    Interview Scheduled Columbia MFA - 2026

    I thoroughly enjoyed writing the creative materials and my autobiographical essay. I am logging this after I applied so the application process for me was interesting, I actually wrote all three prompts and then chose the one I felt was the best one. For the autobiographical essay, I wrote a...

    Interviewed Columbia Writing for Film and Television Fall 2025

    The application process was not bad! A personal statement with no word count, just 3 to 4 pages double spaced. A film prompt where they give you a scene heading and you must complete the screenplay within 3 pages. A submission of your work and a feature film treatment. The feature film treatment...

    Admitted (After Interview) Columbia Writing for Film and TV MFA - Fall 2025

    Good! I submitted ten pages of a script I wrote for class.

This was my first time applying and I only applied to Columbia and Northwestern because they were...

    Attending (Off Waitlist After Interview) Columbia - Writing for Film & Television MFA - Fall 2025

    Everything has gone smoothly. The admissions office representative I connected with was very warm and helpful! Pleasantly surprised to have received an interview invite. Admitted off the waitlist for Screenwriting & Directing instead of Writing for Film & TV... which I'm okay with! Attending.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Emerson MFA Writing for Film and Television - Fall 2024

    Smooth, easy process It's my second time doing it since last year I got waitlisted. Changed my writing sample, got some unique experience I hope they like, and I submitted before the priority deadline so fingers crossed. Pretty basic questions they ask for the personal essay and the writing...

    Attending (Admitted w/o Interview) USC Writing for Screen and TV MFA 2024

    It wasn't bad. But then again, I tackled the application in phases. The first was the basic application information and transcripts. The second was the creative portfolio and resume. Phase 3 was the creative challenges and the essays, all of which I'm attaching. And the final phase was the...

    Denied (After Interview) Columbia Writing for Film & TV MFA - Fall 2023

    Honestly, I feel kind of slighted with this one because I had the opportunity to interview with three faculty members and thought it went pretty well. Maybe the fact that the interview didn't flow as smoothly or easily as Chapman's should have clued me in that I wasn't going to get in. Oh...

    Admitted (w/o Interview) USC Writing for Screen & Television - Fall 2022

    First time applying, international student, 4 years working experience. Application was smooth, if expensive. Getting IELTS scores synced was nerve-wracking and I ended up emailing to make sure they were synced.

    Admitted (w/o Interview) Emerson College - MFA in Writing for Film and Television (Fall 2022)

    Emerson's application is straightforward and has one of the latest deadlines of many programs so you have plenty of time to refine application materials. I am lowkey in love with this program. It's online, so I don't have to worry about moving from a low-income neighborhood to one of the most...
