    LMU Film School MFA 2024 - Who's applying?

    I haven't had a chance to post sooner but I received my acceptance this past Friday 3/29! I was awarded a scholarship as well! FAFSA really seems to have s#!t the bed as far as communicating with the school so far, so I'm waiting to figure out what my total aid package is. Still not entirely...

    Input needed What questions do you have for USC admissions department?

    Do they notify all accepted applicants at once or is there a specific process they follow regarding acceptance and rejection notifications? Do they typically release decisions in waves?

    UCLA Directing MFA Fall 2024

    I did. About 10 days later I got a very generic response. Thank you for your response. Your application is now eligible for review. Best, UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television

    UT Austin MFA Film & Media Prod Fall 2024 - Who's applying?

    I'm right there with you! My nerves have been completely shot since last week when all the schools I applied to started sending out acceptances. None for me though... Kinda getting the feeling that it's just not gonna happen for me. I've been a total wreck tbh. Just hang in there the best you...

    UCLA Directing MFA Fall 2024

    I haven't heard anything about interviews for the Directing or Producing programs so far. Hopefully soon! I did see a post earlier in this thread that said most people (those applying for the Production MFA, anyway) didn't get their interviews until mid-March last year. Maybe that will be the...

    Admitted (After Interview) LMU - Film and Television Production MFA (Directing) - Fall 2024

    Applying was a pretty straightforward process. I was able to use a lot of the same application materials that I used for some of my other apps (this was due the same day as my USC app) with a few key differences. The biggest difference was the prompt to create a 2-3 minute short film using only...

    UT Austin MFA Film & Media Prod Fall 2024 - Who's applying?

    I'm gonna be perfectly honest... I haven't even thought to look at my Vimeo analytics lol I just took a look and it would appear that I've gotten some views from Austin! I guess that means they're at least looking at everything! Exciting! Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone!

    UT Austin MFA Film & Media Prod Fall 2024 - Who's applying?

    I don't remember where I saw it, but I thought I read that UT will release their decisions around Feb. 15... if that's the case then we're almost there my dudes! Hang in there and stay strong! We got this!

    UCLA Directing MFA Fall 2024

    Thanks for the response! I finally got the email re-sent to me! This time it arrived in my spam folder and I was able to retrieve it. Same deal for me. They just wanted me to reformat my film treatment. Am I crazy or were the instructions for the treatment kind of a mess? I remember the...

    UCLA Directing MFA Fall 2024

    Hey all! Quick question! I received an email last night saying that they've been trying to reach me about supplemental materials for my application. They said the email they have been trying to contact me from is fgrad@tft.ucla.edu. They also told me to check my spam folder. They asked that I...

    UCLA and UT were the only ones that required 3. Chapman, LMU and USC only asked for 2.

    Review by anonymous on item 'University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS)'

    Some good and some not-so-good with this program. The Good: The Digital Filmmaking and Media studies track offers students the opportunity to gain real hands-on experience. There are several classes for the production of "The Bluffs", which is a serialized program created as a television show...

    Denied (w/o Interview) UT Austin - Film and Media Production MFA - Fall 2024

    After completing the initial "ApplyTexas" application, which is a pre-requisite to applying to any Texas university, the UT application wasn't really too bad at all! They required three letters of recommendation (most other schools I applied to only needed two), a writing sample, a statement of...

    Denied (w/o Interview) Chapman - Film Production (Directing Emphasis) MFA - Fall 2024

    I found this to be the most challenging of my 5 applications (with USC coming at a close second). There were a good deal of supplemental essays required along with an Introductory Video essay in which you are not allowed to appear in, which I actually found to be fun but quite challenging.

    Denied (After Interview) USC - Film & Television Production (Directing) MFA - Fall 2024

    This was among the more intensive applications I submitted but also one of the most exciting. The different prompts allowed me to showcase different sides of my creative repertoire. Essay prompts for scholarships of course, there were questions designed to really gauge your skills as a...

    Denied (w/o Interview) UCLA - Directing/Film Production MFA - Fall 2024

    This application was quite intensive, especially since there were a number of supplemental materials needed for it. This program also has the earliest deadline so be sure to work on this one as early as possible! I only decided to apply about a month out and it was definitely challenging!

    The Brave and the Bold

    Hello all! My name is Dave and I am currently pursuing graduate studies in Film Production. Like some of you on here, my path to filmmaking was not the most traditional. I had previously attended Colorado State University - Pueblo straight out of high school but a personal tragedy prompted me to...
