    Is anyone else applying to this program this year? Emerson is pretty high on almost every film school ranking but I haven't been able to find too much information about their MFA in Film and TV writing MFA outside of what's on their site and the few threads I've seen on here. The curriculum...

    First-time applicant. I graduated college 10 years ago, so a bit older than a lot of other applicants. I didn't get into film until about 5 years after graduating college. I decided to turn down their offer as I did not receive any scholarship aid and could not afford the program.

    I am 28 years old, and already a professional screenwriter in my home country. I always wanted to go to grad school in the States, but because of work and financial constraints, I couldn't make it. I am wondering if I am too old to apply now, because I'll be 29 by the time I go. The whole reason...

    Admitted (Off Waitlist After Interview) FSU - Production MFA Fall 2020

    This is my first time applying. Application process was not exactly smooth sailing. It's always fun when your last letter of recommendation stops answering your emails a couple days before your application's due!
