    Applied 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...

    Columbia College Chicago vs. Boston University for Television

    I want to go into television and most likely be a television producer. I love sitcoms like The Office, 30 Rock, and Parks and Rec and I'm interested in creating shows similar to those. My dream job would be to have my own Netflix show. I can't decide what to do and I have to commit by may 1...

    Boston U vs Loyola Marymount for Film Production

    I have been accepted to both programs but am struggling to choose between the two. LMU clearly has the location advantage being right in LA, Boston U seems like a better all around school. My goal is to direct films in the future, I have no interest in TV production. Which program is the better...

    Boston University vs. Syracuse vs. Northwestern

    I'm looking at schools to apply to for undergrad. I'm looking at Newhouse specifically for Syracuse. Which school is better for film and tv production but also just in general (environment, people, job opportunities, etc.)?
