None here either! Seeing the same thing as ConODon and getting the same permissions error.

My screen shows that all the friday slots are still available, yet we had someone log a friday interview in this forum? I think the whole thing is messed up, and nobody has their times yet

You're right, but I think that person also posted the screen shot of an error message saying that slot was no longer available and had exceeded capacity or something. So even that one didn't stick.

Just got through and made my appointment, then immediately got a confirmation email. Try again, guys, it looks like they've resolved the issue.

 

[Maurizio L.]

Also just got in and got confirmation for friday! Really wanted a Tuesday slot but oh well.. good luck to y’all!

 

[Maurizio L.]

Also, does anyone know if these times are in PST?

They are.

It still shows slots open on Tuesday (and now only one open on Friday at 6:40). Were the Tuesday ones blocked out when you tried?

Yeah, weird. The time slots for Tuesday are there but all greyed out.. Friday slots are "gone" except for that one at 6:40...

Think they definitely had issues and maybe no one was able to register for the Tuesday ones? Assuming they get removed once filled and not just greyed out.. but in any case maybe more time to prepare is a good thing haha

 

[Jakefilmnerd]

This is insane.

 

[ConODon]

Yes, sounds like they had more than one glitch to fix but it seems like they're working on it. Might be worth checking back later in the day to reschedule via the edit/cancel/reschedule link - perhaps those Tuesday slots will magically reappear.

Friday worked out better for my work schedule, but yeah that's also more days to prep. I'm going into it the way I would any other general or pitch meeting, where basically it's some questions about who you are, what films/shows you're drawn to, and then into a discussion about your work. I actually love pitching, so I guess I'm more excited than nervous for the interview.

 

[Jakefilmnerd]

I rescheduled, had to work Friday. That was scary. Hopefully this one sticks.

Good luck! Tell us how it goes!

New member here, just started following this forum. I’ve read a ton from previous years and this year and you guys have been so helpful and inspiring. I’m only applying to UCLA and I got invited to the interview. I’ve selected in person. Will appreciate correspondence with anyone who has interviewed via Skype. Also is there anyway to know who will interview you before hand?

Guess it’s Tuesday again, anyone else have any luck?

 

[Shade]

Interviews are taking place today so it's likely more emails will come out either today or tomorrow. Unsure. It seems clear though that only a handful of people (23) got their interview requests last week.

 

[princessjasmine]

‘Tis true. I’ve sort of thrown in the metaphorical towel at this point, cause I feel like it’s easier than being disappointed. Although I do hope other people get interviews tbh, lemme know if you hear back!!

New member here! I read this lurking all weekend freaking out about the malfunctioning interview schedule thing. Did anyone else have their interview today? It’s good the stress is over but now the waiting game starts
