Hey all,
Browsing through the forums here, I came across a few samples of SOPs, screenplays and so on of folks who have been accepted before and have graciously shared this stuff on the site, and couldn’t help but think what a great resource this would be for all current and future applications to make a kind of “Master Thread” with all those materials. And this is it!
I’ve copied the materials I found (and it’s not much, yet) to a Google drive folder which I wanted to share with y’all: Folder with Written Materials of Accepted MFA Applications.
The materials are organized by user name. I’ve taking the liberty of placing files already shared openly by the following users: @JLWilco, @Michel Lichand, @Olivia Song and @Teddy. So a hearty thanks goes out to you guys who have generously shared.
And since we are in a celebratory time for many of the users here who are just now getting their accepts, I thought this would be a great time to ask those who are willing to share their written materials here (I’ve seen other threads with Vimeo links, so thought it would be best to limit it to application materials):
- Resume
- Statement of Purpose
- Screenplays
- Writing samples
- Essays
- Letters of reference
- Portfolio List
So if you are willing (and that would be awesome) just post them here in the forum (as per your suggestion @Chris W), and copy them into the Google Drive Folder (best would be under your user name, as well as which school or schools the application was for).
I think most useful would be to share the applications “that worked” so we can get get insights into them.
