    Waitlisted (w/o Interview) MFA in Creative Writing & Writing for the Performing Arts - Fall 2026

    Nothing new. Started early enough because apart from Northwestern, this requires more statements than other schools. Surprised to get an email notifying me that I’m on the waitlist. Hoping for the best at this point.

    Admitted (After Interview) FSU Motion Picture Arts - Writing MFA - Fall 2026

    Interestingly challenging process because you surely have to write new materials for the sake of the application. Had a virtual interview being an international applicant. Others had to do in-person.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Missouri State - Dramatic Writing - Fall 2025

    Applied through GradCas. A 10-page writing sample is required, which could be a screenplay, stage play or prose. I submitted a screenplay. They offer a graduate assistantship that covers tuition and living expense, which I missed because I submitted my application way passed the priority deadline.

    Denied (w/o Interview) USC MFA Writing for Screen & Television

    Pretty straightforward application. USC has pretty lame admin though, slightly disorganised and take ages to reply to emails. Other than that, I enjoyed the application

    Applied UCR Creative Writing and Writing for the Performing Arts - Fall 2025

    Apart from Northwestern, it's the only school that requires so many essays. Though a bit stressful writing multiple essays for each school, it's quite an insightful experience. The prompts make it easier to tell your story, answering their questions in the process.

    Denied (w/o Interview) Writing for the Screen and Stage

    My second time applying to Northwestern's MFA in writing for the Screen and Stage program. I submitted an Academic Statement, a Writer's Statement and a Personal Statement having to do with diversity, equity and inclusion. I also submitted a 10-page screenplay. Overall it wasn't as stressful...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) Stony Brook University - Manhattan Fall 2024

    I spent a few weeks crafting my SOP at my local cafe and got some feedback from friends (including one who went to grad school at AFI). I was proud of it. They also require a video which I saved for last and the process was complicated by a health issue I had. My video was not my best work. They...

    Denied (w/o Interview) NYU Tisch Dramatic Writing MFA - 24'-26'

    The application process is simple and straightforward. No wonder NYU is so competitive. There is so little space to prove yourself to the admissions committee, so make sure you are utilizing the space in your application materials wisely. It's really the strength of your writing sample and...

    Denied (w/o Interview) USC - Writing for Screen & Television

    This program does not interview applicants. USC sends out rejection letters just a few days after acceptance ones (I never got an email with a notification, I just went and checked my yousc portal).

    Admitted but Not Attending (w/o Interview) Emerson - Writing for Film and Television

    The application was simple, I applied for the priority deadline so I'd have the best shot at getting as much funding as possible. The essay requirements and the writing sample weren't strenuous at all, I was able to use the same sample I'd used in another application. The thing I most...

    Stonybrook MFA in TV Writing Question

    Does anyone know about Stonybrook's MFA in TV Writing program? Just, generally speaking...? More specifically, to what degree do the women at Killer Films participate in the writers' educations and career advancement? There are reviews on this site, but, to be blunt, they read like they were...
