From what I’ve heard, it’s something that they tell you more out of courtesy than anything. I’ve read various threads also from previous years with people debating whether they should contact the person again with additional questions but I don’t think anyone has ever done it (at least according to this data).
Are you guys expecting the decisions to come out this weekend already? Isn’t it too early?
Last year the first batch of acceptances came out this weekend in February. Also, according to the timelines given to a few students by professors, it seems they confirmed that mid-February is when decisions start to come out!
Yep, I can see now.
It's weird to me too, that no applicants were "denied after interview" last year. But I don't think all of us who were interviewed would be accepted lol
Not a Pablo again... I'm starting to feel like Pablo never existed and in fact he came to me in a dream. Some Lynchian stuff happening... At least he did not tell me that "Owls are not what they seem" during the interview
Nothing official but you could look at the admitted prefix and do the count.
You mean literally everyone here? I can see 11 applications with “interviewed” status. I mean like how many professors can they really involve for only one program?
According to the website, there are about 150 SCA professors and based on the numbers, I think at least 30% must be involved in the application/interview process. Also! I think more than 11 people have had interviews in the forum, they just haven't updated the application tracker. I think it's closer to 20ish (based on the numbers in the tracker and people who have mentioned interviews in the thread). So far, I think only two applicants had the same interviewer and it was at the very beginning of January.You mean literally everyone here? I can see 11 applications with “interviewed” status.

I just went on the website, looks like there are about 70 SCA faculty in the Film and Television Production division. Not a clue how many of those faculty members are a part of the admission selection team or if faculty from other divisions are a part of the application review as well. I appreciate that there seems to be a large amount of faculty reviewing applications, makes the school seem open to input from the faculty and that many people from different walks of life are reading applications - seems like a holistic review which is important to me.
Interesting! Where did you find the number 70? I went onto this page and selected the division "Division of Film & TV Production," for me the results showed 4 pages with ~30 professors on pages 1 – 3 and 15 professors on page 4! So I was wrong too, it seems it's closer to 100ish.
A little part of me felt the same way with my professor at first as well. I think because they read so many applications, they try to categorize and classify them in some way to remember them. It sounds like your interviewer cared about the kind of stories you want to tell though – I don't know if they would bother with that if they didn't think you had stories worth telling!
