I was wondering if anyone could give me recommendation on what schools to apply to in this coming stream. In the last, I applied to columbia MFA Screen writing/directing (which was my preferred because the path I want to take in my career is writing-directing), USC directing, NYU tish, MFA directing, (I got rejected from all without an interview) I got waitlisted for Chapman Dodge's directing program and accepted into LFS MA filmmaking program (I can't go here because of lack of funds, and non-availablity of any scholarship.)

I was wondering if you'd advice me to try Columbia and maybe NYU or dodge

And I'm considering two entirely new schools, but as a writer/director, I'm very confused as to where to put as my options. Which schools have a great programs for this, but also really good acceptance rate.
