    Congratulations, and thanks for the well wishes! I know I expressed some skepticism/reluctance, but it will be hard to say no if I get that call. Did they give you a decision timeline? How long do you have to accept?

    I'm waiting on Directing. It's not very fun. I assumed the deadline was Monday, and waitlist calls would be trickling in over the week. That may be the case but I haven't heard anything here and my phone's not ringing. Maybe this week? If I don't hear back this month, I'll probably move on...

    Just for fun, can anyone who turned down an acceptance give a shout in this thread? Looking for some hope for the waitlist. Thanks!

    UCLA or Columbia - which one to pick for Directing?

    Equally important: Pizza or tacos?

    UCLA or Columbia - which one to pick for Directing?

    Yeah, I'm from Northern California, yet always thought of myself as a bit East Coast in nature. Only on my most recent visit to NYC (for the interview) did I realize how California I actually am... just not Southern California, haha. We Bay Area people like to think there's a ton of difference...

    UCLA or Columbia - which one to pick for Directing?

    Thanks for the shout out. I wished so hard for the chance to choose between UCLA and Columbia, but I can't begrudge people who are in that position instead of me. It's a big decision to make without a lot of information, so I appreciate ColumbiaNYC's more first-hand input as well. We're lucky to...

    UCLA or Columbia - which one to pick for Directing?

    Well, don't get me wrong. I would absolutely love to go to Columbia... I think both schools have distinct advantages. When I said that the current students recommended I go to UCLA, they were talking about me, not them. Nobody I talked to about Columbia (except for one of my interviewers!) had...

    UCLA or Columbia - which one to pick for Directing?

    Well, I'm on the Columbia waitlist, so I have a vested interest in you picking UCLA... BUT.. UCLA and Columbia are the only two schools I applied to, and had I gotten into both, I would have chosen UCLA. I toured the department with a friend when I was down there, talked to people (students, 1...

    Ok, waitlisters! This is our chance to tip the scale. Let's get some pro-AFI testimonials in here. You know how expensive it is to live in New York? I have no clue lol We didn't really talk about that. I'm really torn between Columbia and AFI so we talked about that the entire time...

    Sorry to hear that... I got an 'RJ' from UCLA a few days ago. Feels bad man. Even getting to the interview stage means you're in the ballpark though. At least that's what I'm telling myself. There's always next year.

    I just checked and I'm in the same boat. Interviewed, didn't get an e-mail today, receipt says "Decision Round: WL". Interesting.

    UCLA Directing 2013-2014

    Nope. I didn't even hear of anyone having interviews after March 10th... anybody still have an interview ahead of them?

    Hi everyone, Just popping in to let you all know that I got the same invitation and interview date as Dusty-Rose. Just to give a bit more info, I think different faculty are doing interviews on different weekends, and therefore the invitations may be staggered as well. If you haven't heard...
