Hi all! Congrats to all accepted! Is there a Columbia Whatsapp?
To answer some of the questions I saw: I was interviewed by Jamal and Barbara and I got in (my interview was also recorded)
Proud of my visual sample. I liked the three-paged scene I submitted. Wrote the short in a day or two so it wasn't my best but it had a good enough concept. And my feature treatment was like, okay. Interview also went well. Generally, the faculty spoke to me about my visual sample. It's what...
It was difficult to summarize my academic, professional and spiritual journey all in one essay so I don't believe I did my best in terms of the personal statement. I did try my hardest to convey my passion and thoughts on film though. I think that out of everything I submitted, my visual sample...
Hi, a couple people heard back -- you can see their posts in the previous page. I did too. Last year, it seems that decisions went out in 2 days so there is still hope! They started calls very late today so I think there is a good chance of people hearing back tomorrow as well.
Hi! I was also interviewed by Jamal and another screenwriting professor Barbara. I think it's more of an availability thing for them. My application was very directing-focused and they mostly talked to me about my visual sample, so I doubt that they thought of me as more of a writer. Hope this...
The application was one of the rare ones that didn't require too many supplements. It was the first one I did for any grad school so it was a bit nerve wracking, but I was happy there wasn't too much to do.
Hey guys, just saw an offer letter from UT-Austin in my email! Fingers crossed for everyone here! Let me know if anyone got in as well and let's discuss haha
Hi I'm from Europe, but living in the States for my OPT. I did get an interview. I gave my US address as my physical one, so maybe I don't fall into the int'l batch as far as interview invites go.
Got mine today as well! Noticed the email pretty late and dates seemed kind of limited. Hopefully there are a couple more days of interview requests. I remember a member mentioned they got their request last Friday, which might suggest they're dividing them into several days?
not my strongest work on the writing samples, but pretty decent and consistent in tone. one very strong recommendation. and a very strong visual submission.
I think that would make sense. My friend told me they received their interview request one day after everyone posted about it in the threads (last year). So, there is still time, and every year is different. If it doesn't work out there are other schools too! :)
Hey! I applied to UT Austin as well. Have not heard yet either, but I got three 100% views in the past two weeks. Not sure if they're from Austin, but I am assuming it's UT because that's the only place I sent the link to.
I know it's not life or death, but it's fun to get excited about these things. And I feel like there's nothing wrong with not being calm in these kinds of situations— it's super natural. As long as you know you'll be fine either way.
That being said, I'M FREAKING OUT!!! hehehe
