Application process was smooth! I enjoyed it and the prompts and things they ask for were more flexible than some of the other programs, and because of that I felt like I was able to submit my best work. What stood out was the video introduction portion of the application I was a bit nervous to...

The application process was fairly straightforward. Most of my time was spent reviewing my projects and deciding which materials would be the best fit for the school. I also dedicated a significant amount of time to developing and refining my statement of purpose.

I really liked this application -- the short scene options were unique and I loved the video pitch (which I was initially most nervous about!). I appreciated the space for creativity. I also really appreciated their rolling admissions timeline and the efficiency of the process.

Definitely the application I put the most work into. Don't put it off until the last minute. I received an interview request in mid-February and received a decision on March 12. If you have any questions feel free to DM me!
