UCLA Production/Directing Narrative- 2025

[bbk]

Was the deadline for scheduling for your invitation specifically, or does it read the deadline for all interview candidates was 2/27?

I think it varies per individual.

I had an interview today, and they were really friendly. I don’t know if this is typical or not, but before the interview, I got an email with a task. I had to prepare a plot for a short film and present it to them in two minutes. Besides that, they asked me about my favorite directors, my journalistic work, and they asked me twice why I chose UCLA.

Hey friends! I had my interview last week and they sent the interview request to me last minute. It went really well and they were super friendly. They told me that I should expect to hear the admission decision sometime this week. Did anyone else get the same feedback?

Hey! They told me it would be several weeks from now haha. For the Production/Directing Narrative MFA? It did go really well, and they were very friendly.

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.
