    Admitted (After Interview) Northwestern - Writing for the Screen + Stage MFA Fall 2025

    The application process was really smooth! The website's very clear with what's needed and gives you prompts for all the supplements. I began working on it in September, which was also when I established my three recommenders. I let them know that I wanted to submit my application by December...

    Admitted (After Interview) Columbia Film MFA - TV Writing Concetration

    The extension this year was helpful. Letters of rec is always the hardest because people are busy. I forgot to convert everything to courier, but i still got an interview request - so i feel that their consideration of the content of the application is very compassionate and humanistic.

    Admitted (After Interview) Stony Brook TV Writing MFA

    Great! It was the only program I had to submit a video pitch/introduction for. Thought that would be scary but it ended up being fun. Other than that, pretty usual stuff like a personal statement, scene from a prompt, 10 page writing sample, and a short pitch for a future project. I really...

    Admitted (After Interview) LMU Writing and Producing for Television MFA Fall 2022

    The process was straightforward like the others. The time-intensive parts were the creative samples: two half-hour scripts and one creative challenge. I re-used the same personal statement I wrote for my USC application and re-recorded the same personal "Video Recording" I used for USC.

    Everything has gone well! The interview was relaxed and casual. It generally turned into a conversation more than an interview at times which was nice.

    Emerson Writing for Film and Television MFA 2022

    Is anyone else applying to this program this year? Emerson is pretty high on almost every film school ranking but I haven't been able to find too much information about their MFA in Film and TV writing MFA outside of what's on their site and the few threads I've seen on here. The curriculum...
