    Admitted (After Interview) Chapman Film and Television Production MFA - Producing

    Loved this application, super straightforward and easy application interface. Two treatments, portfolio available on request, resume, and personal essay. The biggest difference with the Chapman app is a transformational moment video that you must shoot and edit.

    Waitlisted (After Interview) Chapman University - MFA in Screenwriting (Fall 2022)

    When I was researching schools, I initially did not think applying to Chapman was an option for me.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Chapman- Dodge Film Production BFA for Fall 2022

    Second acceptance so far. Deferred from LMU so this is exciting! A little shocked because I was told Mid-February, but got an email with no notice today! Also got a 28,000/year scholarship and invite to the honors college.
