    Admitted but Not Attending (w/o Interview) DePaul MS Film & Television (Cinematography Concentration)

    It was the easiest application that I've ever had to complete. There's something that I found out too late was that if you attend their information sessions, they usually waive the application fee which is $75 for international students. I hope it helps those who are gonna apply in the next session

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) UCLA - Cinematography MFA 2024

    The application went well! It was interesting to apply to a Cinematography program without providing any visual supplements. It was all writing samples with the most narrative being an essay on Cinematography as Storytelling. The others were writing samples of personal/purpose statements.

    Second time applying in back to back years, managed to submit both old and new material. The entire AFI process has been tough and filled with ups and downs as I was able to get interviewed last year but waitlisted and didn't hear back. This time though, I feel way more prepared and ready to...

    Denied (w/o Interview) Chapman University MFA in Film Production with Cinematography Emphasis | Fall 2024

    The application was very straightforward. I was already working on my resume, sop, challenging essay, and portfolio list over the summer. The dilemma was not having a cinematography reel. I only had three films, and I was thankful to be put on as DP for two more and took me over a week to...

    Waitlisted (After Interview) Fall 2023 UCLA MFA Cinematography

    The application went well! Surprisingly the only school to not require a portfolio of any kind, so I felt like my strengths were in my cinematography essay and my personal statement. I thought I did well in my interview as well, but I guess no helping getting waitlisted with such a small cohort...

    Admitted (Off Waitlist After Interview) Ucla cinematográphy 2023

    It was pretty simple, ucla doesn’t ask for a portfolio just essays. So I just wrote my statement and two other essays that seemed rather simple. I finished in about 2 days of writing and then got all my recommendation letters in.

    The application process was quite stressful for me, as it was my first time applying for a Masters, I'm not familiar with the US system, and UCLA feels intimidating (I honestly applied while being sure I'd probably never ever get in lol) although they don't ask you for a portfolio or previous...
