Decided I'll give film-grad school another go for Fall 2021. I'm almost done with a non-film masters degree, and want to go back to film after that is done
So far my options will be:
1) Chapman - MFA/Film & Television Production
2) Chapman - MFA/Television Writing and Producing
3) USC - MFA/Producing
4) DePaul - MFA/Creative Producing
5) Columbia - MFA/Creative Producing
6) American - MFA/Film & Media Arts
 
USC - MFA/Producing
You've probably seen it.... But the interview with USC admissions is helpful.

However, the film school’s prestige can often make the application process particularly stressful and...

It sometimes takes a lot of tries before people get in.

Are you mixing up and redoing your portfolios and essays?
 
I change my stuff every year. Although I am going to go back and take a look at the application that got me waitlisted for Columbia U a couple years ago. See what I did different that was noticeably better. Also something that might help, I am almost done with my Master of Education in Special Education. That might be a way to standout and I have noticed a lack of media for that demographic.
