    Loyola Screenwriting vs Columbia Screenwriting/Directing

    Hello! I'm very lucky in that I've been accepted to both Loyola's screenwriting program as well as Columbia's Screenwriting and Directing program and am wondering if anyone could help me weigh the pros and cons of each, or has any insight they can give into either program. Thanks!

    Film and Television Production BFA at Chapman or USC

    Hello! I got accepted into both Chapman (fall 2023) and USC (spring 2024) for film and television production which is something I am beyond grateful for!

    UCLA vs AFI Screenwriting?

    Does anyone have thoughts as to comparing these two programs? The only difference I can easily gleam is that UCLA is more focused on pure writing while AFI is more hands on. While that is helpful, I would also like to know about - program prestige, usefulness in finding a job, class size, or...

    DePaul vs Brooklyn College for directing MFA

    I may end up deciding between these two. Caveat is I already live in Chicago. DePaul is the most established program but I'm particularly curious to hear from folks familiar with the Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema. Both programs tote their studio space. Feirstein has the benefit of...

    MFA at UCLA, Columbia ... or wait for COVID to end?

    Hi all, Longtime lurker here, but I applied to a few programs to pursue my MFA this upcoming Fall. So far, NYU flat out rejected me. However, I was accepted to the UCLA Production/Directing program and waitlisted for Columbia's Screenwriting/Directing program, both after interviews. Even though...

    Choosing a film school as an F-1 Student

    I'm an international student that just graduated from UTampa. Unfortunately, due to Visa complications that I had during my last semester in undergrad, I was a little late to the school application game. That being said, I still rounded up a bunch of schools that were still taking applicants and...

    Chapman MFA Screenwriting - Attend or Try Again Next Year?

    UCLA 2015/2016 Decisions

    Hey all, I just finished my transfer app to UCLA for next fall 2015. I'm already anxiously waiting to hear back, and thought I'd start a thread for people to check in. I saw people doing it for 2014 and 2013, seems like a good way to pass the time til decisions are made.
