NYU MFA Film Fall 2025

[midnightcowboy]

Hey! Once again, I congratulate everyone who got accepted. Hope you the best experience in your time there.

Initially, after the interview, I thought I was rejected. But I'm waitlisted. I'm proud of it.

Congrats everyone who got in and try not to be disheartened if you didn't get in. It's very competitive and sometimes takes many tries.

No matter what your acceptance status, please be sure to log or update your applications in our database. It's extremely helpful to future applicants as I'm sure you found it helpful to you.

Application Database

A database of thousands of film school applications to calculate acceptance rates to film programs and the minimum GPAs, minimum SAT and GRE scores, experience of accepted applicants, and much more....

www.filmschool.org

If you did get in, the site has a new feature now where you can create a private thread for admitted applicants in the forum below:

Admitted Applicant Private Group Threads

Create private group threads to meet your fellow future classmates, form a screenwriting group, or anything else. It works similar to GroupMe and only invited members can see the thread or get notified about the thread.

Please feel free to start one for NYU and invite others. Let me know if you have questions on how to do it.

Went I went in for the interview, Julia mentioned that there were over 900 applicants for the upcoming school year.

I got accepted with a big scholarship after a zoom interview -- had no idea so many people applied!

Also, I don't believe there's an NYU private thread for accepted applicants yet if you want to create one:

Would anybody be willing to share how much they're received in scholarship from the program? Ranges are also fine too if you don't want to specify exact amounts.
