    Admitted (After Interview) Chapman Showrunner Program MFA

    Application process was pretty smooth. Submitted past the due date since there was an extension. Sent in the first 10 pages of a pilot episode I’d written. Probably the best interview experience I had by professor and former program director. The conversation flowed really nicely and they...

    USC vs. AFI Producing MFA for an aspiring showrunner

    Hi, everyone! First off, I want to say that I'm aware that this is a great problem to have, but I still want to ensure that I make the right choice, so any input is appreciated. My ideal career goal would be to be a television showrunner or upper-level television writer/producer. I have a BFA...

    Admitted (After Interview) Chapman Television Writing & Producing

    It was definitely different preparing for Chapman because you don't submit your past work, but rather essays and writing prompts. Luckily, I researched a year out and was prepared for when applications opened up.

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) Chapman - TV Writing and Producing

    The Chapman application was pretty easy, it only required two brief writing samples as opposed to some schools that require full pilots. Because the writing samples were so small, I made sure that they were really polished.

    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...

    LIU Brooklyn - MFA in Writing and Producing for Television

    Any thoughts on this program and its reputation? Would love to especially hear from both current students/alumni and also people who were accepted and chose not to attend.

    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...

    Admitted (After Interview) Long Island University - Writing and Producing for TV MFA

    The director of the program is super friendly, always willing to answer questions or clarify bits of the program. There were also several events for interested students in the fall, despite this being a program with a rolling admissions date.

    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...

    Applied LMU - Writing & Producing for TV - Fall 2020

    First time applying and don't think this is my strongest application of the 4 I submitted, but it's done and now I don't know what do do with myself without a mountain of material to go write after work. Happen to have strained ligaments in my hand (or something, TBD) - not the best time to have...
