    Interview Scheduled AFI PRODUCING - 2026

    Application was similar to other MFA programs. I have minimal experience in actual film production since my undergrad was not in film and my film experience is all in awards campaigns, distribution, and film festivals, but I think I made it work and I'm happy with what I submitted.

    Applied Columbia SOA - MFA Creative Producing

    I spent 5 weeks prepping materials after attending the in-person info session. The autobiographical essay was the most challenging / rewarding - learned a lot about myself and my goals. Very grateful for the deadline extension!

    Applied NYU TISH DUAL DEGREE MFA/MBA

    The application process so far has been challenging, clarifying, and unexpectedly affirming. It has required me to slow down and take inventory of the last several years—my academic journey, my leadership roles, the films I’ve created, and the experiences that have shaped my voice. In pushing...

    Interviewed NFTS - MA Producing Spring 2026

    The application was pervasive and thorough but straightforward. I wish I had started it earlier and not procrastinated. It's crucial to attach your supporting materials to your application. There was a mistake with my submission, but the school reached out and allowed me to resubmit. I hope I...

    Denied (w/o Interview) UCLA Producing

    Rejected. Applied to the program due to cost of attendance as an instate resident; however, was hesitant in initially applying due to program being in a transition state. Was warned by a colleague prior that due to my experience level I would not make it through UCLA's review process, and to...

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) Columbia Creative Producing

    Great interview. Worked prior with a faculty member, which was a motivating factor in the application process. Would have loved to attended, but declined due to a number of reasons (personal, financial, strategic).

    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...

    Interviewed USC Peter Stark Producing Program MFA

    Applied last year and didn't feel great about my application. My first time around, I was trying way to hard to be the student they wanted to admit that I lost my voice in all my essay responses. This time, I gave myself permission to be more creative and vulnerable in the application as a...

    Admitted (Off Waitlist After Interview) NYU MBA/MFA Dual Degree

    Honestly, the dual degree application is the longest thing I’ve ever seen and it really tests our passion and dedication. I really enjoyed it and I think everything they ask for allows us to fully express our ideas.

    Admitted (After Interview) Chapman Dodge college MFA in Film and Television Producing

    The question is straightforward, but it still makes me nervous. The required documents were neither numerous nor difficult compared to other film schools' requirements. Additionally, as an international student, I find that Dodge College sets the highest minimum score for English proficiency...

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) Loyola Marymount - MFA Writing and Producing for Television

    Simple, well-put together application and fairly straight-forward. All materials have long descriptions of expectations. A video portion is required to answer questions. Full-length original 1/2 hour screenplay a major factor in the application

    Denied (After Interview) AFI MFA Producing Program

    The application itself was pretty straightforward. I was a little disappointed with the online info sessions, since the one I attended was not at all geared toward helping current applicants. The moderator was just asking a group of grads about their experience at AFI, but not in a helpful way...

    Applied USC MFA Peter Stark Producing Program

    I'm pretty verbose by nature, so the character limits were tough. Other than that, I found the application pretty straightforward. I applied to more than one program, and they do ask you to rank them in order of preference.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) NYU Tisch Film BFA Undergrad Fall 2024

    This is a very extensive application process. Be prepared to start early and revise, revise, revise. Another point I noticed: the admissions office was VERY responsive and very friendly. They always gave a welcoming reply and I never felt like they were judging me (big contrast to how my UCLA...

    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.
