    Applied UCLA Graduate Producing MFA

    The Nov 1 deadline was definitely a stressor, but we made it. I found the formatting "guidance" in the TFT PDF to be pretty confusing: "When applicable, Supplemental Materials must be uploaded in PDF Format, 12 point font, double-spaced, use 8 ½ by 11 page size, and not exceed the indicated page...

    Admitted (After Interview) UCLA Screenwriting MFA 2024

    The application process overall was pretty straightforward. Preparing and Submitting the materials was easily done in the portal. When they got back to me for an interview, I didn't see the first email sent on the 24th due to it being in my spam. Thankfully the time-sensitive email went to my...

    Interviewed UCLA Directing MFA Program

    I reached out to the admissions email on March 28th, 2024, and they replied saying the application is still in process. Honestly, in my humble opinion, I felt good about my last interview with UCLA, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much. It's tough, especially after getting rejected...

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) UCLA MFA Film Production (Directing) - 2024

    It’s been a long, windy road. I only applied to two programs for Film and the rest were MA/PhD programs. The UCLA application is simpler in nature, I’d just suggest really taking the writing sample seriously. If I can offer any advice, it’d be to write from something you know that you can...

    UCLA scenic design vs AFI production design

    Hi everyone, My name is Hazel, and I am from South Korea. This year, I got accepted into both UCLA for scenic design and AFI for Production Design. However, I am finding it challenging to decide where to go, and I was hoping someone could help me out. While I want to go to UCLA, I am concerned...

    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...

    Applied UCLA - Cinematography MFA

    The essay on cinematography seemed… like homework which I used to do in my undergraduate program. I don’t know why they separated PS and SOP unlike other film schools. Anyway, I hope it will work for admitting!

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) UCLA design for theater and entertainment

    There are many additional materials required by UCLA, and there are additional requirements for portfolio page sizes. I don't know why their college is responding to emails very slowly.

    Denied (After Interview) UCLA Screenwriting MFA 2024

    Not bad. I spent a reasonable amount of time refining the essays. My Statement of Purpose is geared toward why UCLA, how the Screenwriting program will help me beef up my skillset, why I want to work with Phyllis Nagy, George Huang, and Jill Goldsmith, and what I intend to do career-wise with...
