    AFI Editing - 2025

    I'm putting together my application for the editing program at AFI, but I'm struggling to find information about the program from the student's perspective.

    Hi, I'm Chris, also an international student from China. I was accepted to Emerson college and SVA. I had already decided to go to Emerson, but when I was choosing my courses, I started to hesitate between SVA and Emerson. When I was looking at the Emerson first year program, I saw that the...

    Denied (After Interview) UCLA

    So far so good! The materials were a little contradictory so I pored over the info on this site and their paperwork like a lawyer. It seems to have helped so far because I am in for an interview! I submitted two and three-page responses as extra documents instead of filling them out in the...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) Columbia MFA Creative Producing

    The first round is finished! It was a lot of fun, but I had a little anxiety from my last recommender. Luckily, she came through. I felt I wrote my essay too pretentiously so I hope the interview process can really show my character!
