    Waitlisted (After Interview) Columbia Directing MFA 2023

    First time applying. This is my top choice. Has the most extensive creative materials requirements of any of the schools i applied to. Interview was really in depth. Even though they asked tough questions, it felt good to be taken seriously.

    Admitted (After Interview) Brooklyn College Directing MFA 2023

    First time applying. This app had the latest deadline of the schools i apllied to, and I had an interview basically a month after. The interview was pretty standard stuff except they ask you to submit an image to discuss during it (any image, but preferably not a still from a movie).

    Denied (w/o Interview) Columbia College Cinema and Television Directing (MFA) 2023

    First time applying. Applied because I am based in Chicago. Was not invited to interview. Disappointed but, to be honest, I may have phoned in the application (not giving it the most effort).

    I don't expect too much as I'm aware of my qualification, I'm international, with no film background, and this is SCA lol. But yea, fingers crossed. I have nothing to lose

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) AFI DIRECTING 2022

    It has been internally agonizing since it's my dream school for me. I spent a lot of time on my personal statement and tried to be as honest as possible in the one-page essays for both visual samples. I tried to be creative in the 5 minutes short prompt. I also turned in an 8-minute version of a...

    Admitted (After Interview) USC MFA Film & Television Production 2022

    First time applying. I submitted the best 5 continuous minutes of a 16 mins short film that I made. Just had a good interview with professor Michael Taylor. He asked about the kind of film I wanted to make. The interview was very friendly and causal. I am crossing my fingers.
