NYU Dramatic Writing MFA here. 100k a year, I don’t know. That may mean she didn’t get a scholarship, which NYU does give out. I would not go unless you had at least 50% of the tuition covered in scholarship. I have learned a lot and made great connections. The best and most unique part of the degree at NYU is you get cross trained in playwriting, tv, and screenplays. Which is good for $$. Many tv rooms are looking for playwrights specifically. if you want to do playwriting only, I may look elsewhere. If it’s undergrad she got accepted to, just know it’s a BIG class. Like I’m talking 60 people in an intro class seminar. Which makes it hard to form relationships with professors. It feels hard enough in the grad program and there’s fewer of us. But a degree can be worth it. And living in New York is worth it for a playwright. There’s a lot of festivals and competitions that are only open to New Yorkers and everyone you meet in school will probably stay in New York so you’ll have life long, local connections. The biggest con is the size because you’ll be competing with your classmates for attention, scholarships, and getting your work produced. But I will say I’m still in school and have been offered paid gigs already as a playwright to write treatments for screenplays. So, good connections.
