    Admitted but Not Attending (w/o Interview) Northwestern RTVF - Fall 23

    Application process was fairly simple. Compared to other programs, this felt a lot easier (though maybe I just had more practice since the deadline is later than most). No supplemental materials.

    Applied USC Cinematic Arts, Film and Television Production

    Obviously I have had months to gauge my expectations, knowing that my experience likely does not parallel more than half of the USC MFA applicants. To my knowledge, I was provided pretty strong letters of rec from the executive director of an independent cinema I was a programming intern for and...

    Admitted (Off Waitlist w/o Interview) Boston University MFA Screenwriting Fall 2023

    The actual process is pretty smooth, you submit one writing sample along with a resume and statement of purpose. The real kicker is the Kira Assessments where you have to record yourself answering interview questions. Those were pretty tricky, as the practice questions were way different from...

    Waitlisted (w/o Interview) Chapman University MFA Directing emphasis- Fall 2023

    The application process was intense for me, not because the assignments were complex but because simpler things are more difficult to grasp because of their generality, they can be written in any way because the framework around them is limited hence I often questioned the quality of work I was...

    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...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) USC MFA Directing/Film Production Fall 2023

    This is my first time applying. I go to the Rhode Island School of Design for filmmaking. I was interviewed by Barnet Kellman, who said that he personally would love to see me there at SCA but it was up to the admissions committee. I also applied to UCLA, Columbia, NYU, and AFI, but was not...

    Denied (After Interview) NYU Dramatic Writing Fall 2023

    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.

    Denied (w/o Interview) UT Austin - Screenwriting MFA

    Process was easy going, you apply on ApplyTexas first then you wait a few days and you submit your materials on the UT Austin portal. I submitted a 90 page feature length comedy for my portfolio. I opted out of submitting a secondary piece of writing. I did not get accepted, but ultimately was...

    Stony Brook Film MFA 2023 - All Disciplines

    Hey all! Since I see a few of us applied to Stony Brook for the different tracks, I figured I would make a thread for all of us to discuss the school. I know some were already admitted, while others (like myself) are still waiting to hear. Good luck!

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) Application for USC (Fall 2023)

    The application process has been pretty hectic, it is demanding and requires vulnerability for it to stand a chance. I was somewhat paranoid so editing and re-editing led to the submission by the very end of the deadline. I am satisfied with my application though because I know I did it with a...

    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...

    Applied NYU Dramatic Writing MFA | Fall 2023

    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...

    Waitlisted (After Interview) NYU MFA Dramatic Writing Fall 2023

    The only school that didn't ask for extra creative materials but did ask for a full length pilot. They had the option of submitting an additional 30-minute pilot (to total 60 pages all together) which I did do this year, I didn't do this the first time I applied in 2020 and regretted it haha.

    Chapman Fall 2023 All MFA Programs

    Starting this thread for community and questions as we play the waiting game. There doesn't seem to be many of us Chapman folks so this thread is for applicants to all of the MFA programs in the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. I think someone did create one specifically for applicants to...

    Waitlisted (After Interview) USC MFA Directing/Film Production 2023

    It was tough for the most part, lot of things I'm overthinking but I think overall I did a good app. Had many people give me feedback and edits on my personal statement. Tried to not overthink the video introduction and just speak honestly. Might come across as generic but I'm hopeful the rest...
