    Admitted (After Interview) AFI Screenwriting

    The application process was great. Straightforward application, and my interviewers were really nice. I felt good about the materials I submitted and felt that my interview went well as we ended up going over time.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Emerson MFA Writing for Film & TV 2024

    Nothing special to report. No interviews or anything of the sort. All of the information was available online. I repurposed a lot of materials from my other apps since this was the last deadline.

    Admitted (After Interview) Brooklyn College MFA Live Action Cinema 2024

    Very smooth. They didn't ask for a large writing sample and the essay was all about why I wanted to pursue film at this point. The interview was good and I learned about how the MFA has changed into a general MFA in Live Action Cinema, versus screenwriting,

    Applied USC Writing for Film/Television Fall 2024

    It's been intersting. They had a unique application, rather than one or two big scripts to parse through, they gave 2 custom 5 page scenes they wanted. There were like a dozen mini essays. It seemed like they didn't want to get the same kit that every other school get's, so the essays are...

    Denied (w/o Interview) Undergrad Screenwriting Applicant- 2024

    I found the application to be a lot less intensive than expected. Nothing compared to say NYU. (The writing requirements for NYU and never-ending!) It actually felt like they cared very little what your past experience OR ability is. I have really no idea what they are looking for. I was...

    Waitlisted (w/o Interview) Undergrad Screenwriting Applicant- 2024

    Frustrating. Initially deferred after Early Action. Now notified I am on the Waitlist. With all the delays due ot FAFSA, I have no expectation of getting off the waitlist. I'll be going elsewhere.

    Admitted (After Interview) Got Into UCLA Screenwriting 2024

    I have no complaints. UCLA had one of the longer applications but I really enjoyed the interview and the timeliness of everything. To be honest, I had no faith that I would get in and really thought I had messed up my interview with a dumb joke I made because I was nervous. Everyone was...

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) FSU Screenwriting Fall 2024

    The application was fairly easy, but I wrote three original scenes for the application because they had three prompts. I did not submit the feature writing sample that I submitted to all the other film schools. As for the interview, I am surprised that they're asking us to fly ourselves to the...

    Applied USC SCA Writing for Screen and Television MFA

    This was my second time applying to USC, as I would love to attend. This time, it felt much more enjoyable to do the prompts (less pressure!). It's the same prompts as last year, so I took more creative chances and tried to write a thematic storyline across the prompts to show my personality...

    Applied FSU- Screenwriting

    Smoothly. The application portal is easy to navigate, and the school has been helpful with any questions I've had. I attended a virtual information session which was also very helpful, and they answered all the questions I and others had about the program.

    Applied Fall 2024- Writing for Screen and TV MFA

    It was my first time applying for any MFA program as well as any screenwriting program. I was overwhelmed by thte amount of work for the scholarship applications. Make sure to not forget about those should they be applicable for you, as it's an extra 4-5 questions plus an additional scene...

    Waitlisted (After Interview) NYU Rita & Burton Goldberg Department of Dramatic Writing MFA - Fall 2024

    Ehhhhh….it went okay! I did my SOP very very last minute and it may be the worst of the bunch, but it’s okay! Overall it was a much simpler application than some of the others. The SOP prompt is more “why this program” focused, so just come into it with a damn good reason “why NYU” and the SOP...

    Attending (Off Waitlist After Interview) UT Austin MFA in Screenwriting

    The application process for UT Austin's Radio-Television-Film Department MFA in Screenwriting went pretty smoothly thus far. It is definitely a good idea not to wait until the last moment to submit. Here are the bumps/obstacles I had: • I accidentally entered the wrong attendance dates for the...

    Denied (w/o Interview) Michener Center for Writers - Writing MFA (Screenwriting & Fiction)

    It was super nerve-wracking because the application portal is really clunky and weird. After I submitted my application and entered MyStatus, MyStatus always said it was "in review" which scared me a little bit. Also, every time you upload a document, it doesn't replace the old one, it just adds...

    Denied (w/o Interview) NYU Department of Dramatic Writing

    Application process was pretty straightforward. They asked for a half-hour or hour-long pilot, or a full length feature as creative portfolio, a statement of purpose and a creative resume with a list of published/produced work.

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) AFI Screenwriting - Fall 2024

    It was very, very nerve-wracking. I just wrote my 5-page screenplay tonight. I mulled over the personal statement way too much. I feel fairly confident about my 20-page screenplay sample, even though it's the first 20 pages of a feature. I'm hoping it goes well, but I'm trying not to get my...
