Columbia University MFA 2015 (Official Thread)

Hey! Ira literally just called me and told me I'm on the waitlist. I'm sure you'll be hearing something soon!
COngratulations @bozich10! There is hope! Looks like they are notifying Creative Producing applicants today. Not Scr/Directing yet. OMG @Johnny Cee you are quite the researcher. Ha ha! I think we are all officially going crazy! lol. Good luck all! We have done our part.. now que sera sera!
 
Yes. Me too. Good luck everyone.
 
Am I the only one who keeps checking this page hoping that new notifications = people finding out? Haha

It feels like this year things are happening a little slower than the previous years. Hopefully someone will post with good news soon!

Does anyone know when is the deposit for the NYU directing program due? I would assume that Columbia would want to send out initial decisions before that.

It is going slower, if by only a little. Last year the first acceptance calls went out on the 26th of March and waitlist emails went out on the 28th. Rejections went out on 4/3 looks like. It's almost close of business on the east coast, so we may be waiting until Monday.

Don't want to add to the anxiety here, but I have read that calls have been made over the weekend in the past (from researching older threads) and that some folks received calls on a Sunday from Eric and Ira (for Creative Producing) back in 2011. Yes, I've dug that far...and yes, I wish I could stop...and yes...I wish we would all find out soon.

The deposit for NYU has to be in the 23rd of April. So I hope to hear from Columbia before that...
