Heya! I applied for the production MFA and got my online interview on Feb 14th, still waiting for the result!

 

[nikifish]

I had an interview for a screenwriting program on February 7th. Since there wasn't a thread here before, I didn't post anything.

 

[KaraKANG]

Update: I just received the acceptance letter for Film Post production MFA literally a minute ago!

Congrats!! I received the acceptance letter from screenwriting MFA this morning. At first, I even didn't notice it was an acceptance letter since It's not a typical one and didn't give any next guidance. I think I need to ask about their next arrangement. Have you replied to them yet? I don't know what I should say.

I created a Chinese thread for another program:

Feel free to create your own as well and label it such. I'm sure other people who speak Chinese will appreciate as well.

Has anyone else gotten any acceptance news or anything? I still haven't seen anything and I'm getting pretty nervous, especially seeing that some people have already gotten their acceptance letters.

Hello! Congrats @nikifish and @KaraKANG. I got the acceptance letter two days back for their film production MFA. I emailed them requesting a meeting to discuss financial aid and other pre-requisites too. Will have to wait and see how that goes.

@liz_king, don't worry, I think it depends upon when the interview dates were. Mine was in end of february. Got the letter on 6th march.
