    Attending (Admitted w/o Interview) Screenwriting - BU Fall 2026

    The most nervous I felt about an application. BU is my first choice so I felt a lot of pressure. I went a bit more stylistic on my personal essay and was incredibly nervous in my KIRA assessment, so I'm hoping my portfolio sample really speaks to my potential.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Boston University Screen Writing MFA

    The application process was really easy; I submitted the usual personal statement & CV and opted to submit a single 20-page sample. The hardest part was the Kira assessment, primarily because it was a little nerve-wracking trying to answer questions under a timer. I was sure I bombed it as I...

    Admitted but Not Attending (w/o Interview) Boston University - MFA Screenwriting

    The application was relatively simple and the early deadline was a couple months later than most other schools so you can give some good focus to it. I was admitted and granted some pretty good scholarships but unfortunately the price was still too high for me to attend in good conscience.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Boston University - 2024 MFA Screenwriting

    The February deadline was nice and allowed me some time to reset after all the December deadlines. The essays and writing samples were straightforward. I submitted one short script and one portion of a screenplay. The only thing that made me a bit nervous was the Kira Talent Assessment but it...

    Admitted (Off Waitlist w/o Interview) Boston University MFA Screenwriting Fall 2023

    The actual process is pretty smooth, you submit one writing sample along with a resume and statement of purpose. The real kicker is the Kira Assessments where you have to record yourself answering interview questions. Those were pretty tricky, as the practice questions were way different from...

    Boston University MS in Television Fall 2022

    HI! I was wondering if anyone else was planning on applying to BU's MS in Television for the Fall of 2022! I thought I would start a thread for it because I didn't see one yet.

    LMU (MFA in Film Production) VS BU (MS in Television)

    I had been accepted for MS in Television at Boston University, but now I have been pulled off the waitlist from LMU. I have always had a film background, but since I have not explored Television, I am open to the idea of exploring the industry. Switching back to film seems hard after pursuing MS...

    Does BU use MyBU for their Screenwriting MFA applications?

    Does anyone know if Boston University uses their MyBU portal for the Screenwriting MFA applications? I tried to access it and had trouble signing on. I know in years past, decision notifications have come out around this time and I don't want to miss it. Thanks!
