Ubah1:
This school is an unranked university in the U.S, I will advise you look for better school.

Thanks Ubah.

However,further enquiries have shown that the school's MFA in film is highly rated;it has produced renowned producers, directors, script writers etc within the last few years in the US (Hollywood).

I will check other schools as well.

Ubah1:
Well, If am you, I will avoid schools under ACICS as their accreditation were revoked in 2016 and later reinstated temporarily in April 2018. Students going to the embassy with those schools might get visa refusal as ACICS recognition isn't in full force yet.

Here is a link to know schools under ACICS :

Some of the popular ones used by Nigerians are:

1. iGlobal University
2. Virginia International University
3. California Miramar University
4. Northwestern Polytechnic University
5. Bryan University
6. Lincoln University, CA
7. Colorado Heights University
8. Stratford University
9. Pacific Institute of Technology
10. University of North America
11. Texas Health and Science University

Here is the announcement of Department of Education on this issue.

My advise is for students is to avoid schools under ACICS until it's fully recognised by the U.S Department of Education

Thanks for this information.
However,I tried checking out for this school (Academy of the art university,San Fransico),but the search came back blank.

Good morning,"please" I have a couple of questions to ask you guys.

*Are there specific universities in the US that are seen as "Red-Flag" to the consulars during interview?

Is their anybody here applying for MFA FILM at Academy of the arts University(San Francisco )? ?

I intend applying for MFA FILM at Academy of the arts university(San Francisco ). While going through this forum,someone made mention of one California marimar University as "a no go area" for prospective applicants. Hence,this got me wondering and prompted the aforementioned question.

I have carried out an extensive research on this school (Academy of the arts University),nevertheless, I am willing to know more.

Pls,I need help with this.
