UT Austin - MFA in Screenwriting Program Applicants 2021

Longtime lurker. I just got a call saying I've been accepted!!!

I was in too much shock to ask if they've started notifying anyone else, and MyStatus hasn't been officially updated yet. So keep the faith and keep your eyes peeled for any calls from a Burbank area code! My fingers are crossed for y'all!!!
Congratulations!! 🎊 🤘

Congrats!!! So you're 1/7, correct? That means only 6 more spots left. Also, I guess they don't do interviews? Interesting that it's a call from Burbank. Fingers crossed for the rest of us.
