Oh wow, this is nerve-wracking.

Good luck

Be interested to know when you received an accept email and was that a call from Eric literally this morning/afternoon your time?

Looks like he's calling you this morning so it's not too late for you in the UK. Perhaps he will stagger other calls, catch US folks in the afternoon later today or in the days ahead who are accepted too.

Did you update this new info on the film school.org 2018 grad spreadsheet? Great to have that info for all of us now and for future applicants who visit the site. Congrats!

Hi there. I haven't received any acceptance email nor has my application status updated. I got the call at 130pm UK time, so 930 AM NY time. I just added my info to the spreadsheet, didn't know it existed I hope you all get a call soon, fingers crossed for everyone!!!

Congrats!! I really wonder whether your interview notification still appears on your application portal or not. Mine's still there, so I am really nervous.

Yes it was Eric and another man, unfortunately his name is slipping my mind, but he is the professor for tv writing.

I wouldn't read too much into it, especially with technology. Fingers crossed

Thanks much and that spreadsheet is useful huh! Interesting that the person who interviewed you is contacting you. Maybe that's the case for everyone.

Christina and Andrew interviewed me. I had one of the last few interviews, early last week. You're probably right that the portal updates are not dependable given tech but did your interview invitation disappear before -- ?

Mine and a couple others did a day or so ago. Maybe it's something, maybe not. Last year it meant I eventually got a waitlist letter which I was happy to get. This year, here's hoping most of us join you as accepted applicants.

Rejections will be sent out now as well or what?

Yeah, I believe that your interviewer will be calling you. I actually didn't get my application for a couple weeks, so I can't be sure as to when it disappeared, but when I logged on after the call, it was not there. From looking back at the forums from previous years it does appear that the calls start going out on the weekend but do continue through the week, so try as best as possible to not read into things if you don't get a call today or tomorrow.
