    LMU - comparable to UCLA for screenwriting?

    Hi everyone. My main question is in the title, specifically, is the collaboration and internship opportunities / acceptance rates at competitive shows/studios comparable to a more renowned school like UCLA? Or even AFI? I have had interviews with these three schools and LMU has already given...

    LMU - Digital App Question

    LMU - GRE?

    I'm curious for those who are applying to LMU (or even better got in!) if you took the GRE and if you are submitting a score?
