    self confidence issues

    Hi everyone! Does anybody else feel cringe/ashamed of what they wrote after reading it and visualizing very realistically the inner thoughts of the prospected readers? :' I'm currently trying to write a screenplay but I cannot help but think nobody will like it and the crew (especially the...

    Denied (w/o Interview) Boston University - Screenwriting MFA

    Never got an interview, so I really just applied and it was radio silence until they emailed me that I did not get in. I submitted really early and was fairly confident in my application, but I didn't want to continue with a screenwriting education all that much so I wasn't too torn up about this.

    Waitlisted (w/o Interview) USC SCA Writing for Screen and Television Fall 2024

    My second time applying for the program. The first time, I didn't hear back but this time was waitlisted. This year, I felt more confident and happy with my materials than my last cycle. I think it helped that I'm a few years out from undergraduate and had more time to get industry and writing...

    Applied USC - Fall 2024

    I think USC asked for a lot of things compared to other schools. It was pretty intense to handle everything, but I think I've done a good job at the end. Also applied last year, but didn't get in, so let's see how it goes this time - fingers crossed!

    Applied USC Screen writing B.A.

    For me personally it was pretty stressful and not for any external factors, mostly because I didn't properly comprehend the portfolio instructions. Basically I did the regular little application on common app and then ofc I was on my way to do the portfolio but from my understanding I was only...

    Screenwriting MFA 2023, UCLA vs USC, which one to choose?

    Hi guys! I got accepted by both USC's John Wells Division of Writing for Screen & Television and UCLA's TFT Screenwriting. I had a very nice interview with UCLA, but I'm very concerned about TFT's status reading last year's post. Is the Screenwriting department also in deep trouble? For USC...

    Denied (w/o Interview) AFI Screenwriting - Fall 2023

    In general, it's pretty ok. If you planned, you can do it all! don't worry. But for my, speaking as someone with anxiety, it's being pretty stressful. I worry if what I did is not good enough and I spend the whole day checking my email to see if I get a interview.

    Denied (w/o Interview) AFI - Screenwriting Fall 2023

    It was easy but had a problem with the payment tab. I mailed AFi admission which was very helpful. Liked the process of application. As English is not my first language and I'm applying for screenwriting which is a doubt for me. Today I saw many people here who have received interview call and...

    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...

    The application process was easy and straightforward. This was my first application for a MA program, and the steps required to complete the application was laid out well. The school asks for the usual essays, documents, and writing samples that other schools also require to submit. For me...

    Where should I go? UAL or University of Manchester with an amazing professor?

    The course leader of their MA Screenwriting program is the former course leader at London Film School. I really admire him a lot because of the interview we had and I love the course details he set. Plus, this program is on a very small scale (12 students per year) which I believe would provide...

    Admitted (After Interview) Columbia Directing/Screenwriting MFA

    Proud of my visual sample. I liked the three-paged scene I submitted. Wrote the short in a day or two so it wasn't my best but it had a good enough concept. And my feature treatment was like, okay. Interview also went well. Generally, the faculty spoke to me about my visual sample. It's what...

    Admitted (After Interview) LMU SFTV Screenwriting MFA

    The process of applying has been both nerve wracking and awesome. Sitting and picking myself apart over the past couple months, while I wait on responses hasn't been fun, lol. Still, every interaction I have had with LMU's faculty and staff have been great, I had a great feeling about them in...

    Admitted (w/o Interview) USC Writing for Screen and Television - 2022

    USC was a bit hard. They ask for a lot of stuff - 2 creative challenges, 2 creative essays, a writing sample AND a creative portfolio with a very specific format. Plus an extra scene if you want to request a scholarship. So it's a lot of work. Also the waiting is killer because there's no...
