    AFI 2013/2014 Applicants!

    @Moira. Thanks. Yes, they told me to reapply next year. I was just really excited to go to film school this September, not a year from September, but I guess everything in life happens for a reason. That's disappointing the school you interviewed with rejected you five years later!

    AFI 2013/2014 Applicants!

    @anyone who was wondering: I interviewed with Robert Mandel, Dean of the AFI Conservatory, and Gill Dennis, Master Filmmaker-in-Residence, for directing. So bummed to be turned down!

    AFI 2013/2014 Applicants!

    I'm not lying, they said they should have warned me but they wanted to meet the person behind the films they watched but they will not be letting me in because I didn't have a reel with live actors! So frustrated. They also said that the interview went really well, and that I seemed really...

    They told me to apply next year with more experience working with actors, and that if they were buying talent they would take me, but that's not what they're doing.

    Hey out there, anyone had a directing interview lately? Getting a bit nervous! One of the guys was on the writing team for Return to Oz and Walk the Line, both great films. Any tips??

    Columbia 2013 Applicants

    I'm waiting for a rejection too, but still clinging to a bit of hope! Received a rejection from NYU today, so the silence was confirmed as a bad sign. Does anyone know if Columbia still has interview calls to make?

    Columbia 2013 Applicants

    okay, does anyone know yet whether silence=rejection? I have not heard a word from Columbia (or NYU for that matter). They have already sent out some rejections, right? Has anyone out there called the admission office and asked about what phase the admissions office is in?
