    Applied BU Screenwriting MFA

    BU has the most singular application process, especially because of the Kira Assesment. I felt it was good to pratice to understand how it worked as I hadn't done anything similar before. On the bright side, I guess it's hard for everybody.

    Interviewed Chapman Screenwriting MFA 2026

    I agree with what was said by most people, I think the process of Chapman allows you to show your work as a writer without it being too much. They asked for a statement of intent essay, a transformational moment essay, a creative portfolio, a narrative scene and letters of recommendation.

    Waitlisted (After Interview) USC Film & Television Production MFA - 2026

    To say I'm shocked to be waitlisted would be an understatement. After those first waves of acceptances and waitlists came out, I was convinced I was getting rejected. Then I finally got an email, saw the word waitlist, and freaked out! So, to anyone stressing that they haven't heard back at the...

    Admitted (After Interview) UCLA MFA DIRECTING/PRODUCTION

    One treatment, two essays, and three letters of recommendation. They didn't ask to see a portfolio. I sent my essays to friends and mentors for feedback and did multiple revisions until it felt clean and simple yet representative of who I am.

    Applied Columbia MFA Directing/Screenwriting

    I had begun the application process nearly a year ago, planning and familiarizing myself with past years' material. It was smooth for me as I began early, but it was time-consuming. I enjoyed the autobiographical essay most given the choices I had debated between which life experiences I would...

    Applied USC Screenwriting MFA - 2026

    The application process for USC went well. I believe they have a good variety of materials where you can show your potential as a screenwriter, but I do recommend starting as soon as possible and dedicating a reasonable amount of time into polishing each material.

    Interviewed AFI Screenwriting MFA - 2026

    I really liked the AFI application process. The interface was good, the materials requested were reasonable and I believe they can make a good assessment of each candidate based on what was asked.

    Interviewed UCLA Screenwriting MFA - Film Track

    The application process has gone well. I believe the hardest part was the two original screenplays required in the materials, as it was the longest work in all applications. Overall, it went well.

    Interviewed AFI Cinematography 2026

    The application process takes quite a while, and there's a lot of material to prepare, but it was much easier for me this time since I am reapplying and already familiar with the process.

    Interview Scheduled FAMU Directing - Fall 2026

    There were a lot of materials for this one, the statement of intent (basically a series of short answers) was pretty demanding creatively (at least for me). Quite a few questions asking you to pick and analyze films, images, books, and songs that relate back to you and how they represent your...
