Just wondering who will be applying this Fall and Winter/Spring for Fall 2012 admission. What's your background?
I'm starting my applications this summer and I hope to be accepted into an MFA program in Fall 2012. Ideally, I want to be a TV writer, so I'm trying to focus on TV specific programs if possible.
I plan on applying to:
USC (MFA Screenwriting - TV Emphasis)
LMU (MFA TV Writing and Producing)
Pepperdine University (MFA Screenwriting - TV Emphasis)
Chapman University (MFA Screenwriting)
CSU Fullerton (MFA Screenwriting)
CSU Northridge (MFA Screenwriting)
Currently finishing my undergrad at UC Berkeley. 2.9 GPA. Film Studies major. Disability Studies minor. Don't have any industry-related internships or experience, but I do have a paid internship with a disability rights organization and I write articles and have done 2 video projects with them.
I haven't taken the GRE yet, but I plan to in August, though I know my scores won't be very good.
I've spent the last 2 years of my undergrad building my scriptwriting portfolio and, with the exception of a feature-length screenplay I started writing for a Screenwriting class, I have developed my portfolio completely on my own (4 short film scripts, 2 TV spec scripts and a work-in-progress TV drama pilot) and am currently working on more scripts for the applications. I think I can manage strong essays, personal statements and writing samples (hopefully), but still not sure I'll get in anywhere.
I also know that I'm gonna ask for letters of recommendation from 2 professors and my internship supervisor.
Anyone else hoping to get into an MFA program in Fall 2012?
