    Declined Admission (Off Waitlist w/o Interview) SFSU MFA Cinema

    i sent them an email to ask a question but never received a response.... i think they focus more on theory that's why they ask applicants to submit an essay they don't ask much for their portfolio but the academic writing was hard

    Denied (w/o Interview) FSU Screenwriting MFA - Fall 2022

    First time applying and got rejected without an interview. I asked for some feedback and they didn't say anything very specific. They said there was a high number of applications this year and that they can only admit a maximum of 8 students per year.

    UGA Film Production MFA - 2022

    I just got the acceptance email from UGA this morning! Did anyone else on here get in? What are your feeling about the school if you did? I'm curious if anyone on these forums applied because I haven't seen it mentioned in any threads this year.

    Admitted (After Interview) Chapman MFA Screenwriting - 2022

    It's my first time applying and I thought it was weird that I received an interview invitation since they don't usually do interviews with Screenwriting applicants. However, after talking to Chapman I learned that they started interviewing this year! Everything was fine until now, everyone from...

    UT Austin - Film & Media Production MFA Applicants 2022

    Did anyone else apply to UT Austin? It seems like a fantastic program and I am wondering how everyone else's experience has been going. It says they will send out notifications around February 15th, but has anyone heard anything from the school so far? Also, how does everyone's analytics look...

    Applied Emerson MFA Film and Media Art

    It went well, I just wish I could have added more work samples. I also don't think I answered essay #2 as good as I could have and it's always a challenge keeping the essays under 500 words (requirement).

    Denied (w/o Interview) DePaul University - Screenwriting MFA (Fall 2022)

    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...

    Admitted (After Interview) AFI Directing 2022

    It was a pretty strenuous application, but only because I wanted to make sure it was good. Worked on the personal statement for at least two months. Other than my own perfectionism, they really weren't asking all that much; a personal statement, a portfolio sample and accompanying essay, and an...

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) Chapman - TV Writing and Producing

    The Chapman application was pretty easy, it only required two brief writing samples as opposed to some schools that require full pilots. Because the writing samples were so small, I made sure that they were really polished.

    Admitted (After Interview) AFI Directing 2022

    Honestly, the whole process has been pretty taxing for me. I applied to all the programs I had applied to and I wasn't quite happy with my portfolio. In the month of November, I made two shorts that I am pretty happy with in hopes that they would boost my chances of getting into programs. That...

    I submitted this application a couple weeks ago.
