    Applied Duke University - Fall 2026 Experimental & Documentary Arts M.F.A

    Like all the other schools that I have applied to, it was simple with a clear idea of what they want in each section. They have Slideroom, though, like SAIC.

    Applied CalArts - Fall 2026 Film and Video MFA

    I think CalArts had the most paperwork out of any school that I was working towards in the application process. Besides that, I think it was like the others, just extra writing about your media interests on top of the stuff about your practice.

    Applied University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee - Cinematic Arts Fall 2026

    The application was a lot like the other state schools that I have submitted to, where it is straightforward and to the point. I teach middle school, so I had most of the summer to figure out all of this, which is why a lot of my applications are ready to submit so early.

    MFA + Career Path 2026

    Hey everyone! I’m currently based in Mexico City, working in film/TV production with credits on projects for HBO, Netflix, and Prime Video. I’ve done AD trainee, PA, and location scouting work. I love being on set and want to keep learning and moving up—ideally into roles like 2nd AD, Key PA, or...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) MFA in Film - Ohio University

    The application was very clear - nothing confusing about it. You can complete it within two days, especially if you have all the documents ready. It took me quite some time to write and refine my statement of purpose and statement of goals, as well as to put my portfolio together and update my...

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) Brooklyn College - Live Arts MFA

    First time applying to the program. Submitted a 12-page excerpt from a half-hour comedic pilot and included two half-hour comedic pilots in the supplementary SlideRoom application. Interviewed with a screenwriting professor (Ben Snyder). Admitted on March 5.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) USC Writing for Screen and Television MFA - Fall of 2025

    The application process was pretty straightforward! For the creative writing sample, I had a lot of existing short pieces of writing (poems, 2-3 page personal essays, etc.) so that was more of a "pick your favorite children and bundle them together" kinda situation for me. For my creative...

    Admitted (w/o Interview) USC Writing for Screen and Television MFA - Fall of 2025

    It was a patient process, with me not trying to rush anything. A long thorough process, preparing materials, informational sessions, reaching out to alumni and current students, etc. All of which contributed to the passion and hours put towards drafting my materials.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Unversity of Miami, Motion Pictures, M.F.A. - Fall 2025

    I submitted my application a couple weeks earlier than what I listed but it wasn't officially received until they processed my fee waiver. They accept on a rolling-basis so out of the three programs I applied to I expected my decision from them to come first. Program director was readily...

    Admitted (After Interview) UCSC MFA SOCIAL DOC

    The application required a project proposal, statement of purpose, a research writing sample, resume, and 3 minimum references. The application is straight forward as long as you give yourself time in advance to prep and gather the necessary materials. I reached out to my professors late to send...

    Denied (w/o Interview) Northwestern Writing for the Screen & Stage- MFA, 2025

    The application process for Northwestern has been okay so far! I will say it's been a little challenging to answer so many general statements without feeling like I'm saying the same thing over and over again, but I think I struck an okay balance with it all. I appreciate that they ask for a...

    Attending (Admitted w/o Interview) BU Screenwriting- MFA, 2025

    Applying to the BU Screenwriting Program felt really straight forward and relatively simple, compared to some other schools! I enjoyed how the Kira assessment gives the school an opportunity to see and hear their applicants talk about their work. It was also nice to be able to submit 2 ten-page...

    Denied (w/o Interview) UT Austin Screenwriting- MFA, 2025

    The application process has gone smoothly, though I will say there are a few things about the application site itself that are a little confusing. There's no official submission button, which feels a little nerve-wracking- and it also takes a good while for letters of recommendation to appear on...

    Waitlisted (w/o Interview) USC Film Production Spring 2025

    Submitted all requirements needed. The new requirements meant I had to completely redo my application from what I submitted before, but for the better!

    Admitted (After Interview) NYU GRAD FILM

    Great! Straightforward. I have spent a decent amount of time in the industry and on set. I think I probably could have a successful career if I moved to LA, but as of now work is slow in NYC and I figured that NYU would give me the boost I need for more consistent work. Besides that, I want to...
