    Admitted (After Interview) LMU Writing for the Screen MFA

    This is the only application of the five that wanted a 2-minute introduction video, which I liked. I think it is a good way for them to get to know you as a person before the real interviews. The interview itself felt very natural from the start, with the interviewers feeling much less stoic...

    Screenwriting MFA 2023, UCLA vs USC, which one to choose?

    Hi guys! I got accepted by both USC's John Wells Division of Writing for Screen & Television and UCLA's TFT Screenwriting. I had a very nice interview with UCLA, but I'm very concerned about TFT's status reading last year's post. Is the Screenwriting department also in deep trouble? For USC...

    Waitlisted (w/o Interview) Chapman University MFA Directing emphasis- Fall 2023

    The application process was intense for me, not because the assignments were complex but because simpler things are more difficult to grasp because of their generality, they can be written in any way because the framework around them is limited hence I often questioned the quality of work I was...

    Admitted (After Interview) USC Film production MFA Fall 2023

    I have been rejected many times. I think the reason why I was able to be admitted this time is that my PS clearly stated what movie I wanted to make, not just the genre of the film but also detailed writing about the character of the protagonist in my movie, what is the background, and so on. I...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) USC MFA Directing/Film Production Fall 2023

    This is my first time applying. I go to the Rhode Island School of Design for filmmaking. I was interviewed by Barnet Kellman, who said that he personally would love to see me there at SCA but it was up to the admissions committee. I also applied to UCLA, Columbia, NYU, and AFI, but was not...

    Denied (w/o Interview) MFA Film & Video Production

    The application was straightforward, just followed the prompts. They had you make an id for the college in order to fill out the application. I did not receive any correspondence until I received the rejection letter via email.

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) MFA in Film, Television & Digital Media at the University of Georgia

    Application was pretty straightforward, just had to follow the prompts. You had to email the supplemental materials separately. I ended up creating a Google drive folder and provided a link. Interview was with two faculty members; they recorded the session for the rest of the faculty to...

    Applied Stanford Documentary MFA

    I felt a little more at ease with this application than USC's. The slideroom upload gave me a bit of trouble but all in all I felt really good about the application process.

    Did anyone get an interview from UNCSA creative producing MFA?

    I wonder how long it is and what the process is. The email from admissions didn't tell details about it. The time slots are just a few and they are all late at night in my time zone lol. I guess it would last 2-3 hours but I am not sure. Hope to get some information about it.

    Application was extensive, and WAY too expensive. C'est la vie. SOA office has been very responsive to my questions. I enjoyed the writing prompt and am excited for my interview!

    Denied (w/o Interview) Chapman MFA - 2023

    When I decided to apply to MFA programs I was going thru it personally but working on my application materials was cathartic. The instructions were easy to follow, but there were a lot of materials that needed to be submitted, and I did run into a tech hiccup after meeting the deadline but the...

    Admitted (After Interview) Stony Brook MFA in Film

    The application process was quite long since there are several requirements, I enjoyed it for the most part but it takes weeks/months to prepare if you want to submit a very solid application. Just a heads up!

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) Application for USC (Fall 2023)

    The application process has been pretty hectic, it is demanding and requires vulnerability for it to stand a chance. I was somewhat paranoid so editing and re-editing led to the submission by the very end of the deadline. I am satisfied with my application though because I know I did it with a...
