Hey again ! I've just been accepted to AFI fin Producing ! I now need to choose between UCLA (producing as well) and AFI... Tough choice but I feel gifted to actually have to choose between those two. Do you guys have an opinion ?

update~

Hi everyone, here is my update...apply for the 2014 Fall production/directing MFA program
USC: waitlist, interviewed at Feb 15th
UCLA: rejected at March 7th
UTA: rejected at Feb 7th
BU: rejected at March 12th
SCAD: interviewed at Nov 1st
FSU: rejected at March 13th

I'm an international students. And I did another interview in Beijing for USC last week, which is specific for Chinese students. I think there's nothing to do with the admission decision.

Cross my fingers for everyone.

congrats on your acceptance!! each school is really really different so it is gonna depend on what you want to do. if you want a more welrounded education that will help you learn alll aspects of production... go to USC. if you know you wanna be a director and thats it... go to AFI. i don;t know alot about cal arts but from what i saw it seemed they have a slightly less stuctured program... but i don;t know. AFI and USC are very very different programs.... so it should make that decision a little easier.

Ok, cool! That's great that you got a bit of money though. Good luck deciding!

Hey There!

Has anyone heard from FSU's production program? I looked at the threads from last year, and it seems that people were notified in early April about being accepted (but interviews lasted until late March that year). Any word would be helpful. Thanks!!!!

 

[danielplainview]

finally heard back from all my screenwriting MFA applications:​

​

Texas - rejected​

FSU - accepted​

UCLA - accepted​

NYU - accepted this morning!​

​

I always thought it was a shot in the dark to get into ANY of them and now I actually have to make a big decision. Help would be appreciated :S​

What did you get accepted at AFI for? If it's cinematography, they have a brilliant program and your being taught by the president of the ASC! You can't beat that, but they are very specific in DP's learning specific discipline classes for that craft. USC is an overall film school education. I would say go to AFI but I just love AFI so I'm probably a bit bias.

Just got accepted to Carnegie Mellon University's MEIM Program (Masters of Entertainment Management) w/ great Merit Scholarship!!!! I'm just waiting to hear back from Chapman!

 

[kinkypigtails]

I've applied to film directing sans CalArts (film/video program). As we stand:

NYU - Accepted
CalArts - Accepted
UCLA - Rejected
Columbia - N/A (safe to assume a rejection at this point)

First time posting after reading these forums on an almost daily basis:

CalArts FDP: Accepted

I think my brain might explode before Columbia has a chance to make their announcements. Anyone else here accepted to the FDP program at CalArts?
