UT Austin MFA 2019

I got an email that I’m on the waitlist on Thursday. It looks like the last acceptances went out Thursday as well so I’m hoping that means I’m not far down the list. So congratulations everyone who got accepted but I hope you don’t go so I can! ?

Guessing this means I’m all but out and just waiting for the official word (unless something miraculous happens). Congrats to everyone who did get in, go kill it!
 
Just Curious, and want some opinions but what reasons do you think that this program is the "Megatron" of film schools? Im looking into film schools and would love to hear your position.
What does this school have to offer that others don't?
I believe that at the end of the day you go to film school ( if you go) to help you figure out what kind of artist you want to be in that craft and what your art specifically will look like. UT offers resources that most filmmakers would love to have in a complete package (attending school or not)
 
Wow congrats! Though I haven't sent in my acceptance to them yet, I'm not sure your fate depends on me. :( I'm pretty sure I remember him saying there are two screenwriters.

Congrats to you!! I believe what is supposed to happen does. Our fate always depends on ourselves. And who knows, maybe we will be chillin. I'm making a wish list of cowboy boots as a way to prepare!

I'm down. How many will we offend, showing up as two east coasters in full cowboy gear. ?
