I just graduated from NYFA's MFA Producing program. I attended the Los Angeles campus. Here's my advice for anyone considering this school (more specifically the Los Angeles campus)

This school puts the producing, filmmaking, and screenwriting students on a pedestal. The school does so much for us, but not so much for the students in the acting programs. My roommate (who graduated from the MFA Acting program) constantly complained about their lack of regard for him and his former cohort members. During my time there, I never had an instructor who didn't know what they were doing. With most of the instructors being former USC, AFI, or NYU students (and now seasoned industry professionals), they are pretty knowledgeable about the craft. Barbara Weintraub, who is the industry outreach director, does a hell of a job with helping students secure internships and even jobs post-graduation. Yes, this is a for-profit institution, but it's really what you make of it. Personally, I believe that since the school doesn't really reject anyone, you have a lot of people attending, thinking that they're going to become wealthy movie stars overnight, but aren't really willing to put in the work. When they realize how hard it actually is, they drop out and claim it's a scam. Believe me, I had my reservations about the school prior to attending, but I'm extremely happy I did.

Again, this is ONLY for the Producing, Filmmaking, and Screenwriting Departments in LOS ANGELES. For acting, do NOT waste your time.

I can't speak on the NYC campus because I know nothing about it.
