    Anyone applying to MFA Screenwriting Programs for Fall 2018?

    Okay, so typically a CV is like a beefier resume - or at least that's what a CV is in the professional world - and that's how I interpreted it for my applications. Whereas a resume is typically limited to one page with your most relevant information regarding education, jobs/internships...

    Anyone applying to MFA Screenwriting Programs for Fall 2018?

    Hey everyone! I just wanted to piggy-back off @Kira , as I also found this community an immensely helpful resource and will be joining Kira as a first year student at UCLA. I applied to a bunch of programs (USC, UCLA, Chapman, LMU, NYU, Columbia, AFI), and, as you all probably know, each has...

    UCLA Screenwriting - Housing, transport, visa etc.

    If no one's taken this on, I'd be happy to do it! Anyone know if UCLA was eventually going to create one for us? I think I read USC does that for incoming students. Otherwise I'll set it up.

    NEED ADVICE: AFI vs. UCLA for screenwriting

    Yeah, I didn't get the impression that the dean situation was an issue. Since you haven't actually visited either school, have you had the chance to look at youtube videos of campus or anything? If not (and you may already know this), AFI doesn't really have a campus in the traditional sense...

    NEED ADVICE: AFI vs. UCLA for screenwriting

    Crazy how subjective all of this is... I actually found myself more impressed with UCLA when I visited for my interview. I felt much more comfortable with my interviewer, and liked the energy of campus/the film school. That said, UCLA and AFI have vastly campuses. And it was raining when I...

    UCLA Screenwriting - Housing, transport, visa etc.

    Dang... Really wish I knew this upfront. Not that it would have changed my decision to enroll at UCLA, but still. I might try calling in a little bit to get some additional information.

    Mine isn't up either... Also @Kira - Do you know what that PDST is?

    Well shoot, it looks like I had my numbers wrong... Where did you get those numbers?

    UCLA Screenwriting - Housing, transport, visa etc.

    This is something I've been actively looking into as well. So far, it seems there are many more scholarship/fellowship opportunities going into our second year, because as you noted, the scholarship deadline for this upcoming fall has already passed (passed about 6 months ago). That said, I...

    I'm originally from Wisconsin, so about as midwestern as it gets haha. Very cool story! Hope to see you in the fall :)

    Fellow midwesterner! Where are you from?

    Sure thing, I'm glad you found it helpful :) Hope to meet you on campus too! If not, perhaps we'll cross paths in the real screenwriting world one day, haha.
