Chapman MFA Screenwriting Applicants 2021

Anyone else's portal update? I've been worrying about what a blank portal means alllllll night 😂
Same! I applied to Directing. I also applied at Chapman to creative writing and was accepted a few weeks ago. I received an email to check my portal and when I did the portal had changed and my checklist was gone, but I also had a link to a letter with my acceptance decision. This time no link, no email, no letter - just no checklist lol whyyyyyy

Be sure to update your Applications with all the decision info and share your portfolios or application materials on them if you're willing.

Also be sure to update or add your Applications of you got Waitlisted or rejected as that'll seriously help us figure out how many people from the Waitlist get admitted.

There's also new fields for age, county, film experience, and Scholarship awarded that will be very helpful to future applicants.


The more info people can add the more info we have for each program to better help people.
 
Hi Everyone- lurker since the fall and I just got my acceptance as well! I'm a little thrown off by the two week decision time. Anyone know the reason for the short turn around time?
Thanks to you all! And congrats :)
Congrats to you as well! That’s weird. My decision isn’t due until April 15, but it’s for the directing program not screenwriting. I agree that’s short! Maybe email Eva?

Ah okay, maybe it is based on the program? It does feel like a very quick window to make a big decision. I emailed Melissa because she was listed as the graduate admissions counselor, but I will let you know what I find out! :)
 
Congratulations everyone!!

Patiently Waiting around here!
