Hi, may I ask which specialization were you applying for？ I applied for the director path and haven't heard anything after the interview. The interview was on March 1st.

I applied for cinematography and my interview was on 26th feb

Is it safe to assume that if we didn't get a decision notification by now, we weren't accepted?

Hi all - I'm a current writing MFA student at FSU so don't hesitate to message me with any questions as well!!

I am looking to apply to FSU - MFA Writing (International student)
I don't see any details on the total credit hours required for the program to estimate the tuition cost.

Could you help me with that info?

Thank you!

I think you are right
But I am still waiting.

Good luck! If you have any questions, I'm a second year screenwriter but can answer about the production program too!

Hi there! I got an email saying that I am in the waitlist for the production program, and I really want to know how likely for a student to be admitted from the waitlist. Are they taking a lot of students, or only a few of the lucky guys?
Thank you!

There's still a good chance you can get in over the summer! I got in my first year applying just a few days before the semester started (I had to say no but I reapplied the next year), so definitely worth staying on the waitlist! Life happens, people sometimes have to give up their spot or decide they no longer want to go to grad school. What's your speciality?

Thank you! I applied the director specialty, and I am staying in the waitlist now, but I am an international student so it could be very difficult for me if I get in the last minutes I will need to prepare a lot of documents to get into the US. Hoping there will be some opening spots soon.

I recently declined my admission offer for the graduate program at FSU so maybe someone from the waitlist will get an offer soon, hopefully.
