    Denied (After Interview) Columbia Film

    I had a lot of fun writing for the prompts and requirements. I think Columbia places a heavy emphasis on social drama... I wrote about a Tibetan love story for my 10 pages screenplay but when they asked me if this is the type of film I want to produce, I said no... Hahahaha. And then I pitched...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) Columbia University Film 2022

    Second time applying after not getting an interview last year. Interview went very well (almost too well). Talked extensively about my personal statement and general mandate as a filmmaker.

    Denied (After Interview) Columbia University Creative Producing

    Very smoothly. When I received the interview notification, I was excited. But in the interview, I was too nervous to do my best. Be relaxed. It is most important thing in the interview.

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) Fall 2022- Columbia University

    This was my second time applying to Columbia and I honestly think my application was better off because I had gone through the process once earlier. Learnt a lot from that experience and hopefully applied it well to the second time around.

    Interview Scheduled Columbia University Film MFA

    Definitely was crunched on time - submitted my application with barely seconds left before the deadline. Wrote most of the application in just two days. I work well under pressure haha.

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) Columbia Film MFA - Fall 2022

    Columbia's deadline was the last of any of my schools, which gave me time to hone the application. The info session I attended was a tad off-putting, but the curriculum seems good and I appreciate the inclusion of a film treatment in the requirements.

    Applied Columbia Fall 2022 Film MFA

    Required Materials: - 3 Letters of Recommendation (all of mine were from professors I had in production courses, but I think a professional rec would've been good. - Dramatic Writing Sample (page limit of three iirc) - Film Prompt - Film Treatment (not gonna lie, it was hard to get this down...

    Waitlisted (After Interview) Columbia - Film MFA Writing/Directing - Fall 2022

    I am just now adding this to the database, but finished the application a few weeks ago. The application went pretty well. I really enjoyed writing the material for it. I don't feel awesome about my autobiographical essay and think that it definitely could've used a lot of workshopping and...

    Waitlisted (After Interview) Columbia University - Screenwriting/Directing Fall 2022

    I started the application in June of this year. I think it's better to have more time to send your creative materials to others for feedback. It also gives you time to digest what you have written. :):) I'm an international applicant and I did not submitted an english proficiency test. My 4...

    Applied Columbia Screenwriting/Directing 2022

    Honestly not too good because I felt rushed. So many things outside of my application was taking away time I needed to focus on my application. Also I feel that my creativity was evident but the writing may not have been very polished. This was due to the fact that I didn’t have anyone to give...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) COLUMBIA CREATIVE PRODUCING FALL 2022

    Lots of writing! Proud of both of the screenplays I wrote (the film prompt and the dramatic writing sample). Fitting the feature film treatment on a single double-spaced page in Courier font was difficult, but I got it in the end. I wish the autobiographical essay had more of a prompt.
