FSU College of Motion Picture Arts Undergrad Fall 2020 application

Hi. My DS is working on his film supplemental materials. For anyone who has attened or is attending/familiar with the program, do you have any advice regarding the Personal Statement or other aspects in terms of what they are looking for?

Thank you. We know this is an extremely compettive program, so any advide would be appreciate.

I realize that this is too late for this year, but for future applicants, FSU had a Webinar for College of Motion Picture Arts students that was extremely informative. They described their program in great detail and answered any and all questions. For advice regarding the personal statement and creative supplements they said entire application should be about you and why you want to be a filmmaker. They said to tell your journey as a filmmaker, not why you love movies. My DS just got an email today, inviting him to schedule an interview- very exciting!

Interesting–yes, invites are out! Good luck to everyone interviewing!

Wow-- wish we knew about the Webinar. I can imagine that it would’ve been helpful. Glad your son was able to benefit from it. We didn’t see anything regarding a webinar on the FSU website and we looked all over for any info/advice…

And major congrats to your son for gettting an interview! Hoping we get some good news. Interesting the the interview invites are coming out before the official FSU general acceptance.

The calls for interviews have already been made? My daughter’s been waiting but was told she’d get a call on the 30th, if interested.

@kgolby Some calls and emails about interview invites have gone out but they may not be done. They could def. send out more today–fingers crossed for your daughter.

Thanks, but I called and found out she did not get an interview. She’s going to be crushed but hopefully she’ll get good news about getting into FSU. She’ll just have to try again her sophomore year.

@kgolby --I’m so sorry. We know lots of people who applied twice to FSU film and were admitted. Tell her not to lose hope.

Has anyone else got an email/call about an interview yet?

My DS just got the official FSU general acceptance today, but hasn’t heard anything from the film major.
Wondering if all the interview invites are out yet? I guess he will call the school tomrrrow for answers as well.

Just called College of Motion picture Arts and was told notifications would be out by next week. So maybe there will be some more invites… hopefully.

I sure hope so!

Got a call today and was told I got in!! I’m so excited :slight_smile:
