NFTS Directing Fiction MFA 2027

[Chris W]

I did apply on 23 January 2026 and my application was processed and sent to the selection panel on 9th march 2026. The status is till the same. Hoping to get an outcome in the coming week.

Still waiting to hear back as well.

According to the stats we should be receiving interview notifications soon.

As we await results for fun I created a Film School Tournament so everyone can vote for their favorite film schools. Be sure to vote in each poll linked below.

Let's do something fun this summer! We're doing a Double Elimination Film School bracket. 16 "matches" will go the first round. Winners will be decided by the polling and there is a week to get the results in for the first round. The first round "matches" were chosen randomly.

Links to each individual match to vote in the polls are below. Be sure to vote in each one. Have fun!

1. Film School Madness 2026 - Round 1 - American Film Institute (AFI) vs Columbia College Chicago
2. Film School Madness 2026 - Round 1 - Stanford University vs Florida State University...

haven’t heard anything either. I understand the earliest invitation date was a 20th of June, but the latest one wasn’t until way later (late July if i remember correctly). So i think it’s still in schedule. I hope we hear back soon! good luck to all

While you're waiting for results be sure to vote in the film school tournament. Something fun to do while we wait.

Today is the last day to vote in the polls!
