I was completely rejected without an interview. I did not go early decision but did early action. I was surprised because my stats were higher than the program's average. I visited the school, took a tour of dodge and showed I was very serious.
Chapman's application took the most amount of time as it asked for multiple personal statements and a writing prompt that took me longer to finish. Chapman reached out to me for an interview first. I met with Jil Condon and she gave me some great insight into The Showrunner Program. She asked if...

Chapman provides the second choice program. I applied for cinematography as my first choice and editing as second choice. How does the second works? Will they need additional material after applying?
The application was fairly straightforward, balancing between what UCLA and USC require. I had most of the bones of the materials already formatted. It also helped that the only other film school in the country with a program like the Showrunner Program is NYU. Since I want to stay in Southern...
Submitted my materials on 12.1. Currently waiting for the interview...BTW Received the interview invitation from AFI today. I hope everything goes well.

Hi Im Kyle 18 High school senior from NJ and somewhat of a novice writer applying for USC, UCLA, LMU, Chapman and some other schools but my number 1 is UCLA. Tbh I don't think I'll get in since I've had no real experience in writing or film as a whole and my wiritng may not be too appealing to...
Application process was straightforward, but stressful nonetheless. I was already planning on fixing up my portfolio, but as we all know it takes time and energy to get it to meet your own standards. I come from an architecture background with limited film experience, so if anyone in my boat...
Hello! Was just curious if there’s anyone out there who’s also applying. I know it’s a small program, so it’d be nice to meet some other applicants and talk about any questions we might have :)
I plan on applying to different Film Production programs for Fall 2024. I'm worried about the work load from August 1-November 1, with school, sports, college application essays, videos, etc. My question is, do you think I can work on Visual Samples during the summer? Do the prompts from each...
