    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...

    Denied (After Interview) NYU Dramatic Writing Fall 2023

    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.

    Denied (After Interview) NYU Graduate Film 2023

    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.

    Waitlisted (After Interview) NYU Dramatic Writing - 2023

    Good. I spent about a year writing my feature script, so I feel good about my chances. I am waiting to see if I get an interview or not, but the waiting is hard!

    Fine. The application process was incredibly confusing (the different sites where I had to upload materials). I thought it was interesting that this was the only application I submitted that required a picture of me...

    Applied NYU Dramatic Writing MFA | Fall 2023

    NYU has the most straightforward application process for any grad school I've applied to. You simply submit your script (or play in my case), your resume, two letters of recommendation (although I submitted four, two professional and two academic letters), and a statement of purpose. It is also...

    Waitlisted (After Interview) NYU MFA Dramatic Writing Fall 2023

    The only school that didn't ask for extra creative materials but did ask for a full length pilot. They had the option of submitting an additional 30-minute pilot (to total 60 pages all together) which I did do this year, I didn't do this the first time I applied in 2020 and regretted it haha.

    Denied (w/o Interview) NYU Dramatic Writing - Fall 2023

    This was the only school I applied to that required a full work, so I put a lot of effort into that. I submitted a 30-minute dramedy pilot. Other than that, the app was fairly easy. NYU is my dream school and has been even before undergrad, so here's to hoping!

    NYU Tisch Dramatic Writing MFA Fall 2023

    Apps were due yesterday so I figured I would start a thread so we can chat while we wait for decisions to be made! Who else applied? What kind of script did you submit? I submitted a 30 minute pilot. Good luck to everyone!

    Denied (After Interview) MFA Dramatic Writing - NYU

    I've really enjoyed myself! It inspired me to write and gave me the motivation to finish my screenplay! I submitted a half an hour pilot in US format. I did find it really hard writing the statement of purpose with such a small amount of words but I was really happy with it in the end after...

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) MFA Film - NYU

    Writing the portfolio was fun! It was great to be able to sit down with a prompt and be as creative as possible and I really loved the pitch concept. For my application, I also concentrated on writing and directing.

    Advice needed on the film in portfolio for schools

    Hi everyone, I'm in the process of applying to MFAs in the US, Canada and the UK and as you all know they all require some form of visual sample of your work. Now, I attempted to shoot a short film this year that I was going to use to apply for film school with and I spent a lot of money on it...

    Applied NYU Tisch Graduate Film - Fall 2023

    Submitted on the same day as USC's deadline to release the burden in my chest. Spend a whole year preparing my creative materials for NYU as this is my top priority among the film schools I applied to, so fingers crossed!!!
