If you're applying to AFI, be sure to add your application to our database so that we may improve our data.

If your application is rejected, you may reapply the next application cycle. Application materials are held for one academic year; they are not returned. You may also refurbish your application to reflect how you have evolved as a filmmaker.

If you decline your admissions offer, the Admissions Department recommends making only minor adjustments to your application. Focus on updating your narrative statement while dedicating only a few sentences to one paragraph about why you declined to attend the previous academic year.
