UCLA MFA Directing/Production Fall 2022

[Browncapital]

I have applied for MFA in Directing for fall 2022. I wanted to know the following. Does anyone know ? I had emailed to filmgrad@tft.ucla.edu but have not heard back from them since a long time.

1. Which date will the results be out ?
2. Will there be an interview, if yes when ?
3. If one gets selected, when does one have to pay the fees and what is the amount ?

Thank you

When did you email them?

I guess this is the only school I’m counting on now

I guess maybe they have not started to send out most of the interview notifications yet.

When do you think they will?

IDK. Maybe we could send them an email and ask them about the general timeline of the application process.

I don't know what you guys think but the constant delays in UCLA's application process and confusing prompts really stood out as red flags to me, which reflects on how the TFT film school is being run currently. I know they are shaking things up but based on what I've experienced during application I'm not sure if this is the experience I would enjoy anymore even if I get into UCLA.

UCLA was actually my top school. I was devastated when I did the wrong format, but they let me correct it. The curriculum.

Its interesting that this is the only school I haven’t heard from yet. I’m really ecstatic but anxious at the same time.

I don’t think there has been constant delays. Some schools take longer than others to send out interviews, like NYU and Columbia did just this past week. I don’t think the prompts were confusing, I made a mistake on mine because I didn’t read the requirements correctly. Plus UCLA shut down their program last year, I assume this is because they 1 didn’t want to put kids through zoom film school and 2 knew that conducting applications in a time where the future was still unsure wasn’t smart. I respect your view point, but I would wait and see what happens at the end of application season to say whether or not there are significant red flags. (I don’t wanna diminish your opinions but I also don’t want you to think you got a shitty deal if you get in)

Hey! UCLA just contacted me about my film treatment not being double spaced. They asked me to submit the correct version by Jan 17th.

So I’m still being considered!

Damn I just realized my treatment wasn’t double spaced but I never got an email about it. I even checked the spam.

Oh really? It does seem like they only reach out of some people about that. I’m wondering why. But I had to submit by Jan 17th. (Which I did).
