    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) DePaul MFA Creative Producing

    Application went really well. Applied last minute and received an interview invite in late January. Interviewed early February and received an application decision about a month later. Interview was really easy — they talked to me about the program for the first half and the second half we...

    Admitted (After Interview) Columbia - Film MFA - Creative Producing

    I found this application to be more rigorous than others due to its many specific requirements. Although I am somewhat underqualified as an applicant, I rushed this application the most to avoid overthinking it. Columbia had multiple program-specific prompts that I found a bit challenging, as I...

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) Creative Producing 2025

    My first time applying. The number of documents required to submit is quite large, and at the same time as another school's deadline, so my advice is to prepare a little early. I wasn't very confident with the video essay, but I think it's alright.

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) MFA Creative Producing 2025

    I like that they don't require a specific format for the statement of creative intent, so I can express myself freely. Easy process. The most relaxing application I applied, a great opportunity for me to review my journey.

    Admitted (After Interview) Columbia University School of the Arts

    The application process was really demanding. It required a lot of creative works such as feature film treatment, a script sample, film prompt, autobiographical essay. The visual submission was optional so I didn't attach it. It took a lot of time to prepare everything and to make sure...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) Columbia MFA Creative Producing

    The first round is finished! It was a lot of fun, but I had a little anxiety from my last recommender. Luckily, she came through. I felt I wrote my essay too pretentiously so I hope the interview process can really show my character!

    What is difference between Creative Producing and Film and TV production? (undergrad)

    What is difference between creative producing and Film and TV production? What is difference in course work, career opportunities, and role/responsibilities of these two? Anyone know stats on how many apply and are admitted for these? Seems like most schools do not have the Creative Producing...

    Admitted (After Interview) Columbia university - Creative Producing Fall 2023

    I find this program from a web search and thought this is it. It’s designed for me and I need to get in! It goes pretty smoothly overall. I spent two weeks working on every material. I don’t have a much-producing background, but I did many post-production and post-producing. Just got off of the...

    Did anyone get an interview from UNCSA creative producing MFA?

    I wonder how long it is and what the process is. The email from admissions didn't tell details about it. The time slots are just a few and they are all late at night in my time zone lol. I guess it would last 2-3 hours but I am not sure. Hope to get some information about it.

    Admitted (Off Waitlist After Interview) Columbia University Creative Producing - Fall 2023

    In general, it's pretty ok. If you planned, you can do it all. don't worry! But for my, speaking as someone with anxiety, it's being pretty stressful. I worry if what I did is not good enough and I spend the whole day checking my email to see if I get a interview.

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) Columbia, Creative Producing - Fall 2023

    As mentioned above, this application was heavier on writing samples than other programs, so I recommend planning ahead to give yourself enough time (I almost did not!). The prompts were very interesting and a nice opportunity to use them across other applications that don't provide prompts for...

    Denied (w/o Interview) Chapman - Creative producing

    The process went well. I wanted to apply to two programs, creative producing and film production but the process was too heavy so I choose the program that was the best for me in this school. I find the creative supplements very challenging in general, not only for Chapman. Fun but challenging...

    USC Peter Stark v Columbia Creative Producing

    This feels like a dream to even be able to say this but I have to make the impossible choice between two excellent programs, and I would really appreciate any input/insights into the specificities of the programs/thoughts/general feelings about east coast v west coast, any crumb of information...

    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.
