I have not heard a single thing. I did not have an interview either.

Same, no interview, no updates on portal, no email :/
Maybe they don't send all rejection at once?

 

[Jinna Dee]

I emailed the filmgrad email address, and this is what I got from them. (I did mention to them that the interviewer said the decision was going to release in mid-march tho...)

"We do not update individual applicants as to the status of their applications, the review process is on going. Just make sure you keep an eye out for emails from us, make sure you check your spam folder.

Thank you for your interest in the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television.

Best,
-TFT Student Services"

This is frustrating because tonight was the deadline to accept or deny at Chapman, at least for me. Thankfully I have already decided on going to Columbia but for others who are still awaiting the UCLA response to decide they might have to decline other schools and risk it or lose a deposit.

Totally feel you. I have the same struggle. But I'll probably still wait for UCLA.

Absolutely! At this point, I just think UCLA is being inconsiderate and irresponsible. Making promises they can't keep and expecting applicants to wait endlessly. I do not have other offers at hand so I guess the wait wouldn't hurt, but that may not be true for others. UCLA has one of the earliest deadlines, imagine what would happen if an applicant submitted his/her work late.

May I ask you which school you decide to go to besides from UCLA?

 

[StarkWayne]

I think I'm lucky enough to have offers from other schools, right now I'm just curious of their results and not anxiously waiting.

UCLA TFT has changed. Faculty reshuffled and more students are left wondering what happened. You can tell a lot about the school from the application process. For me, I really enjoyed the application process from AFI, USC and NYU. Their communications were prompt and I was always given ample information to move forward. Working on their applications was a joy (not saying it was easy). But for UCLA there was so much confusion about the prompts themselves and honestly it seemed the entire department has been ignored. As one of the top schools in the country, UCLA TFT is not living up to its name.

 

[chronicleofjoy]

I think it's ridiculous and appalling that we haven't heard back yet. I'm planning to call or email and let them know that it's unfair to the people who paid and are trying to make the best decision for their careers. It's very inconsiderate.

I am an admitted student in narrative directing. As far as I know, UCLA had communicated with the accepted/waitlisted students.

We had an admitted graduate student tour yesterday, and it certainly looks like all offers were made.

I am not sure why they have not communicated with all the applicants, I agree with you that is rather irresponsible.
But I am not surprised because the department admin definitely seems disorganized. UCLA had a lot of administrative issues internally, and they took a year off to fix the issues, but it looks like a lot of them remain unfixed.

That's incredibly messed up that they would leave us all hanging like that.
