Columbia Film MFA, Fall 2020 Application

[Anna]

Oh I see what you're saying. This email was from the Dean of Admissions, not Eric. That was why I was confused, it didn't match up with your experience.

You had the official offer letter without a confirming call then. I guess cuz it’s an unusual time with the virus thing, they wanna check upon the candidate before rendering an offer. Either way means you’re in. Congratulations!

That’s exactly what I got as well. Did any other admitted students get that email? It had a link to a Facebook page that didn’t work for me.

I am so stressed by this prolonged wait, especially with the whole coronavirus situdation going on. I literally can't focus on my work at the moment -- rejected or not, just give me the result

I’ve been feeling the same all week I hope you get some correspondence from Columbia very soon!

This year's notifications feel a bit all over the place and it's certainly not helping with my stress level. Would love to just KNOW one way or another

I received the exact same email! It was from Julie Dobrow of Columbia SOA. I never received a call or an official acceptance email so it appeared strange to me. However, since three of us here have already got the same thing, I'm assuming it is not a mistake. Perhaps it's just a little hectic over there b/c of the coronavirus and they still haven't had the time to call?

Right?! It's really weighing on my mind. Last night I dreamed I got in and was so confused/disappointed when I woke up haha

Got that as well. I would say it means you're in but Eric hasn't had the chance to call yet. Congrats!

Do we think that if you didn't get an email from the Dean yesterday it's probably not an acceptance?

Have you checked your application portal? I got an email at 12:30pm that said my application decision was available to view online. Mine says I was accepted!

No, still nothing. Looking like it's a no or a waitlist for me again this year. Congratulations on your acceptance!

Sorry to hear that I hope it's a waitlist instead of rejection. Best of luck!!

I received the email yesterday around 4:30 central time, my application portal updated today around 12:30.

I wouldn’t assume that just yet. Like I said previously when I had my interview on Mar 18th, I was told two weeks before I hear back, which won’t be for another few days. When I scheduled my interview there were several available slots that day and the 16th. Who here interviewed that week?

I won’t start to panic until Thursday morning. I hope that helps.

Any communication for people who still don't have an answer?

 

[soysaucechicken]

I interviewed on the 16th and it was disaster. Not a good interviewee to begin with but also had connectivity issues for 10m - was not an ideal start. Congrats to the accepted. Good luck to the waiting. Best of health to everyone...
