Transcript: Submit one official transcript from each institution you have attended (including extension work). Please note: International transcripts, including all key information, must be translated into English. Personal Statement: You will be asked to submit a personal statement and a brief essay regarding your goals as a graduate student. As you write the essays and select the script to submit in your application, please consider the Pepperdine mission of strengthening lives for purpose, service, and leadership as well as our program conviction that a storyteller can be a cultural leader. Our MFA Program in Writing for Screen and Television is not just about screenwriting in general, but exists to train, nurture, and support writers to make a positive global impact. The scripts need not be G rated. They can have the difficulties, even the horrors of life in them, but there should also be some redemption, transformation, personal growth, something that puts those "bad things" into the context of making a positive impact. Consider, as an example, Toni Morrison's Beloved. The horrors of life are profoundly, graphically present in the novel and film, but we also see Sethe's strength and Paul D's love for this woman who refuses to break in the end. Even scripts with a tragic conclusion can ask us to examine the truth of what it means to be human. We ask that you meditate on these things as you go through the application process. Recommendation Letter: Submit three letters of recommendation. Once you have finalized your application and submitted it, your recommenders will be sent a link through which they may submit an online recommendation. If they prefer to mail a hard copy recommendation, please use the address listed above in "Step 2." Two recommendations should be academic and one should be personal. The personal reference may be from an employer, minister or friend who is not related to you.
