Waitlisted (After Interview) Columbia screenwriting and directing
It went smoothly. I had fun writing all the assignments. I felt my application was stronger this year. What regards the interview I was not sure how it went. I was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied.- Mumu-mi

Has anyone else NOT heard back yet from UCLA MFA Screenwriting ‘23?
Hey all…. I applied like normal for the UCLA MFA 2023 Screenwriting, had my interview on Feb and 16th. They told me I’m being considered for the Feature track. I saw on this form that a lot of people heard back early March . I sent admissions an email March 9th asking for an update and they...- Nightwriter

Denied (After Interview) Columbia Writing for Film & TV MFA - Fall 2023
Honestly, I feel kind of slighted with this one because I had the opportunity to interview with three faculty members and thought it went pretty well. Maybe the fact that the interview didn't flow as smoothly or easily as Chapman's should have clued me in that I wasn't going to get in. Oh...- Kris 4_2

Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) LMU Screenwriting MFA 2023
Pretty long personal statement compared to some places. A lot of choice with the writing prompt which I liked. Had to do a video statement, which was strange and unexpected. But in the end it is a fun way to express yourself once you get into it. I think they like it if you do something outside...- hcoles

USC MFA 2023 - Scholarships, anyone?
Hi all! Has anyone who was accepted into any of USC's MFA programs heard back about scholarships/fellowships? I emailed admissions awhile back and they said to hold tight until the end of March as they're still rolling out decision letters. Just curious as to whether anyone else has gotten a...- Kris 4_2

Admitted (w/o Interview) Chapman University – Film Production MFA (Cinematography Emphasis)
The process was pretty good, I spent most of my time on the Transformational Moment essay which I think made a big difference in my application. I submitted a 5-minute piece for my cinematography reel :)- avxnnya

Admitted (After Interview) Chapman Screenwriting MFA - Fall 2023
This was my first time applying! As with all my other applications, the first half of my 20-page writing sample was the only thing I had prepared beforehand. Got the interview notification email at 10:18 a.m. on Feb 22nd and I (fool that I am) panicked when I saw that only the next day (23rd)...- Kris 4_2

Denied (w/o Interview) AFI Screenwriting MFA - Fall 2023
Little bit (okay, fine—a lot) bummed I didn't get in because this was an application I put a lot of thought and effort into, but I know AFI is stupidly competitive and this is only my first time applying with very limited film experience. As with my USC app, most of my materials were done at the...- Kris 4_2

Admitted (After Interview) UNCSA Screenwriting - FALL 2023

Denied (w/o Interview) Northwestern Writing for Screen and Stage MFA - Fall 2023
First time applying and I knew I didn't get in when I saw others had been asked to interview over a week prior. Wasn't surprised to receive my rejection after that, especially since this was the application I turned in the latest and put in the least effort for (whoops). Still—bummer. The...- Kris 4_2

Denied (w/o Interview) Boston University - MFA in Screenwriting - Fall 2023
First time applying. What most made this application stand out was the video interview via Kira Talent. After being posed a question, you have 45 seconds to consider an answer and then will be filmed for 90 seconds to answer. I found it freeing to be able to answer by myself with no one watching...- GimmeCroissants
