    Admitted (w/o Interview) Accepted to DePaul Film and Television BFA !!

    During the application process, I was confused because they didn't require you to submit a portfolio. I submitted one anyway, and I still sent anything optional in any way.

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) DePaul Directing/Film Production MFA 2024

    DePaul was my second choice. Initially, I didn't like the idea of living in Chicago (my body's not built for the cold); but as I was researching the program, I kind of fell in love with it. The program offered everything I was looking for. My portfolio consisted of short stories, writing...

    Admitted (w/o Interview) DePaul BFA

    I applied Early Action and was admitted with a merit-based President's Scholarship (28k). It was a safety school for me. This process was the easiest because I didn't think they required any essays at all.

    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

    Relatively straight-forward application process. The interview was simple, concise, and professional. I was asked very general questions to let them get to know me and my relationship with film.

    NEED ADVICE: CSUN vs. DePaul

    Hi, title is basically it all. I'm in at both CSUN and DePaul. CSUN is leagues more affordable and I could probably transfer somewhere better after a year or two, or should I just go to DePaul? I'm really lost, any help would be greatly appreciated

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) DePaul MFA Screenwriting Fall 2023

    Really easy going! They waive your application fee if you go to a CDM meeting or schedule a meeting with an advisor so I recommend doing that for sure. I applied and got accepted into the comedy concentration which I'm thrilled about. They move really fast in the process if you submit before the...

    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...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) DePaul University - Screenwriting MFA - Comedy Concentration - Fall 2023

    First time applying. If you attend any of DePaul's Jarvis College of Computing and Digital Media information sessions, they waive their application fee. Their fee is the cheapest of any school I've applied to, but I'll take what I can get. The information session and faculty lunch were very...

    Admitted (After Interview) DePaul Film and Television MFA

    The application and interview were smooth and relaxed. They are very open in terms of what you can submit and what they are looking for which can be a good and bad thing. It's helpful to have done other applications to have an idea of how to put together a cohesive portfolio.

    It was nice. Admission officers were incredibly helpful. They don't ask you to submit a daunting amount of things. Their application website was easy to use.

    Admitted (After Interview) DePaul Creative Producing 2022

    Good! I applied last minute to Depaul and I was worried about getting all of my materials together on time but was able to manage. I only wish I was able to gather a bit more about the program. It is especially opaque because they recently moved this program out to their LA hub. However...
