    USC MFA Film Production vs UCLA MFA Screenwriting

    Hi all, Would love to get the thoughts of users on here and current/former students of both schools! I'm an international student going to the US on a J-1 visa with a large sponsored scholarship for one year only and have been admitted to two schools but I'm having a hard time in seeing what...

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Emerson Film & Media Art MFA - Fall 2024

    Smooth application, submitted a five-minute short film, a three-page dialogue sample (same as submitted to SCA), and my nine-page portfolio of still photography. While Emerson is a school I admire, I will not be attending due to better school choices.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Cal State LA CSULA Film & TV undergrad

    Is anyone applying for the new virtual production program at NYU Tisch this year?

    I just received an interview, but since it's a new project, I have no idea what the interview will ask...:eek:

    Admitted but Not Attending (w/o Interview) Chapman MFA - Cinematography Emphasis (Fall 2024)

    Application process went well! It’s quick and concise for everything that’s required of you to submit. Probably the least extensive of all the applications I’ve done.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Emerson College

    Exhausting, it takes a lot to submit to college but film school applications are on another level. It is basically like you are submitting two applications. There are lots of parts, deadlines, and portals to keep track of. Start early, get organized, track stuff, put aside some money for all the...

    Applying to film school is exhausting and a lot to manage with school, activities, classes, college applications, portals, and creative supplements. However, as you go through the process you learn more about yourself and feel like each application gets better. Yes, I wish I would have started...

    Waitlisted (w/o Interview) LMU Fall 2024 Undergrad

    Denied (w/o Interview) USC MFA Film and TV Production

    I loved this application! I thought it was super fun and it's obvious that they made the application so that applicants can really shine and flex their creative muscles. I felt that this was an application for the applicant. There were different options to choose from for most sections, so you...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) UCLA Production/Directing MFA

    I struggled with writing the SOP and Personal Statement. I found this application to be a lot less "fun" than other ones (i.e. USC). But I am happy with what I was finally able to produce. I'm glad I gave myself a lot of time to brainstorm, edit, brainstorm, edit, on and on.

    Fall 2024 Common App vs School Applications and FAFSA changes

    Are personal essays and other fields shared in the Common App for every school you apply to? Wondering if I can customize each essay to each school application or not? Since FAFSA is changing this year, how can apply Early Decision or Early Action if new FAFSA won't be ready yet? How do...

    Visual Sample/Video Prompt for Chapman and USC

    I plan on applying to different Film Production programs for Fall 2024. I'm worried about the work load from August 1-November 1, with school, sports, college application essays, videos, etc. My question is, do you think I can work on Visual Samples during the summer? Do the prompts from each...
