    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...

    The film art school application process has been smooth and exciting, Had to write a personal statement and an artistic statement. I honestly had a lot of fun being at the interview.

    Denied (w/o Interview) NYU MFA Film

    Fully expected not to get in here. I did get my hopes up that I might get interviewed after being interviewed at USC, but never heard back. Great school and I wouldn't have been able to afford it anyway!

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) UGA MFA Film, Television and Digital Media

    They changed the semester start from Fall 2024 to Summer 2024 after I already submitted. Technically this was a Summer 2024 application, but I wanted to put it here to show how kind of unprepared they were post-application opening process.

    Columbia College Chicago vs Ohio University

    Hi all, I'm considering both these universities mostly because of the financial aid/scholarships they've offered. I'm interested in cinematography, and that's what I want to pursue after graduation. Both the programs look great. CCC focuses more on Directing but is in Chicago and has a better...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) Ohio University - MFA Film

    The application was quite simple and straightforward. My interview in my opinion was nothing special. It went okay. I got offered a full tuition waiver but I’m not sure if this is a good film school. Now i’m confused between columbia college chicago and OU

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Undergrad Narrative Film Production 2024

    I found the application process to ge very simple, all things considered. I actually would prefer be able to supply more portfolio materials, as that is really the only way to demonstrate what you've done so far. The standard Cal State application, resume and additional references.

    Denied (w/o Interview) York MFA Film - Fall 2024

    The application was pretty straightforward. I completed all requirements, then around 6th Feb I received an email asking for my bachelor's degree certificate and master's updated grades. I didn't have the updated report though. No email or notification. I just checked the portal and it said...

    Waitlisted (After Interview) UGA MFA in Film, Television and Digital Media - 2024

    Having taken place a few weeks after the initial three, this one wasn't so bad. I submitted my main application and statement on the 15th and actually didn't email in my supplementary materials until the 18th, but the 15th is just "priority," and they technically accept applications until...

    CalArts MFA - 2024

    Just wondering if anyone else applied to CalArts this cycle and if anyone has heard anything regarding interviews?

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) Columbia MFA Creative Producing

    The first round is finished! It was a lot of fun, but I had a little anxiety from my last recommender. Luckily, she came through. I felt I wrote my essay too pretentiously so I hope the interview process can really show my character!
