LMU "Writing for the Screen" MFA Fall 2020

Does anyone know if an interview is required to get in? I didn’t get one and was wondering if I still have any sort of chance of being accepted.

I do believe an interview is required, but I'll admit that I'm not 100% sure. Perhaps it's not for waitlists. I don't know exactly. That'd be a great question for their MFA admissions team.
 
man i was really sure we were gonna hear something yesterday but i guess not :( and idk if they’re gonna email or personally call everyone? because they called one year...can someone call their admissions and ask when acceptances are gonna get released?
 
hi peeps so i called again and they said mid march beginning of april so i’m assuming it’s gonna happen this week bc some people got their decisions this week as well (in prior years) it’ll prob happen tomorrow or friday bc it seems to occur on tuesday’s/friday’s so wishing y’all the best of luck (im really desperate to hear back from them 🥺🥺🥺🥺)

I feel the same. I called today as well and got the most vague response. Not sure if The Writing (and Producing) for TV is any different than the Writing for Screen in terms of turnaround times, but I am anticipating something in the next few days.
 
same here! quick q how much was y’all’s scholarship if u don’t mind me asking

There’s something talking about scholarships? My letter was just congrats.

EDIT: Found the section for financial aid. I think because I am still in my last semester of undergrad, I can’t yet see my award. At least that is what my fin/aid page implies.

Just got word! I’m in too (Writing and producing for TV/Showrunner MFA)!!
Congrats everyone! If you want the LMU badge and access to they private LMU forum see this thread here:

 
My acceptance said nothing about financial aid, only scholarships. I'll call them tomorrow to get a date for that.

My letter referenced neither. Did you find this information out after committing to the program? I'm still waiting to hear back from others, so as much as I like LMU, I can't commit anywhere as of yet.

I just got the email earlier this afternoon like everyone else. I haven't committed or anything since I'm still waiting to hear back from a couple other schools, too. On the updated status page, there was an extra letter under the acceptance letter that was specific to the scholarship.

Well, I certainly hope that doesn't mean I'm not getting anything money-wise as that's going to 100% impact the decision of where I end up attending.

Have you already graduated? Just wondering because if I am interpreting my status correctly, my 'normal' financial aid (loans/grants) won't be approved until my degree confers. I am going to have to call tomorrow to make sure. I just also wonder if this is affecting scholarship decisions, too. :)
