    Denied (w/o Interview) NYU Tisch Graduate Film MFA

    Pretty straightforward. Creative Portfolio, Visual Submission...I chose a video. Statement of purpose. I chose the "the condition of exile - any kind of exile: political or personal or both"prompt for the dramatic story. Plus a feature film concept and personal website.

    Waitlisted (After Interview) NYU MFA Grad Film Fall 2024

    It's gone really well! The application was a bit different compared to last year's (they've changed up the dramatic story) and I enjoyed writing everything. This is my second time applying - I was accepted last year (and was over the moon!) and accepted my place, but was unable to attend due to...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) Columbia Film MFA - Fall 2022

    Columbia's deadline was the last of any of my schools, which gave me time to hone the application. The info session I attended was a tad off-putting, but the curriculum seems good and I appreciate the inclusion of a film treatment in the requirements.

    University of Utah vs University Of New Orleans?

    Hello, Today I received my acceptance letter from the University of Utah and the University of New Orleans. Those are the only schools I applied to. Now I am confused about which one to choose. Both gave me a good financial package. Any suggestions about which one is a better program? Thank you.

    Fairleigh Dickinson University - MFA in Film

    Does anyone have any insight into FDU's MFA in film? Here's a link to the program's page: MFA Film | Fairleigh Dickinson University I can't find much information re: alumni or program outcomes, and their curriculum description is a bit lacking.

    Denied (w/o Interview) Columbia MFA Screenwriting/Directing

  9. V

    I'm applying for MFA Film at NYU, AFI (directing) and Columbia. I have a few questions about the personal statement and the general portfolio :))

    I'm an applicant from London and have very little guidance about the process in general. I have been seen differing advice online about the personal statement - one side of the spectrum is that it should be heavy on academic intent (the kind of work I want to do later in life as well as at the...
