    Interviewed USC MFA Peter Stark Producing Program (Fall 2026)

    The application process was great. It really challenged me to ask — why do I want to be a producer and why the Peter Stark Producing Program. I loved it!

    USC vs. AFI Producing MFA for an aspiring showrunner

    Hi, everyone! First off, I want to say that I'm aware that this is a great problem to have, but I still want to ensure that I make the right choice, so any input is appreciated. My ideal career goal would be to be a television showrunner or upper-level television writer/producer. I have a BFA...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) University of Southern California - Fall 2025 Entry

    I found the application itself for this program kind of tough! They ask 10 short-answer questions with strict character limits. I'm a naturally talkative person and found that I really struggled to provide comprehensive answers in the amount of characters provided. Most of my time spent on this...

    Admitted (After Interview) USC Peter Stark Producing Program MFA

    The essays are deceivingly difficult despite the questions being so straightforward... I took a good 2 months to brainstorm and map out my essay responses to ensure I was highlighting different aspects of myself and wasn't too repetitive. My resume was the full 3 pages and I tried to use it as...

    Denied (w/o Interview) My first time applying to USC - Peter Stark Producing Program

    For the the application process was demanding though I did and uploaded everything required. I think the reason why I was rejected is that I was not personal and specific enough.

    Admitted (After Interview) USC Peter Stark Producing Program - MFA

    I've done it three times now so I was pretty familiar with the process. It was pretty standard, less work than other schools for sure(9 questions + 1 video introduction). The video was new this year, but I was authentic as I could be. Every time I got rejected, I found the next best option so I...

    Admitted (After Interview) Fall 2022- USC Peter Stark Producing Program

    The process for the Stark program is a little different as they have a total of eight questions that need to be answered rather than a personal statement or any writing samples/visual submissions. It was a little challenging trying to make all answers work together to tell my story, but...

    Need help deciding between USC Peter Stark and USC SCA MFA

    I tried searching for threads and here and coudn't find any other than one that went super in depth. I am interested in Showrunning or Directing. I love producing as well but not as much as the other two. I do editing and other work on the side but I'm not all that interested in learning the...
