    UCLA TFT MFA Applicants 2026

    Lol sounds like you'll be well positioned at USC then, I'm happy for you. I'm so curious about the mixed reviews from students and the oppressive administration. That's rough.

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) UCLA MFA DIRECTING/PRODUCTION

    One treatment, two essays, and three letters of recommendation. They didn't ask to see a portfolio. I sent my essays to friends and mentors for feedback and did multiple revisions until it felt clean and simple yet representative of who I am.
