    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...

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...

    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...

    Applied UCLA Screenwriting MFA Fall 2022

    Just been through a hard time. I decided to apply for this program at a very late time, at about the end of September. This program is one of the few screenwriting programs that requires a feature-length screenplay, which is a really hard task. Cost me a month to finish writing that, terrible...
