    Attending (Admitted After Interview) STONY BROOK MFA in Television Writing FALL 2026

    The process has been very engaging. It required a well-rounded portfolio consisting of a writing sample, a 10-page script, and a video pitch. Along with the statement of purpose and three letters of recommendation.

    Admitted (After Interview) 2025 Entry - Royal Central School for Speech and Drama MA in Writing for Theatre, Film, Radio and Television

    So far so good! CV, 20 page sample, and at least one letter of recommendation. But interactions with the program thru online informational sessions have been very helpful! Interview was 30 minutes. Casual chat with a senior lecturer. Discussed why the program, what I’m working on, and the...

    Attending (Admitted w/o Interview) USC- Writing for TV & Screen MFA 2025

    Not sure if this is helpful, but a little about me: I graduated with BFA in acting from UNCSA in 2018. Did UCLA's Professional Program in 2022-2023 where I won the drama pilot competition at the end of the program and was featured in Deadline. Had a few other high placements in competitions and...

    Admitted (w/o Interview) USC Writing for Screen and Television - Fall 2023

    I made the decision to just enjoy the prompts this year rather than trying to write the best thing known to man (a sentiment many can relate to I am sure). I enjoyed finding new ways to use the prompts as they didn't change from last year and it was actually clear that my skill had improved from...

    Attending (Off Waitlist After Interview) LMU Writing and Producing for TV 2022

    There's a bit more work to do for LMU but I enjoyed the process of preparing the creative materials for the program. I submitted a short story about myself, a 3-5 page prompt as well as two creative writing samples.

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) LMU - TV Writing and Producing 2022

    The application process was pretty easy but I did notice that LMU required more writing samples than other programs that I've applied to so far. Other than that it was pretty straightforward. I also had an undergrad film professor that went to LMU so I reached out to him for a recommendation, I...

    Admitted (After Interview) Boston University - M.S. in Television

    BU didn't do an interview, but rather included filmed interview questions as part of their application. The way this worked is a video would play that asked a question, you get 45 seconds to think of an answer, and then your camera turns on for 90 seconds for you to reply. No going back once...

    Denied (After Interview) Chapman TV Writing & Producing

    Applied with all of the required materials. They didn't request to see any of the items on my portfolio before scheduling an interview. The interview was somewhat casual. They asked about my experiences in undergrad and my internship before shifting gears to discuss my interests in television...

    Admitted (After Interview) Chapman - TV Writing & Producing

    First time applying. I'm a little suspicious about the "minimal" requirements of a narrative statement and a description of an episode about my family compared to what I've had to produce for my other applications, but intrigued by the program.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) USC Writing for Screen and TV

    First time applying and fully recognize that I have never written a script of any sort before yet decided why not apply to one of the top schools in the country? Making a massive career change. It's quite the story - music journalist > marketing professional > hopeful television writer, all...

    Hey everyone! I'm a college senior graduating this December with a degree in film. I'm excited by the idea of writing features, but my interest is mainly television. Since the application period coincides with the tail-end of my thesis (and I don't have much money), I'm trying to be...
