UCLA - MFA, Fall 2014

[Mate Boegi]

Hey there everybody!

I've just sent in my application and let's face it.... The coming months are going to be pretty nerve-racking.

I have applied to UCLA - MFA - Production/Directing! You?

Let's be nervous together!

Hey Mate,

I'm working like clockwork to get the statement and treatment polished. I wish I had more time. I swear, life's too short and I'm too old.

 

[Mate Boegi]

Great ! You know how old usually the MFA students are? Or get accepted?

 

[kinkypigtails]

Don't hold me to it, but a little canary told me that most applicants accepted are in their mid-20s to early 30s. I think it's safe to surmise they look for people with more life experience and not fresh out of undergrad.

Submitted mine yesterday. Hi!

How many pages of samples did you guys send?

 

[Chessirose]

Submitted my application for Screenwriting on Halloween. I swear it's the scariest thing I do all year.

 

[Gabriel J. Medina]

Hey!

I am super glad to find this forum. I applied to the MFA-Production/Directing- Documentary program. Did anyone do the documentary route as well?

 

[Kukkik]

Hi all!

I'm joining the nervous club! Submitted mine since late September for Directing MFA - Narrative.
Four more months for us to suffer the curiosity XD

Hello all!

I'm glad to find a waiting room for the next few months. I submitted my application for screenwriting. Time to test our patience together.

 

[Mate Boegi]

If somebody gets an interview, post it please! However, there is still a few months to go.

What are you guys most exited about UCLA/the program?

 

[Kukkik]

I'm excited about almost everything it's hard to make out which one's the best The curriculum, meeting new friends, the campus... I took a walk there too the last time I visited LA. It's nice!

I'll definitely post it in here if I happen to get the interview! Best of luck to everybody!

Hey everyone!

I recently applied to UCLA Producer's Program. I hope I get in!!

Best of luck to all of you

Yup also in the "Q" for directing MFA...Waiting is the absolute worst. However a quick rejection would probably shatter an ego...

So 40's is out? That would suck !

What does your www.applyyourself.com show as application status, when you login?

Mine says: "Submitted" with green.

I'm asking because USC applyyourself actually says"

Same here. Just 'Submitted' and the dates. Nothing else...

 

[JFSWLA]

Same except USC says "
YOUR FILE HAS BEEN FORWARDED TO THE ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT FOR REVIEW AND AN ADMISSION DECISION."

I think it's been that way for weeks though.

UCLA hasn't changed since the day I submitted.

 

[JFSWLA]

Oh yeah, MFA Screenwriting here. What up.
