Congrats to everyone who got in, look forward to meeting you. Last year when I interviewed, we were sent the student handbook and I'd thought I'd post some excerpts. This is on the first year coursework: Removed If interested I can post other stuff, like the financial section, that kinda thing- Hiram Bingham

I asked if I don't get in this year, was there any advice or things I should alter in my materials. She LOVED the script I used as my writing sample, thought my Statement of Purpose was great and was impressed by my letters of recommendation and wouldn't change a thing, BUT... I'm in the "L.A...- Hiram Bingham

She asked a lot of craft questions; how do I approach the end of the first act and the character's decision to embark on his journey, things like that. Real craft and process based questions that I don't think I could have handled as well last year. We talked about the program, the usefulness...- Hiram Bingham

So far, in my previous two interviews, they played it like it was a complete mystery, as if they had no idea how the committee operates, as if it was something akin to a game of chance or something like the Sorting Hat. Of course, I didn't get in, so it could be they were just being kind to a...- Hiram Bingham

Be prepared to pitch. Not everyone gets asked but you'll at least be asked what you're working on at the moment.- Hiram Bingham

The last two years it seems to have gone in waves, a bunch of people would get their interviews scheduled, then nothing for a couple of weeks, then another wave, etc. In my case, both times I would receive an email from the person conducting the interview to schedule a time the following week...- Hiram Bingham

I know someone who got in on a Skype interview. Like I said, I think it's more a matter of not being a psycho If they've already pegged you for admission. But more importantly, you've already done what you can do with your writing sample and your statement of purpose. Look at the interview...- Hiram Bingham

thehamm99 No, they only take up to about 20 (my first year of applying they only took 12. I'll explain at the end) out of 60 interviewed so there are quite a few who are included in the interviews who aren't getting in (unless, 45 people are either psychos or have decided to go elsewhere) The...- Hiram Bingham

I just wanted to offer my take on the whole rescinded interview thing. First, this is not an attempt to excuse them (seriously, it's Bush League but if you want to be a screenwriter, get used to it) but to offer some insight. This year will be my third interview, I've attended the Professional...- Hiram Bingham
