    Columbia Film School MFA Applicants 2026

    Admitted students day for the SOA was on Saturday. It's possible faculty were waiting to get some sort of information from the show out from that... just speculating. Tomorrow is also their initial commitment deadline, so possible they're waiting to see the results of that. In any case, I would...

    Admitted (After Interview) Stony Brook MFA Screenwriting - 2026

    I really liked this application -- the short scene options were unique and I loved the video pitch (which I was initially most nervous about!). I appreciated the space for creativity. I also really appreciated their rolling admissions timeline and the efficiency of the process.

    Was anyone else accepted but struggling to afford attending?

    Hi! I'm in the same boat for Columbia, but the Writing for Film & TV track. It's my top choice but it's a lot of debt to take on. I am waiting to attend the admitted student events and hopefully talk to current students before I commit. I've been doing a lot of research on alternate forms of...

    Good luck!!! It seems like from years past SW&D calls come last -- my guess is sometime next week. And I feel similarly regarding the cost... but yes, very nice to have the decision in my hands!

    Admitted (After Interview) AFI MFA Screenwriting

    The application was very straightforward, and easy because I had it mostly prepared from last year. I changed my writing sample and updated my statement of purpose.

    Admitted (After Interview) Columbia MFA Writing for Film & TV

    Straightforward application. The "Autobiographical Essay" was unique and more fun than the standard statement of purpose IMO. Interview was very positive and sold me on the program.

    Columbia Film School MFA Applicants 2026

    The admitted students reception is in less than two weeks (at least for Writing, wasn't clear if it was for all disciplines) so I figure everyone will hear by then at least!

    Just the phone call. He said an official letter/email/etc will be coming. He also gave me my scholarship amount over the phone. And yes, he was one of my two interviewers!

    I'm curious, did you folks get your official letter in the portal already as well? And was scholarship information included in the call and/or letter?

    AFI Applicants 2025

    Wow, that seems like a great sign!! Like "we want to pick you, but how can we know you will pick us?" Is AFI your top choice? Also, how did they know where else you'd applied?

    AFI Applicants 2025

    Hi! Mine for writing was 20 minutes, and that included a few questions I had for them. Not sure how that compares. But it flew by. I've been stressed about it because, while it was a super friendly, smooth, easy conversation, I worry I didn't impress them enough, or supplement my written...

    I felt similarly about mine; I did get the chance to speak a little bit about influences and process, but kinda wish they'd asked me more! It was a friendly, chill conversation primarily geared towards getting to know me on a personal level.

    Kira Assessment of the Boston University MFA in Screenwriting program 2025

    Yes, the practice can be run multiple times. I don't remember there being a "favorite movies" or "what do you want to write" question. You don't need to apply separately for merit scholarships; I believe everyone is automatically considered! You'll find out if you received money in your decision...

    Kira Assessment of the Boston University MFA in Screenwriting program 2025

    Hi! I applied last year. It was three interview questions. I got a short "prep" period after each question was revealed and then maybe 60-90 seconds to answer each via video. They were fairly straightforward. I don't remember all three, but one was something along the lines of "How will you...

    AFI Applicants 2025

    I applied just a couple days before the deadline and was invited to interview on the 17th, so I don't think there is any correlation.
