    Applied UCLA - eileenmcn

    This application was stange because it does not contain a media submission. Beyond that it was the first I submitted so I do cringe a little looking back at the way I structured my answers. I liked that the materials were specific to the goals we are meant to carry out in the program.

    Applied UCLA - Directing/Film Production Fall 2022

    I was pretty surprised that they didn't request any video submissions. Overall I got the vibe that they're doing a holistic review of our perceived potential as well as fit within the program. Overall I'm just hoping for the best on this one!

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) UCLA - Producers Program MFA - Fall 2022

    It was a bit of a rush because the deadline was not clear and the website also opened a few days after its planned opening. As an international student, it was difficult to have clear guidelines for things that are not usual to do for our applications.

    Admitted but Not Attending (After Interview) UCLA Producers Program 2022

    There were changes to the program curriculum after taking a year hiatus from applications. The updates were not made to the website until a month before. There were not obvious ways to interact with the program staff or admission office ahead of applications.

    Admitted (After Interview) UCLA Screenwriting 2022

    Good! It was my first application submitted in the whole cycle and I found a lot of mistakes after I submitted so I was quite stressed but super happy to see I have an interview!

    Applied usc-2022

    Stressful! DUH. I applied to UCLA, USC, AFI, and Cal Arts. Making the materials was mostly fun but I had an animation project literally fall apart without time to correct so I had to create a new concept close to the deadline. That wasn't the worst part, the worst part was watching my essays...

    Applied UCLA Directing/Film Production MFA

    Honestly, the whole process has been pretty taxing for me. I applied to all the programs I had applied to and I wasn't quite happy with my portfolio. In the month of November, I made two shorts that I am pretty happy with in hopes that they would boost my chances of getting into programs. That...

    Denied (w/o Interview) UCLA PRODUCING/DIRECTING FALL 2022

    First time writing a short film treatment, but I think it went well!! Thought it was odd that the application required a personal statement AND a statement of intent.

    Admitted (After Interview) UCLA MFA Design for Theater and Entertainment

    Very straightforward process. Their application is very easy to follow. I tried including a bit of everything and hope that'll be okay as they seem to have a strong focus on theater design compared to production design in general.

    Applied FALL 2022 - UCLA Screenwriting MFA

    Pretty well - but by far, UCLA's information was the most infuriating. When they put up the new 2021 portal, they hadn't changed the submission information so I was working on different application materials until I realised they'd changed it. Not to mention, their Personal Statement and...

    Applied UCLA Producers Program - FA'22

    This application process goes smooth if you begin mid-September--as soon as the UCLA application uploads. Started with the statement of purpose (500 words) and two feature film treatments (took a script and transformed it into treatment and did one from scratch.) The producer program...

    UCLA Producers Program 2022

    Hey there, I submitted my application to the UCLA Producers Program last night and was going over the application proof to make sure everything was submitted properly. I noticed that I could see each document that I posted except for the Producers Questionnaire. Has this happened for anyone else?

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) UCLA MFA in Production/Directing - Fall 2022

    I've put off applying to graduate programs for the past few years, so I'm excited to finally be doing it, but I'm also very nervous. UCLA's information was a little hard to find and the instructions were a bit confusing (like stating a page length requirement in one place and word count in another.)

    Applied UCLA MFA in Production/Direction - Narrative for Fall 2022

    I was very nervous about doing something wrong!o_O But I managed to apply!! ;) I found it very difficult to get in touch with the admissions office, and they took a long time to answer my questions. Being an international student applying (perhaps just for Portuguese students?!) the hardest part...
