The acceptance rates below have been floating around for a few months now.
I don't know if they're accurate, but if they are I find it very surprising that so few people are applying to some of these programs. Only 197 USC Screenwriting applicants? Really? I remember hearing somewhere that the number of applicants was significantly higher.
Does anyone else have access to other stats or conflicting information? Do these numbers seem off to anyone else?
