NYU MFA – Film and Television – Fall 2026

[nimbu.dv]

Do you think most people would be interviewing in person? I have a trip planned out of country at the end of February but I’m waiting to confirm it based on interviews. I’m just wondering if I should go ahead and if I get a slot during that time join via zoom. I’m just unsure if that’s a major disadvantage.

Got an interview request. I live in Chicago, so I'm debating whether to do a in-person or virtual interview. Any opinions on that, or stats?

I'm a little closer in DC and I'm for sure going in person. I think they'll get a better feel for me in person vs. over zoom. Good luck and congrats!

I feel like in-person would definitely be less awkward! But if you are like me and feel more comfortable and less nervous being at home, maybe virtual would suit you better. Would you mind me asking what time you got the email at? I'm wondering if they just send it in batches or they actually send it out one by one );

anyone know if they usually send out requests all at once. Don’t want to get my hopes up

I think, they send out on a rolling basis throughout Feb, sometimes in March too.

Last year, it looked like most people received invites on the first Wednesday of February.

Scheduled for Feb, 18th.

Would anyone be willing to trade with me?

Is that a thing they do? Neat if so. Sorry to hear about the conflict.

Guys, do you think there will be one more invitation going out soon? I was looking at older threads, and it seems like NYU sent out one or two rounds of invitations in early Feb in past years. Usually, the posts blow up when invitations go out, but it’s been quite quiet this time. Any thoughts?

There will definitely be more invites sent out. I think all schools send invites out in waves and last year it went until the end of February.

Thought there would be more sent out by now but I guess not
