The hardest part of the application was to have 3 references/letters of recommendations, not the standard 2, and they all must have emails from a workplace to demonstrate they're working professionals.
Overall, I had fun with the writing prompts. They want to see your demonstration of your...
Hi all, I'm from SoCal, and I'm thinking of applying to USC for the screenwriting MFA program when applications open in fall 2023.
I actually have a degree in creative writing, and I've built a decent career as a communications consultant in the past decade or so. However, I constantly dream...
Application was pretty easy. My only gripe is they still haven't updated my fafsa check mark haha. But they are very responsive and don't seem to require more than other programs. I applied here because it's one of the top ranked schools and had a low residency program.
It was straight forward but Chapman required more materials than my other applications. They have been tremendously nice but a little slow to update their applicants on if/when they should expect a decision.
The application was very straightforward and easy. I applied to Spalding because I was looking into low res programs and was impressed by their faculty. They had a get to know me interview which was very nice. And then I received my acceptance soon after.
The application was straightforward. I applied online and was invited to an information session along with some other perspective students. I attended to learn more about the program and then received my acceptance shortly after.
It was pretty straight forward. They required recommendations a personal statement, and an excerpt from a script. The interviewer was nice and they got back to me fairly quickly.
The application went very smoothly. I’ll post my documents on a later date when I have more time to dedicate to it.
I remember meeting with faculty, alumni, and current students and thinking it was a wonderful community.
For the screenwriting sample: I submitted a 20 page Romance/SciFi about...
Hey all!
I'm mulling it over again. Two years ago, I submitted to UCLA and got accepted into accepted for a Screenwriting MFA. I came very close to going but, to be honest, I was in sort of a fear-based, survival-mode mindset. I also had a celebrity attached to a project that I was trying to...
Hey everyone!
I'm a college senior graduating this December with a degree in film. I'm excited by the idea of writing features, but my interest is mainly television. Since the application period coincides with the tail-end of my thesis (and I don't have much money), I'm trying to be...
Who's applying this year?

The following supplemental materials must be submitted via the SlideRoom application for admission consideration:
Autobiographical Character Sketch (please upload in PDF...
Turns out those who got rejected never received emails??? They just got their letters in the mail around mid-March (which, if you ask me, is cruel).
Apparently, someone had done this thing where they logged into:
camel2.usc.edu/AdmGradCertification/
(just put in your USC ID and birthday) and...
People who got accepted to an mfa program on your second/third attempt: do such people even exist? Or is it foolish for me keep trying? Please share your story to light the way. Especially screenwriters (since I'm dealing with rejection right now).
Hi! Has anyone heard back from UCLA's Screenwriting MFA yet (2018)?
Just wondering if anyone has already been selected for an interview.
If selected, when do you guys think we can expect to hear from them? I know it varies from year to year, just wondering if interviews have already started.
We all want to make movies. We wouldn't be here if that wasn't the case. But making any movie, even a short can feel daunting no matter how much experience you have. Here's how I made my hopefully triumphant return to directing.
I'll start from the very beginning...
