    I need some advice：Study in China or Study Abroad?

    Hi，guys.I am a student from China. I am interested in the whole process of filmmaking, but I mainly want to learn cinematography.

    Waitlisted (After Interview) NYU MFA in Dramatic Writing - 2024

    Very much appreciated the brief extension from December 1st to December 3rd, having applied to Michener and UT's Screenwriting MFA also. Beyond that, pretty simple and standard application process (singular statement and full-length sample), and fingers are being crossed.

    Denied (w/o Interview) NYU - Grad Film 2024

    Of all the schools I applied to, I think I enjoyed this application the most. The prompts for the creative materials offered a lot of flexibility and options which I liked. Also, writing a short story was nice since I have some experience in creative writing.

    Interview Scheduled NYU Tisch Dramatic Writing MFA Fall 2024

    First time applying and first application sent in . . . Looking back there's already a LOT that I think I could have prepared better, but it's my first time so I'm going easy on myself. The PLAY is THE THING. I spent to much time worrying about statements, and I wish I would have spent that...

    Applied NYU Tisch Grad Film Program - 2024

    I enjoyed the process and felt like my writing skills improved. Considering my lack of background or professional experience in film, I made sure each creative sample was as strong as I could make them. I surprisingly spent the most time on the dialogue scene. Struggled with it in the beginning...

    Waitlisted (After Interview) NYU MFA Grad Film Fall 2024

    It's gone really well! The application was a bit different compared to last year's (they've changed up the dramatic story) and I enjoyed writing everything. This is my second time applying - I was accepted last year (and was over the moon!) and accepted my place, but was unable to attend due to...

    Hello all! My name is Dave and I am currently pursuing graduate studies in Film Production. Like some of you on here, my path to filmmaking was not the most traditional.

    Denied (w/o Interview) NYU Dramatic Writing MFA

    The application process for this was short for me. I was rejected without an interview of any sort. The materials submitted were conducive to what other applications ask for.

    Denied (w/o Interview) NYU Graduate Film MFA Fall 2023

    It was a nice process. NYU asks for some pretty interesting materials that were interesting to come up with. I didn't get the chance to be interviewed to see how that process would be.

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) NYU Dramatic Writing MFA

    Not too bad. The waiting is the worst. I will say it wasn’t too foreign for me. I went to USC for undergrad but in cinema and media studies. I submitted my first (and only) pilot I ever wrote. 65 pages, historical sci fi drama. The interview was casual and went very well. I tried not to...

    Waitlisted (After Interview) NYU Dramatic Writing MFA

    Great. Thrilled that NYU asks for a complete writing sample ("creative portfolio") rather than an excerpt, unlike the other applications I submitted... comparably, this really felt like a powerful indicator of the consideration, thoughtfulness, and care they put into their admissions process. So...

    Admitted (After Interview) NYU MFA Grad Film Fall 2023

    Application process was good. They are the only school that had a creative writng, dramatic story sample. I actually took a screenplay idea and turned it into prose but they also had specific prompts they want you to write about so it's probably better to spend more time on it, I admittedly did...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) NYU Tisch Grad Film

    I’m a Domestic Student from Virginia. I was on the fence about applying. I applied to USC’s Peter Stark Producing Program last year and was not admitted. I started two days before the application was due and submitted it on the day the app was due. I tweaked my Statement of Purpose from my USC...

    The application process has been pretty straight forward. Everything is done on the NYU website. I submitted a feature length film for my portfolio piece. Was notified of interview and then met with faculty a few days later.

    I feel confident about my materials. This is probably my strongest application. I'm feeling good about the process so far. I hope to be admitted, same as everyone else here.
