    Admitted (After Interview) USC MFA Film and TV Production - Fall 2025 Entry

    Really straightforward application, was pleasantly surprised by the amount of overlap with other film MFA application requirements. The word count and time limits for the submission materials were somewhat challenging to meet. Learned a lot about the MFA program structure from my interview.

    Interviewed UCLA Directing MFA Program

    I reached out to the admissions email on March 28th, 2024, and they replied saying the application is still in process. Honestly, in my humble opinion, I felt good about my last interview with UCLA, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much. It's tough, especially after getting rejected...

    Admitted (w/o Interview) DePaul BFA

    I applied Early Action and was admitted with a merit-based President's Scholarship (28k). It was a safety school for me. This process was the easiest because I didn't think they required any essays at all.

    Denied (After Interview) USC BFA cinematic arts (film production) reject

    It was my top choice. I was interviewed but then rejected. It was a stretch for me because I have a lot of Bs on my transcript (although they were almost all in AP classes, so my weighted GPA was still 3.9).

    Waitlisted (w/o Interview) LMU BA film and television production

    I applied early action but was deferred. And then I was waitlisted. I am really hoping to get off the wait list because it's my top choice among the schools that haven't outright rejected me.

    Can I get some feedback for my media sample of my portfolio?

    I am applying to some big schools as a transfer film major (USC,NYU,Chapman, etc.). I don't have time to create a completely new film for some of my portfolios, but have some films I made for some classes a couple months ago. Do you think this film will be enough to submit? (the maximum for most...

    Denied (After Interview) USC - Film & TV Production MFA - Fall 2024

    Preparing application materials has been quite challenging, especially the five-minute video sample part. I faced significant challenges in pre-production and on set, but I finally overcame those difficulties and completed the short film. In my personal statement, I wrote about my journey of...

    USC vs NYU, which one suits international students best?

    Hi, all! I'm international and applying to NYU, USC, and Columbia. My top priorities are USC and NYU. I had an interview for USC last week for the spring semester and I'm researching to prepare if I get accepted to USC. I found some information that somewhat bothers me. NYU is my dream school...

    Has anyone ever gotten in a MFA program making a film by themselves?

    I don't come from a film school background which is why I don't know many filmmakers. I have been making films by myself, and I wonder if anyone has ever done this for the application?

    I'm done with this filmschool. It's not worth it. The whole application process of USC is a LOTTERY. I should've known that! But now I'm pretty happy that they didn't let me get in... lol
