Hey All,

I keep going back and forth as to whether I care to even apply for grad school, I'm just so worn out. Anyway, does anyone know if I submit my app for this program, do my recommenders also have to submit their letters by December 1st? I feel so terrible because this is a last minute decision for me and I'd hate to give them a thirteen day window to submit.

If recommenders can submit after the first then I'm going to apply and if they can't, I'm just not up to doing it right now.

**EDIT** Your letters of rec and transcripts are not due at the time of application which means your recommenders do have more time to complete their letters beyond December 1st.

However, I am still not going to apply due to the high cost of this program. Good luck to all those applying!

-Courtney

Hey @Chris W would love Chapman to be the next school for you to interview regarding admissions. There's not a lot of info, especially in the Screenwriting discipline, so it would be nice to know a little more about Dodge and what they look for.

Thanks!!!
