Does anybody have an example (preferably who got accepted) of what you put in your writing examples portfolio for the application? Thanks

Had my interview today, it was fun! I chatted and was asked some really good, thought provoking questions. (if you want to prep just think about what you're doing, why you're doing it and what you're trying to say)
I also met another one of you, probably sftola? I totally didn't think to ask your forum name. Anyway he was really cool and interviewed with John who is totally awesome (IMHO), so I hope it went well and good luck!

I'm going back through this thread to prepare for my interview, and this is so helpful. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Jeremy! I'm not sure who's doing the interview yet. I gave them my three dates with three potential times, and I haven't heard back yet on a definite time and interviewer.

Howdy, all.

So I also applied last Fall for the Screenwriting MFA at UCLA (I also applied to USC).

While I got into the latter, I'm still waiting to hear back from UCLA.

I haven't received any messages by phone or email about an interview yet -- but I'm assuming I'll hear something shortly given everyone else is.

 

[Mr. Fedora]

Got an email from UCLA early this morning.

And the Oscar...doesn't go to me.

Not surprised. I was expecting this given the lack of any interviews.

So, adieu to UCLA -- and onwards to USC.

Hey Jeremy, Kris Young is doing the interview. Do you know him (or her)?

I interviewed with Kris, he's very very very nice. I have never had him as a teacher, but have heard from others that he is magnificent as well. My interview with him was very conversational and pretty relaxed. Have fun!

Good luck at USC!! I hear their program is okay...
I know a writer there and she is doing great in the program. Have fun!

Awesome. Thanks, Jeremy! You're putting me at ease tonight.

Awesome. Thanks, Jeremy! You're putting me at ease tonight.

Good! The profs here are universally awesome people with really big hearts. Just remember they are writers who love writing and teaching like all of us and they have been in your chair before! (Probably literally as most of them went to UCLA for their MFAs)
