While I've been working in Tallahassee the last 3 years, I was interviewed and made an alternate each of those 3 years, including this one. I declined LMU the first year and Chapman last year to stay, work and give FSU another (and another) try. Every single person who interviewed is a potential...
ArmaFenix - no, I am from SoCal and graduated (undergrad) from Cal State Fullerton. I moved to Tally because my fiance is doing the PhD Developmental Psych program at FSU. And I interviewed for the MFA Film program at FSU twice, and apparently sucked - though I am supposedly an alternate again...
Hahaha. Thanks notroberttowne. I don't drink but the GF sure does. Who knows how much longer she has left. She says a year and a half, but these PhD programs aren't as structured and finite as most other graduate school programs I know of.
I wrestled with the decision everyday for weeks, often...
I debated it for quite awhile and couldn't come to a point where I was comfortable or confident enough in a decision to pull the trigger.
I'm in Tallahassee right now with my GF while she's in the PhD Psych program at FSU. Obviously one of my major concerns is the time apart and the toll it...
I just sent off my decline as well (MFA Production w/ Editing Emphasis), and will also remain - for better or worse - in "the real world", however boring and depressing it may be.
I worked to improve myself (my resume really) what little I could while being trapped in Tallahassee, and the result was the same. I am an alternate for the second year in a row. People will escape from this list, but it doesn't seem hopeful.
AJ, there are places other than in the direction I gave you, but the majority of them will be bad complexes, in bad areas, or both. The only exception I can think of is the newer area called Southwood, which is...south. It's near Capital Circle/Blairstone I think, but it'll be a more expensive...
Yeah me too, and it's not just a matter of me being anxious - I left anxious behind two months ago. It sucks because Orange County is where I'm most comfortable. I went to OCC, CSUF and it's where I played Hockey for years growing up. Chapman is probably one of the few schools I'd fit in with...
I applied to Production - Directing. I pestered them repeatedly in early April and was told by several different people that I'd know within a few weeks - probably by April 15th. Well, it's June 2nd. WTF is wrong with all these schools? My app was done in December. There's absolutely no excuse...
Having lived in So Cal for 26 years, I have to say that Orange County is an awesome place to be and Chapman is absolutely beautiful, especially since the new facilities opened. But I would tend to agree regarding some of the films. As far as the more recent work that I've seen goes, Mamitas was...
There's something to be said for the amount of time it takes to get a decision. All the excitement, anticipation and anxiety I felt at the beginning of this application process has long since vanished. I can hardly remember applying at this point and have discovered that a significant amount of...
