I applied for seven schools this year, all very competitive. It's my first round of applications so I am hoping to at least get interviewed or waitlisted somewhere, but I'm not necessarily expecting to get in this year.

Only submitting one writing sample was intimidating but made the app process easier. Didn’t feel particularly great about my personal statement, but hoping the sample makes up for it.
It was a straight forward application. It was difficult deciding whether to submit a play or screenplay. I submitted a full length play. I was lucky enough to receive an interview. It was a lovely conversation and I feel very fortunate for the positive feedback as well as the advice from my...
First time applying and first application sent in . . . Looking back there's already a LOT that I think I could have prepared better, but it's my first time so I'm going easy on myself.
The PLAY is THE THING. I spent to much time worrying about statements, and I wish I would have spent that...

The application process has been pretty straight forward. Everything is done on the NYU website. I submitted a feature length film for my portfolio piece. Was notified of interview and then met with faculty a few days later.
This is my second time applying to NYU- I was denied for their Fall 2019 Film MFA. But this is my first time applying to this program and the process has felt very different than my last time applying. I have a background in theatre, so the cross-discipline training is definitely a pull for me...
Good. I spent about a year writing my feature script, so I feel good about my chances. I am waiting to see if I get an interview or not, but the waiting is hard!
The application process went well! Felt slightly more daunting than the AFI application with the submission option of a 100+ word screenplay but I opted to submit a pilot instead. Overall, fairly good!
NYU has the most straightforward application process for any grad school I've applied to. You simply submit your script (or play in my case), your resume, two letters of recommendation (although I submitted four, two professional and two academic letters), and a statement of purpose. It is also...
I've really enjoyed myself! It inspired me to write and gave me the motivation to finish my screenplay! I submitted a half an hour pilot in US format. I did find it really hard writing the statement of purpose with such a small amount of words but I was really happy with it in the end after...
Everything was good so far. I honestly didn't think I would come this far as I'm applying for the first time and had no previous experience with screenwriting. I was very happy to get an interview request :) NYU has always been a dream for me.
So far so good! Interviewed. NYU is my top choice and I have received one other acceptance so far to Carnegie Mellon University's Dramatic Writing Program. Fingers crossed.
