    Admitted (w/o Interview) SFSU - Cinema MFA 2025

    Since the application goes through the general requirements first, there are regular updates about each stage of the process. One of the few applications that requires an academic writing sample in addition to short visual samples. Really enjoyed it.

    Admitted (After Interview) Brooklyn College - Cinema Arts MFA 2025

    Online application is a bit outdated, and it took a while for my checklist to be updated. Emails take a long time to be answered as well. There is a lot of flexibility in the portfolio.

    Waitlisted (w/o Interview) Chapman - Film Production MFA (Directing Emphasis) 2025

    First application I submitted. Self-intro video was challenging, but I appreciated the lack of restrictions in the portfolio. Quite a lot of materials required.

    Denied (w/o Interview) NYU - Grad Film 2025

    One of the more demanding applications. Wrote most of the writing samples mainly for it, as well as the self-intro video. Uploaded a few hours before the deadline. Didn't hear anything back until the rejection letter.

    Denied (w/o Interview) UT Austin - Film Production MFA 2025

    Was expecting rejection as I didn't hear anything after submission. My portfolio did get a couple of views from Texas though. Probably one of the more standard applications, nothing too specific.

    Admitted (After Interview) Stony Brook - MFA in Film Directing 2025

    I was able to repurpose most materials from previous applications. First application I heard back from and first interview scheduled. I wasn't very optimistic about my interview performance as I was extremely nervous, but it ended up being my first acceptance as well.
