    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.

    Admitted but Not Attending (w/o Interview) Boston University - Screenwriting 2025

    I applied for seven schools this year, all very competitive. It's my first round of applications so I am hoping to at least get interviewed or waitlisted somewhere, but I'm not necessarily expecting to get in this year. Boston University is the only campus I visited of the seven schools I...

    Kira Assessment of the Boston University MFA in Screenwriting program 2025

    Has anyone applied to this program? I just found out they have a process called " Kira Assessment". It looks like they require you to record a live video to answer some questions, just like an interview. This scared me since I'm not sure what questions would pop up. Does anyone know what kind of...

    Attending (Admitted w/o Interview) BU Screenwriting- MFA, 2025

    Applying to the BU Screenwriting Program felt really straight forward and relatively simple, compared to some other schools! I enjoyed how the Kira assessment gives the school an opportunity to see and hear their applicants talk about their work. It was also nice to be able to submit 2 ten-page...

    Admitted but Not Attending (w/o Interview) BU Television MS

    The college extended the priority deadline to the 17th for all of its master programs. You need a resume, a dialogue writing sample, a critical writing sample, a statement, and a quick online "interview" of sorts. I applied to the producing/writing discipline.

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

    The college extended the priority deadline to the 17th for all of its master programs. Otherwise, the application process was the same as it was when I applied in 2020. You need two samples, a statement, and a quick online "interview" of sorts.

    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...

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Boston University - Screenwriting Fall 2022

    Straightforward and a little more laid back compared to film directing/production apps that often require a visual sample. Most unique part was its video interview portion which I appreciated.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) BU MFA Screenwriting - Fall 2022

    Application was similar to others. The only thing I didn't like was the Kira assessment. I don't think it's a good way to get to know us, an interview would be better. We don't have enough time to prepare and answer the questions.

    BU or Umiami? ( college help)

    I was accepted into Boston University and Umiami college of communication and plan to study film. I was also accepted into Chapman but did not apply to the film school. BU is a great school but I was given no aid so I would have to pay 60k and receive no help for graduate school. While Umiami...
