    The application process went pretty smoothly. Although I did wait till the very last day to submit my stuff, I did that to seek advice and help from others to make my personal statement and scripts more appealing.

    Admitted (After Interview) AFI MFA Screenwriting - Fall 2025

I ended up using a simple green screen in my apartment, a $200 used DSLR, and a lav mic to record it. Curious what other peoples'...

    I realized I wanted to apply to grad schools in the middle of December. I don't know what's expected or common for applicants, but this felt to me like a pretty late start. Luckily, I had a fair amount of practice with similar application materials for screenwriting competitions and fellowships...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) NYU Grad Film - 2025

I asked for recommendation letters that day, and they...

    The application process was pretty straightforward! For the creative writing sample, I had a lot of existing short pieces of writing (poems, 2-3 page personal essays, etc.) so that was more of a "pick your favorite children and bundle them together" kinda situation for me. For my creative...

    Denied (After Interview) Northwestern MFA Writing for Stage and Screen

    So far so good! First time applying to grad schools. Applied to NU and a school in London. Background is Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications. Most of my writing focus thus far has been plays, but slowly dabbling in television scripts and screenplays.

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) NYU Grad Film

    The process was pretty straightforward. I already had a pretty accomplished film to submit as a part of my application. Most of my time went to my narrative statement and writing sample. I started my application in September and submitted a day before the deadline.

    Applied UCLA Screenwriting MFA- 2025

    My first time applying. Application process was not bad. Biggest challenge was submitting 2 completed writing samples. Other than that it was pretty straightforward. I submitted an hour long drama and an half hour dramedy. I applied for the TV writing track.
