Any noise in the ether?

My goodness this year is so brutal. But then again I only applied to 2 my first year and 1 my 2nd. So it was less unknowns.

Hello from the Producers Program side! We heard back on March 12th & our last round of interviews happened on Feb 20th.

Hope this helps as far as a timeline!

It’s crazy that this program started notifying interview applicants the soonest but is somehow running later than every other program! Hopefully we all hear something relatively soon, good or bad!

I know we were all told around the 15th for decisions... but tbh in my interview they said that would be like on the later side we'd find out, assuming they've made decisions already and its on the admission department to send out stuff. Also I have no patience at this point haha so they're kind of really taking a while

 

[Lola215]

Yeah so far I’ve only heard from the admissions dept. Still waiting to hear directly from my dept. about timelines & what not. so they are a little slow there. Also I got an email saying a decision was made at 2:55a PST.

Anyway, hope this helps. Best of luck!!

Congrats! Thanks for sharing.

I guess we should assume it's over for those of us that haven't heard yet? This was the school I really wanted (in addition to Columbia, though it's not in LA...) So I'd like to be wrong but I don't also don't want to cling onto any false hope.

They’re a production student! So no one for screenwriting has heard anything (that we know of)

Have you heard anything on Columbia yet? Interview wise and whatnot.

Oh my GOD!!! Thank you for correcting me (I even read that earlier in the forum I think, but must have forgotten).

Welp, at least I know what to expect for when the real judgement day comes. Numbness and existential dread.

Yeah, I had my interview already and was going to post about it on the forum, but it was really similar to what was already said.

The last interview date is March 20, and historically it looks like they notify you 3-5 days after, but @Isabehl was told this year notifications are coming out early April.

I'm guessing we'll hear back next week. Like... Tuesday. UCLA seems to like Tuesdays. Also, this will keep me from freaking out all weekend long when I should be preparing for my event on Sunday.

I just got to LA and am doing full tours of both LMU and UCLA today. I'll post my full impressions on the programs sometime soon!

Sounds like a fun day, interested to hear your thoughts on the programs!

Oh, yes! This would be really helpful as these are my two main choices. Thank you! I might do a tour soon as well

Wondering if you or anyone knows about LMU'S internship opportunities/acceptance rates compared to UCLA?

 

[Cd23]

Just writing this bc I’m annoyed none of us have heard anything yet
