Columbia - Writing for Film and Television MFA 2025

[isadorabliss]

Hey Y'all! Making this thread for the Writing for Film and Television MFA for Columbia. I saw in the S&D thread that some people have already gotten acceptances back. Currently trying to not lose hope, I got interviewed on the 24th of last month by Trey and wondering if anyone else is still waiting to hear back. This has by far been the longest application process
