    Waitlisted (After Interview) LMU Master of Entertainment Leadership and Management

    Not too bad. The admission does not require your portfolios, and GRE is optional unless your GPA is above 3.0. If you are an international student, your score should be above 100. I scheduled an interview a week ago on Saturday, but I missed it because of the timezone confusion... Gratefully...

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) LMU Writing for the Screen- MFA, Fall 2025

    In general, I've liked the LMU application experience! I like that they prioritize storytelling, and give the applicant opportunity to film a video of themselves to explain their writing interests and experience. Regardless of whether or not I get an interview, I found it comforting that, unlike...

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) LMU Screenwriting MFA 2023

    Pretty long personal statement compared to some places. A lot of choice with the writing prompt which I liked. Had to do a video statement, which was strange and unexpected. But in the end it is a fun way to express yourself once you get into it. I think they like it if you do something outside...

    AFI vs. LMU

    Apart from getting into AFI (Editing), I have gotten into Loyola Marymount University too. It's a 3-year Film and TV Production MFA course, with an emphasis on Editing. Have you heard anything about this? And how is its reputation in the industry? One of the major reasons I am considering this...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) LMU - TV Writing and Producing 2022

    The application process was pretty easy but I did notice that LMU required more writing samples than other programs that I've applied to so far. Other than that it was pretty straightforward. I also had an undergrad film professor that went to LMU so I reached out to him for a recommendation, I...

    Was a bit tricky getting some of my portfolio stuff together, but it was still fun. Being an international student, I'm still working out the official transcripts and other things, but it's all going well so far and I'm excited! - turns out the transcripts automatically filled in from applying...

    LMU (MFA in Film Production) VS BU (MS in Television)

    I had been accepted for MS in Television at Boston University, but now I have been pulled off the waitlist from LMU. I have always had a film background, but since I have not explored Television, I am open to the idea of exploring the industry. Switching back to film seems hard after pursuing MS...
