Congrats on the interview! When's it scheduled for? Be sure to add the date in the date fields. :)

Yeah, I’m hoping my application materials speak for themselves and outweigh how the interview felt on my end. I’ve been trying to make peace with whatever happens, and as I’ve been letting go of Chapman University a bit, I’ve actually started getting more excited about DePaul. I’m trusting that everything will work out the way it’s supposed to.

CONGRATS! See it didn't matter that you "bombed" your interview. :)

Not sure if you got in, but they definitely were looking at your samples more than anything. I had a miserable gpa and an ok/decent interview yet got in because they were impressed with my work I've done and plan on continuing. Content is king. But DePaul is awesome! I especially love the fact they have a comedic screenwriting program. That was the only school who had a program that made me indifferent towards every other aspect. If I had not gotten lucky with chapman, depaul wouldve been near top of my personal list. Good luck wherever you werer accepted.
