    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.

    Waitlisted (After Interview) AFI - Producing

    It was not too difficult comparing to USC but I tried my best to ensure all requirements were met from uploading everything that is needed to fitting each essay into given standards. Also made each writing really personal and showed my passion for film industry. If talking about interview, I...

    Denied (w/o Interview) USC - Production

    I enjoyed the process. I really liked the photography option over the video. Overall the application is easy to complete not as tedious as some other schools.

    Applied Columbia University - Creative Producing

    The written task is challenging and creative. I did my best. It gives you a great opportunity to show the admissions office your taste and what kind of stories you're interested in :)

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) AFI Producing Fall 2023

    I think afi got the best version of my personal statement compared to the other schools as I could write up to 3 pages and I did fill up those 3 pages haha. This actually allowed me to discuss my inspirations, current work/skills and future aspirations in good detail. The dates mentioned above...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) UGA - Fall 2023

    It has been going well I believe! Shared a google drive document with hyperlinks to portfolio films and other supplemental materials. Writing sample was an extended version of a short I started making specifically for graduate applications. I figured, plenty of other shorts have been later made...

    Admitted (After Interview) Chapman - MFA in Film & Television Production

    The application process was nice. When applying for a producing MFA, I was not expecting to film/edit a video essay. If you're applying to this course in the future, don't hesitate to reach out to me if I can be of any help!

    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...

    Attending (Off Waitlist After Interview) UGA - MFA in Film, Television, and Digital Media Fall 2023

    It's a pretty easy process! Your main application is your 15-20 page script (I did a TV script) and your 3-page statement of purpose. During the general info session (which I attended virtually, since I'm not from Georgia), a big thing they talked about in terms of who they're looking for is...
