    Attending (Off Waitlist After Interview) UT Austin - MFA Screenwriting

    This was a pretty straightforward application and it was definitely a quicker process than many others schools. I'm currently waitlisted at UT, which isn't surprising considering they only take 7 new students per cohort. I'm holding my breath until the end! We're supposed to hear back by April 18.

    Denied (w/o Interview) UT Austin - Rejected

    I had to send my portfolio, my resume, write a letter of intent, and submit my school info to UT Austin. This whole process took a week or two and it was a part of a two step process. You also have to send in letters of recommendation as well. I believe you have to send in either two or three...

    Denied (w/o Interview) UT Austin MFA in Writing (Michener) - 2024

    When I submitted it, I felt like my statement was either great or a dumpster fire... so there is that. Other than that, though, I submitted the same sample as for the Screenwriting MFA, so not too many new variables here. I do, however, have a special interest in theatre (the main character of...

    Waitlisted (After Interview) UT Austin MFA in Screenwriting - 2024

    Just fine! Submitting Michener on the same day was a bit stressful, but I got it done — LOL. + I was pleasantly surprised to receive the interview request, but we will see what happens. 😁👍

    Denied (After Interview) UT Austin - 2024 MFA Film & Media Production

    I thought the application was fairly easy compared to other schools since they don’t require many materials. However that did make me worried about how well my ability and style came across.

    Denied (w/o Interview) UT Austin Screenwriting MFA - Fall 2024

    This was my first time applying. I feel like the application was straightforward and easy. I submitted one feature film script as my writing sample. I was encouraged to apply by one of my undergraduate professors. I am hoping to get an interview but we will have to wait and see.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) UT Austin Fall 2024 Undergrad

    Applying to film school is exhausting and a lot to manage with school, activities, classes, college applications, portals, and creative supplements. However, as you go through the process you learn more about yourself and feel like each application gets better. Yes, I wish I would have started...

    Denied (w/o Interview) UT Austin - Screenwriting MFA

    Process was easy going, you apply on ApplyTexas first then you wait a few days and you submit your materials on the UT Austin portal. I submitted a 90 page feature length comedy for my portfolio. I opted out of submitting a secondary piece of writing. I did not get accepted, but ultimately was...

    Denied (w/o Interview) UT Austin MFA Film & Media Production - Fall 2023

    Materials are much less than in other programs. I really like the program and courses. It was my first choice but too difficult to enter. (You can find me on Instagram. Feel free to ask.)

    Denied (w/o Interview) UT Film Production MFA 2023

    First time applying. Pretty standard application. Didn't hear back from them for a while. I don't think they interview. Asked when decisions would be made and didn't get a reply until the rejection lol (admittedly only a couple of days later).

    UT Austin - Film & Media Production MFA Applicants 2023

    Hey y'all, I know we're getting pretty close to the (theoretical) notification date, and I wanted to see who else is waiting in anticipation. Also, when did your portfolio materials get viewed? Mine weren't reviewed until January 16th, and some of my materials were not as watched as others...

    I would recommend starting the process AT LEAST a month in advance. There is a whole thing to go through with applying for the Texas universities section, and then a few days after that you can start the actual MFA application.

    Denied (w/o Interview) UT-Austin - Michener - Screenwriting MFA - Fall 2023

    First time applying. Compared to other schools, this application is incredibly basic. It's a relief, but you better make the best use of that statement of purpose, because that's all you get to introduce yourself besides your feature. Eeee!

    Denied (w/o Interview) UT Austin Film & Media Production - Fall 2023

    A bit of a hassle with all the change in webpages it requires but all in all quite simple and "efortless" compared to other schools' programs. It would be a great program to attend, at a great cost. Though it is not always in my top 3 (depends on the day haha), it for sure is in my top 4.

    Good TX undergrad film schools?

    I want to go to a undergrad college in TX for film. I know UT Austin is highly considered when it comes to film, but I've heard the classes there are more theoretical and you don't get much creative freedom/actual hands-on filming experience. Is this with every college, or just UT? Does anyone...

    Hi guys I am in the incredibly lucky position where I got into four amazing film programs. I took an oversea trip to visit all four schools thinking I would be able to know which school is right for me after my visits. But I am now three days away from the commitment deadline, and I...
