    Attending (Admitted After Interview) LMU Writing for the Screen MFA - 2025

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) Loyola Marymount - MFA Writing and Producing for Television

    Simple, well-put together application and fairly straight-forward. All materials have long descriptions of expectations. A video portion is required to answer questions. Full-length original 1/2 hour screenplay a major factor in the application

    The application was heavy on required writing samples, which is to be expected. Overall it was a smooth experience, and I spent most of my time working on scripts and my personal statement.
