NYU MFA Film Fall 2025

[squashluvr]

Haven't had a chance to say this until now, but I received a call from Julia around noon on Saturday that I'm in! If I remember correctly she said I'd be getting an email sometime before Thursday with a formal acceptance. Fingers crossed for anyone who hasn't gotten a call yet and congrats to those of you who have heard!

Has anyone else not heard a thing since applying?

Hey everyone, congrats to those who have heard! I fortunately also got the call from Julia last week Saturday, but I haven't received my formal acceptance letter yet. Anyone else still waiting for the email?

I got an email last Friday: I got admitted. Still processing it... NYU is my #1 option.
I'm surprised I didn't get a call like others but maybe it is because I'm international.

Just got my rejection letter from NYU.

Let me know if you're successful in receiving the feedback

 

[Justanotherfilmfan]

Let me know if you're successful in receiving the feedback

He gave an impersonal and vague d*ckish response, said they don’t give feedback and you can reapply next year if still interested

Did you have filmmaking background so far? I mean, i can guess my rejection was because i don't have any film experience
