. I don't know what that says about my application if I just got those a few weeks ago. This is my first time applying to a graduate program so I don't know how this waiting game...

    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    I have talked to Columbia and all they told me is that my creative portfolio stood out, but they didn't go into too many details on that. I have my interview next month. I also told that experience does not play a huge role, that they are just more interested a unique way of storytelling. I am...

    USC MFA Fall 2014 (film & tv)

    Hello everyone! I applied for the MFA in writing for screen and television. I can't get into that link that everyone is posting and my status is still in "the first stage." I am just wondering did everyone get the email for the scholarship application and the enrollment and housing form. It...
