    Narrative Statements

    Well they are looking for your voice in your writing, so I would suggest to just write it in your own unique style. Don't put too much thought into how they will perceive your writing, just use your own voice and tell your story, that is all they seem to be looking for.

    NY Times article on Film Graduates

    I would take many of these comments with a grain of salt. There is a very active online campaign to bash film schools in an attempt to force people into different types of programs that seem to be run solely for profit. One of the commenters, Seth Hymes, openly admits he is part of this...

    List of Schools with Screenwriting Programs

    Ramjoe, Looks like it to me, if you need any help with some specific information let me know, but I only appied to NYU, Columbia, UCLA, USC and AFI so I can only provide information in regards to those schools. Good luck on your apps, and let me know if I can help.

    Screenwriting MFA - is it possible or am I just dreaming?

    It's absolutely possible, you should apply. I was an Econ and Poli Sci major, low GPA without any film experience. Have some faith in your writing samples and write an excellent personal statement and you will definitely have a shot. These programs are quite competitive, but the only chance...

    Average Age for Grad School Students

    Honestly I wouldn't get too hung up on this whole visiting schools thing. It does help, but in the end it is one of the smaller factors in your admissions decision. Each of the top MFA programs admit a select few students each year and I guarantee of those the majority don't visit before the...

    Looking for best grad screenwriting program

    I would caution dropping NYU off the list at this point just because you are not interested in theatre, as it is too good of a program to be overlooked. I am obviously biased, I'm headed to NYU in the fall for their DW program, but I think that it is worth a look. Now I was less than thrilled...

    Accepted to NYU - What to do?

    I had a similar dilemna, I was accepted to the Graduate program this last year, but I talked to a friend who is currently enrolled at USC and he set my head straight. The answer is go. Clearly take some time and make sure it is what you want, but this is your best chance, arguably, to get into...

    Will a cumulative GPA of 3.0 be good enough for USC/UCLA/NYU/Columbia film schools?

    By all means apply, GPA is probably one of the smallest determining factors in your application. Not that it is entirely irrelevent I'm sure, but your writing matters far more.

    NYU MFA FILM PRODUCTION/CP/Dramatic Writing Class 2011 (New York)

    Pretty basic, talked to someone in admissions, he said that I am being offered a spot and that if I chose to accept it (not admissions but just the waitlist spot) that admissions will contact me tomorrow with a formal offer. At that point I'll have somewhere to 1-2 weeks to accept. It seems as...

    Nah, just got their email to remain on the list, still anxiously waiting, but I think there are still spots to be had.

    NYU MFA FILM PRODUCTION/CP/Dramatic Writing Class 2011 (New York)

    Well I am completely in the dark about NYU's DW waitlist procedure, but today was the deadline to submit ones declaritive statement as to whether they want to remain on the waitlist, so I would imagine we may not be hearing anything till later in the week at the earliest. Waiting game is the...

    AFI 2011

    So everyone still left on the alternate list declare they want to stay? The wait continues.

    AFI 2011

    Well I sure do hope that they don't contact people right after slots are opened, because if that is the case it is not looking too good for us alternates. On a sidenote now I am paranoid for anything I have said that could be taken the wrong way in regards to AFI on this forum.

    AFI 2011

    Hi FIlmschooldad, out of curiosity what are you doing with all of the information you are compiling? You seem to be developing a wealth of knowledge, to compliment a lot of facts that I have seen from you on the forum already, and I was curious if you were planning on writing this somewhere for...

    Sure thing man, sorry I can't be more help, best of luck to everyone.

    AFI 2011

    To be honest it was an email reply and the exact verbage is more specific, but I just don't want to risk getting anyone in trouble, including myself, as I am not sure what the deal is with their information that they give out. I would say the best you can do is just wait it out, I don't think...
