    Denied (w/o Interview) Chapman - Screenwriting MFA - Fall 2023

    First time applying. Generic enough, in some ways, that I was able to use application materials I used for other schools. Yay! How considerate of them.

    Chapman Fall 2023 All MFA Programs

    Starting this thread for community and questions as we play the waiting game. There doesn't seem to be many of us Chapman folks so this thread is for applicants to all of the MFA programs in the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. I think someone did create one specifically for applicants to...

    Declined Admission (Off Waitlist After Interview) Chapman MFA Screenwriting Fall 2023

    First time applying. I actually had technical issues with the application which was super stressful. One of my recommendations disappeared from my account the day before I wanted to submit and so I had to panic email my recommender and ask them to resubmit which thankfully they did but would...

    USC v. Chapman BFA film production

    Hi all, I've seen some discussion about USC v. Chapman for Master's but not undergrad. I'm fortunate to have been accepted to both for film production undergrad. Here's my sense of the pros and cons, but I could really use some reality checks from you all. I've received merit from both, so cost...

    Admitted (After Interview) Chapman University - Film and Television Producing Fall 2022

    Since I am an alumni, I wasn’t worried. During the interview they asked me about why I wished to return when I could go anywhere else. I told them about Chapman’s strengths and how it is the most versatile of all film schools I’ve applied to because of the resources available to the students...

    Admitted (After Interview) Chapman - Directing Fall 2022

    Chapman's application requirements were one of the most elaborate out of the bunch. Initially, I felt overwhelmed by the sheer volume of elements required for the application, but by the end, I felt Chapman's application really encouraged me to challenge my creativity and showcase the kind of...

    It was quite smooth. Turned in my application the day before the due date. The interview made me a little nervous but they were quite nice. Decision expected mid-march

    Admitted (After Interview) Chapman - Writing and Producing TV

    Very smooth application process. I spent most of my time working on my creative submission, my creative portfolio list, and my statement of intent. I did the whole thing in about four sessions over the course of a couple weeks.

    Waitlisted (After Interview) Chapman University - MFA in Screenwriting (Fall 2022)

    When I was researching schools, I initially did not think applying to Chapman was an option for me. Not much information about financial aid is detailed on their website, scarce information about the application process, and no specific references to alumni success after graduation (just a list...

    Admitted (After Interview) Chapman MFA Screenwriting - 2022

    It's my first time applying and I thought it was weird that I received an interview invitation since they don't usually do interviews with Screenwriting applicants. However, after talking to Chapman I learned that they started interviewing this year! Everything was fine until now, everyone from...

    Admitted (After Interview) Chapman TV Writing and Producing 2022

    It's been good! I found the Chapman application stressed me out a bit more than the others because there were no script samples accepted - only a prose piece and personal essays. However, I am super excited to have an interview and show them more about myself. Fingers crossed!

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) Chapman - TV Writing and Producing

    The Chapman application was pretty easy, it only required two brief writing samples as opposed to some schools that require full pilots. Because the writing samples were so small, I made sure that they were really polished.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Chapman MFA Production Design

    Very straightforward process. Their application is very easy to follow. I'm just a bit anxious about the portfolio because I'm not sure what they were looking for exactly. I tried including a bit of everything!
