[Gold]

Hello guys,

If I haven't heard anything back from NYU at this point it means I'm out?
I applied to MFA Directing and I am an international Student.

Hey all,
I heard from the school that the notification process will be:
March 1st through April 15th.
From people here that recieves their interview status already- it seems they are all international right?
If that’s the case, maybe we still have a shot!

I am an international student and I have literally heard nothing from NYU after applying?! @Gold @zoey Should I consider myself done with? Or atleast can I contact someone? They don't respond to mails really!

 

[Shuyao Chen]

Just finished Skyping with NYU. They are really nice! For all of you who are going to interview, GOOD LUCK!!!

Hello Shuyao,

Congrats on your interview- I have mine next week in person! If you don't mind me asking- what kind of questions did they ask in the interview? Were they all just general questions, or were some a bit difficult?

Thanks again!

I have the same question. I am an international student. I haven't heard anything from NYU.

Thanks again!

My interview questions were pretty regular.
They asked me why do I want to go to film school now and why NYU. What films I like and which director I admire. What are the weaknesses of my film. What would I bring to the program, etc.
90% of the questions were very regular and the rest are about your personal experience.
The general atmosphere is very relaxing. Have fun!

Hey I just had my interview and my interviewer told me this as well.

actually are you a Tisch Film Prod candidate or a Tisch Dramatic Writing applicant? - they have two very separate admissions tracks and processes

I applied for dramatic writing but he told me that about the production program in terms of notifying applicants (he said it as a side note in our conversation)

Yes & my source was a reliable one as well.
Does anyone know if you can get accepted without going through the interview process?

unless there's been a drastic departure from past policies, alas the answer is definitely no

I just had my interview and totally forgot to ask when I would hear back. But I do have to say it was a pretty incredible experience, and was such a thrill. They sincerely know your application and want to get to know you better. We dove deep into what influences me, where I find inspriation, and what I want to achieve through filmmaking. They did ask me to tell a story, which I wasn't totally prepared for but I think I pulled it off. It was a really fufilling experience and lasted the full 30 minutes.

Hey! Congrats for this interview What was exactly the question for the story part? Did you have to tell a story from your childhood or something like that or you had to invent one? Thank you !
