    USC Film and TV Production MFA - role of screenwriting

    Admitted (After Interview) DRAMATIC WRITING MFA FALL 2026 NYU TISCH

    It's gone well! I completely rewrote my pilot like three days before it was due, which probably wasn't the best decision, but I ended up being really happy with it.

    Applied Northwestern Writing for Screen and Stage MFA

    The application itself was fine, getting letter of recs was pretty stressful! But now that its over, I think the hardest part now is waiting to see if I get in or not.

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) Chapman University - Showrunner MFA

    Simple application rather straight forward. Need a narrative essay, a transformational essay, statement of intent, and portfolio. Each prompt needed no clarification. Need to know basics of a screenplay for multiple prompts. The most simple and straightforward of all applications in my opinion.

    I've really enjoyed myself! It inspired me to write and gave me the motivation to finish my screenplay! I submitted a half an hour pilot in US format. I did find it really hard writing the statement of purpose with such a small amount of words but I was really happy with it in the end after...
