    Admitted 2011 Columbia University Students

    Current Columbia MFA Directing student here, about to enter his 2nd year. Just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS to all who got in! And secondly, be prepared: you're about to trade in the next few years of your life, hundreds of hours of sleep, dinners with your girlfriend or boyfriend or spouse...

    Housing / Moving to New York

    Great tips, Impossible Protagonist. One more tip I'd like to add about noise: check to make sure what businesses your apartment may sit over/be next to. A quaint cafe or quiet restaurant may turn into a noisy bar in the dark of the night. I learned this the hard way.

    Is it just a crap shoot?

    With so many variables involved in something as messy as film school applications, acceptances are definitely hard to predict. Congratulations on your acceptance at USC and I'll be joining you at the admitted students' day. I'm sure the event will help all attendees make their final decision...

    I got in, but I'm going elsewhere…

    Hey Lvn, Usually they require some form of documentation, and an e-mail will usually suffice. If that's not enough I'm sure they'll ask you for a hard copy with a signature. Did you end up accepting the offer for USC Screenwriting instead? Congrats for getting into both programs, by the way...
