    Chapman News

    True True Fox. Also for me I have a significant other who needed to be able to accept a job offer as well. It's been a fun ride, I got to go to LA for the first time for an interview at UCLA, but I ultimately came up short at all 3 schools. I still have a lot of freelance opportunities (I'm...

    Chapman News

    I got the waitlist producing letter in the mail today. I figured as much when they never called me back about an interview. At least I didn't fly out there. I'm going to have to turn them down if I get in now though, I can't sit around waiting on them until the last minute unfortunately, as I...

    Chapman tech issues

    I agree. I got called mid-March to do an interview. I asked for a phone interview since they couldn't accommodate me on the same week as when I was flying out for UCLA's interview (and can't afford to keep flying there), they said they'd email me with a date for that. I called them about a...

    Rejection Headaches

    Icarus/KelMo: The USC Peter Stark rejection letter was a form letter. It basically said most people they don't accept due to poor English skills (I guess they get a lot of int'l applicants). They don't really make it clear, but it's not specifically the reason that either of us didn't get in...

    Rejection Headaches

    I feel your pain on those rejection letters KelMo, I've received no less than 4 from USC thus far.

    Chapman News

    Orange: I don't believe there are any official film school rankings. US News and World Report came out with some a few years ago that ranked USC and NYU tied for 1, and UCLA at 3. I don't believe Chapman was really as strong then as it is now. I would personally rank Chapman around 8 in the top...

    USC Application Status

    USC must really want to make sure I don't show up. I received my 3rd rejection letter today, I've gotten one each week the last 3 weeks.

    Where's Everyone At?

    Thanks for your comments SeattleCinemaniac I noticed a few people did this, and their free to answer as well, but what made you decide to apply to both film studies and film production programs? Aren't they pretty drastically different?

    USC Application Status

    That's unfortunately how most of the weaker programs work Bartleby, that's how they get more quality students by pushing their deadlines ahead of the more prestigious schools, forcing them to act. It's not just film, one of my other professors who did Journalism mentioned the same thing to me.

    USC Application Status

    Ya, I wasn't really knocking how they do it, but I can see how it comes off like that online. I just felt my contact with USC was completely minimalist compared to the other schools I've applied to. Literally the only contact I had was sending in my app, and getting a rejection letter. I guess...

    Fall '08

    I got emailed in late Feb from UCLA, my interview is next week. I just got called from Chapman last night, it was fairly late, but I live on the East Coast.

    Chapman News

    I got a call today for Producing. They wanted me to fly out for an interview in 2 weeks, but I declined for a phone interview since I'm flying out next week for a UCLA interview, and can't afford two flights a week apart.

    USC Application Status

    USC is definitely the most detached application process that I've had. They don't ask for much, and then never really talk to you. At least most of the other schools have phone interviews or in-person interviews with candidates.
