    Hello! I didn't see a thread on here for this, so I thought I would make one. Anyone else apply for the Creative Producing MFA for fall 2025?

    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.

    Denied (After Interview) Northwestern Writing for the Screen and Stage Fall 2025

    This process went pretty well and I'm glad I had done it before because I was a little more prepared than last year, especially for some of the more random supplemental materials. Plus, my UC Riverside app had a lot of material that I could reuse for these prompts so that was good. Somehow I...

    My first semester at Stony Brook / Killer Films' MFA program in NYC

    I've been chronicling my MFA in Film journey by posting weekly updates on Facebook. (Yes, people still use Facebook) In the process, it was suggested to me that I post here on FilmSchool.org so here I am. I am a screenwriting major but Stony Brook's program has us producing, shooting, directing...

    Denied (w/o Interview) Northwestern Writing for the Screen & Stage- MFA, 2025

    The application process for Northwestern has been okay so far! I will say it's been a little challenging to answer so many general statements without feeling like I'm saying the same thing over and over again, but I think I struck an okay balance with it all. I appreciate that they ask for a...

    Attending (Admitted w/o Interview) BU Screenwriting- MFA, 2025

    Applying to the BU Screenwriting Program felt really straight forward and relatively simple, compared to some other schools! I enjoyed how the Kira assessment gives the school an opportunity to see and hear their applicants talk about their work. It was also nice to be able to submit 2 ten-page...

    Denied (w/o Interview) UT Austin Screenwriting- MFA, 2025

    The application process has gone smoothly, though I will say there are a few things about the application site itself that are a little confusing. There's no official submission button, which feels a little nerve-wracking- and it also takes a good while for letters of recommendation to appear on...

    NYU Graduate Film - Anyone get in with the photo submission?

    For the visual submission on the graduate film portfolio, you can choose between submitting either 10 photos or 1 video. Have any of you gotten in by submitting 10 photos? I feel like I rather submit some photos I've taken, but I am worried that I will be less competitive with someone who...

    Applied UCLA Graduate Producing MFA

    The Nov 1 deadline was definitely a stressor, but we made it. I found the formatting "guidance" in the TFT PDF to be pretty confusing: "When applicable, Supplemental Materials must be uploaded in PDF Format, 12 point font, double-spaced, use 8 ½ by 11 page size, and not exceed the indicated page...

    Attending (Off Waitlist After Interview) USC MFA Film and Television Production - Spring 2025

    Application process has been pretty good so far. I liked that this application seemed to lean more into you as a creative and encouraged applicants to take a creative spin on what they were submitting. The main hiccup I had along the way was trying to figure out how to submit my transcripts to...

    Denied (w/o Interview) USC SCA MFA Directing/Film Production Application - Fall 2024

    App process went well, I definitely scurried to get things done. Thinking retrospectively, I definitely would have taken more time to work on a more cohesive visual sample for the program. I think my essays were very strong and I had a decent portfolio and established body of work, but my...
