    Denied (After Interview) AFI MFA Cinematography - 2023

    Really scary, just submitted my application, and waiting up for anything, really. International application, and did not submit any English Proficiency scores, but instead gave a Certificate of English as the Medium for Instruction from my home university.

    How difficult is it for international students to keep finding work in the UK/US/Europe after completion of the course?

    I totally understand that film schools don't work similarly as STEM schools, but it's a considerable financial investment to not think it through.
