    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) AFI Screenwriting Fall 2023

    I actually find the GradCas system a bit complicated and it's hard to do a final check of everything but other than that everything was relatively easy. I like the scene prompts AFI give as they are so broad which is nice.

    Attending (Admitted w/o Interview) USC MFA Writing for Screen and TV - Fall 2023

    Second time applying. Much happier with my creative challenges this time around but less happy with my 10-page sample. Also submitted the same (slightly edited) autobiographical statement which maybe I should have re-written but hey-ho.

    Applied USC Writing for Screen & TV MFA Fall 2023

    It's been smooth so far. I run a film production company alongside my job as a news writer, so I'm most comfortable organizing paperwork and cranking out long-form writing samples on demand. I began about two weeks before the portal was scheduled to be open via the USC website, and did a few of...
