    Applied BU Screenwriting MFA

    BU has the most singular application process, especially because of the Kira Assesment. I felt it was good to pratice to understand how it worked as I hadn't done anything similar before. On the bright side, I guess it's hard for everybody.

    Interviewed Chapman Screenwriting MFA 2026

    I agree with what was said by most people, I think the process of Chapman allows you to show your work as a writer without it being too much. They asked for a statement of intent essay, a transformational moment essay, a creative portfolio, a narrative scene and letters of recommendation.

    Waitlisted (After Interview) USC SCA Production MFA

    2nd time applying, was waitlisted the previous time too. Tweaked and re-wrote all the materials for the application. Lots of writing to do, and you have to prepare a short film for this application. Worked most hard on the personal statement, which I re-wrote and re-structured from the...

    Admitted (After Interview) DePaul MFA in Film and Television Directing - Fall 2026 Entry

    It was a relatively easy application. There aren't many (or any, iirc) specific written supplements for the program, just a general "submit anything" portfolio and statement of creative intent. The standout of the process has been how communicative and warm the grad admissions staff is. I was...

    Admitted (After Interview) DePaul University - MFA in Film and TV Production

    Pretty flexible application; there was a lot of freedom in what we were able to submit, which I appreciated. Sent in a couple short films, some screenwriting samples, and black and white photography. A couple feature treatments too.

    Admitted (After Interview) UT Austin MFA in Film and Media Production

    Great! The application was simple enough compared to most other programs, with an artistic statement, academic writing, and portfolio requirement. The interview was then very pleasant.

    Applied NYU Tisch - Graduate Film MFA

    I started the application back in October and finished all the written submissions (dramatic story, scene, feature film concept, sop) in like a week but the recommendation letters & my video self portrait was submitted on November 19th, which is the date I actually completed the application. I...

    Applied Columbia MFA Directing/Screenwriting

    I had begun the application process nearly a year ago, planning and familiarizing myself with past years' material. It was smooth for me as I began early, but it was time-consuming. I enjoyed the autobiographical essay most given the choices I had debated between which life experiences I would...

    Admitted (w/o Interview) UC Riverside - MFA in Creative Writing and Writing for the Performing Arts - Fall 2026

    The current students and faculty are so supportive and encouraging. Got a lot of insight and great tips from them! The application itself was straight forward and simple. Statement of Purpose, Statement of Pedagogy, and 25 pages of a feature screenplay. Fully funded + stipend apparently!

    Interviewed USC MFA Film and Television Production - 2026

    It's been good! It could've gone better, as I submitted extremely last-minute. I feel like the work I had submitted wasn't adequate enough or MFA material. Feel free to PM me, or would like to stay in touch!

    Applied UCLA Producers Program - MFA

    Super simple essays, uploaded one visual example/video link, which was optional. Had to upload 2 treatments, film or TV is ok. This was my second time applying. Didn't get an interview last time.

    Any other schools train auteur film directors like NYU TISCH?

    Hi friends, I've leaned that NYU's graduate film program allows students writer their own scripts, then directs and edits it. Students collaborate/help others' set only as gaffer, cameraman etc. Is there any other film schools in the world got the similar mode instead of mandatorily...

    The application process went well, I tried to focus on really bringing out a vulnerable part of myself in the personal statement. I read in the interview with the USC admissions member that was posted on here that this is where a lot of folks could go further with their application, so we'll see...
