    Admitted (After Interview) DEPAUL UNIVERSITY - MFA FILM

    The application process was smooth. The portfolio wasn't too big, but I still felt like I could showcase my work. My interviewer followed up after I was admitted and wrote a very nice email.

    Admitted (After Interview) DePaul - Directing/Film Production MFA

    The application was really straightforward, and the interview went great. The interviewer was very personable and felt like they were genuinely interested in having me be a part of the program, which was a much-needed confidence boost at this point of applying to programs, lol. Going to visit...

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) DePaul MFA in Film and Television Directing - Fall 2026 Entry

    It was a relatively easy application. There aren't many (or any, iirc) specific written supplements for the program, just a general "submit anything" portfolio and statement of creative intent. The standout of the process has been how communicative and warm the grad admissions staff is. I was...

    Admitted (After Interview) DePaul University - MFA in Film and TV Production

    Pretty flexible application; there was a lot of freedom in what we were able to submit, which I appreciated. Sent in a couple short films, some screenwriting samples, and black and white photography. A couple feature treatments too.

    DePaul vs Emerson BFA Film School?

    I got accepted into both programs, where should I go? Any insight would help!! A thing to consider is that DePaul is much cheaper and gave me more aid. Is Emerson worth the money? Thanks!!

    Smooth; my first time applying. I was encouraged to reach out to past/current faculty members to understand if DePaul was right for me. I am open to answering questions about the process. ________________________________________________________

    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...
