    Columbia University - Screenwriting/Directing Fall 2022 entry

    Honestly, I just prepped more. First year, I froze on things like 'what did I watch' and 'what do I read'. This time I had a movie list and a pile of books next to me in case. But I had different interviewers both years so each interview was different. Year one, Eric & David went deep on my...

    I rewrote my bio completely, submitted a new writing sample (10 pages), re-used my treatment and re-used my recs. I was WL'd last year.

    Admitted (After Interview) Columbia Directing/Screenwriting MFA

    The application was writing intensive which served my strengths well. I did not submit a visual component on my application. This was my second time through the application process with Columbia. I was waitlisted last year, so I did have some preparation going into this cycle.

    Columbia University - Screenwriting/Directing Fall 2022 entry

    I interviewed with Trey also. Eric is one person. Let’s say he takes 10 min per acceptance. That’s 480 min. No shot he did that one sitting. He’s human just like all of us. I’m having a difficult time remaining chill, but it’s out of our hands. I was WL’d last year. Trust me, my stomach is in...

    Columbia University - Screenwriting/Directing Fall 2022 entry

    I received responses but I also did last year too. I don’t think it matters. I wouldn’t look too far into it.
