Hey Guys,

I just submitted my Columbia University's application for the new Creative Producing MFA and it feels so good. Anyways, now I must wait and see what happens. Did anyone else on here decide to apply? Who here applied to the Directing/ Screenwriting track?

Wow, there aren't many people on these boards applying to the new Creative Producing MFA. I wonder if Columbia will try and feel all of the spots because it's their first year of the program.

I applied to the MFA program as a screenwriter. One of my rec's is from the professor who headed the screenwriting program there, so I'm hoping that will put me in the running.
Fingers crossed.

Hey, new here,

I applied to the Creative Producing program. I think I might die from waiting to hear from schools though, and it's barely December.

I'm from Mississippi, not exactly film central. I've been making films and writing screenplays since I was about 11 but I've loved movies for as long as I can remember. Most of my early memories are of watching films. My family isn't too big into me trying to be a filmmaker, but I'm finally going at it on my own. I got a BBA in Business Management and a BA in English this past May and I'll have an MBA by June.

I'm really just ready to wake up knowing that I get to learn about and make films. Is that what you were looking for in background or were you looking for something more film-ish?

That was perfect. Thanks for the introduction. You should check out the chatroom. Lately there has been a lot of traffic.

Take care.

They just sent me an e-mail saying they have all my materials except for a recommendation. Scary! But at least I know they received the stuff...

When did you send the original email to admissions? I've sent two emails and haven't revieved a word. Are they going to allow you to send another recommendation letter? Are you nervous?

I didn't send them a letter. They e-mailed me telling me that it was missing.

I'm not too nervous because the missing letter was from a Columbia film professor, so at least they know him!

Sorry about that. I thought you sent the same email that Silverlain and I sent in order to get a tracking number to track the progress of your application.

Has anyone received their Application ID yet? It's been over a week since I requested mine and so far, no word. How long did it take before you heard from them?
