*EDIT: Now I'm wondering if you meant multiple disciplines within the same school, like applying for both Producing (Stark) and Screenwriting at USC. I think people do do it and I assume the student chooses, but I'm not sure! I only applied to Screenwriting programs but in 4 different schools*Did any of you guys apply to multiple MFA programs? I was wondering if it's even possible to be accepted into more than one and if so, would you have to choose or would they decide for you?
Yes I totally should have clarified!

Yes, I applied to 4 programs.
Based on previous threads, people do get into multiple programs and it is up to the student to choose.
You'll find threads on here from people seeking advice about which school to attend. And here's an article about one lucky guy who got into AFI and USC, for instance:
After Three Years of Rejection, I Got Into The Two Best Film Schools in The World. Here Are The Five Things I Learned...
It took multiple years, multiple applications, and over 1100 days for me to finally get into film school. Here are my biggest takeaways of the experience.www.filmschool.org
Well... Using FilmSchool to distract from work, and then using work to distract from film school... Soooooo....Hi! How's everyone hanging in there?
Anxious. I honestly don't know anymore how many times I've been checking my email (and this forum) in the past few days. hahahahaHi! How's everyone hanging in there?
I've kind of put it in my head that I won't hear anything until March and I'm determined to live in blissful ignorance until thenHi! How's everyone hanging in there?
You know that feeling when you're watching a Zack Snyder Director's Cut and it's 4 HOURS long and you're waiting for it to end but the story keeps on going? Well, that's how I feel.Hi! How's everyone hanging in there?
exactly! If I don't know anything, then technically it's not a no yetIt almost feels worse now that we've turned the corner on February... it's so close but not quite there... A part of me wants to put off hearing anything in case I don't get in, so I can savor this time where I'm still optimistic
Speaking of having to move, I wonder if classes will be purely remote so people who don't live in LA would have more time to figure out their new living situation? I'm also an international student so *high five*! And I'm also trying really hard not to read my application materials because I feel like I'll cringe at myself hahahSame here, finding it really tricky waiting to find out! I read back through my application materials and they all started to seem terrible! It probably wasn't a good idea to do that haha. It's definitely most likely that I won't get in, but I'm an optimistic person so still have a tiny shred of hope...Although there's also the difficulty of needing a massive scholarship to attend, so even if I got an offer it's not certain that I could go.
It's especially stressful being an international student, because if it ends up being a yes (which would be AMAZING of course!) I'll only have 4 months to prepare for moving halfway across the world...sorting my visa, accommodation, covid vaccine (?!) etc...but I'm trying not to worry about those things yet because it's likely to be a no anyway. My mind just keeps going in circles of stress and doubt and excitement. But wish we could all just find out now!

International here too and definitely the preparation is stressing me out! Not doing anything yet but definitely searching about visa procedures. I’ll probably get a vaccine in June (I’m hoping). In Brazil, they already finished with the first group (doctors and health workers) and just started with +80 years old.Same here, finding it really tricky waiting to find out!
