    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...

    Applied NYU Grad Film

    This one was tough. Had a hard time fitting everything into the word count so I'm not sure I was able to fully realize some scripts. Also had a tough time with the self tape video haha.

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) NYU Grad Film - 2025

    The application was definitely arduous but not terrible overall. To be honest I decided to apply around 1pm on the day it was due, and I submitted my application about 10 minutes before the deadline. Would not recommend taking this route lol. I asked for recommendation letters that day, and they...

    Admitted (After Interview) NYU Grad Film - 2025

    The application was long and arduous! I worked on my essay 5 months lol. This year we were requires to submit a 1-2 min video telling the school something about ourselves that they wouldn't get from our personal statement. This felt really tough--tougher than the writing.

    Waitlisted (After Interview) NYU Tisch - Dramatic Writing MFA - 2025

    Only submitting one writing sample was intimidating but made the app process easier. Didn’t feel particularly great about my personal statement, but hoping the sample makes up for it.

    Denied (w/o Interview) NYU Film MFA - Producing

    Application portal was a little confusing given I had to check boxes every few questions confirming I am applying to the right program. Lots of questions, but you can get through it in a week. Have to double check you selected the right boxes for each question given how many there were.

    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...
