Just the phone call. He said an official letter/email/etc will be coming. He also gave me my scholarship amount over the phone. And yes, he was one of my two interviewers!

I have yet to hear anything, no call or email

When will screenwriting and directing be notified? Maybe one week after creative producing or two?

DesertDreams · Mar 12, 2026

I got an email this morning that also included scholarship info!

Seems like the Directing/Screenwriting tracks will have to wait a bit longer

Check the applications in their profile... Creative Producing. (Click on their username will have a link to their logged applications)

Be sure to log yours everyone if you haven't yet.

The admitted students reception is in less than two weeks (at least for Writing, wasn't clear if it was for all disciplines) so I figure everyone will hear by then at least!

Ah that makes more sense. It’s kind of exhilarating waiting for a potential call

I’m still heavily debating if taking on debt is worth it if I do get in. That being said, I still am dying to get in

Good luck!!! It seems like from years past SW&D calls come last -- my guess is sometime next week. And I feel similarly regarding the cost... but yes, very nice to have the decision in my hands!

Hi everyone! Got my phone call from Jack yesterday

( Creative Producing) Im still in denial, cant wait for the official letter. Has anyone received it yet?

armaan2412 · Mar 13, 2026

I applied for Writing for Film and TV and haven't heard anything yet. Do they send out all decisions at once?

Wondering about this too! I wasn't interviewed by David.

aliceleigh123 · Mar 13, 2026

Out of curiosity, was anyone interviewed by Trey Ellis and Tom Kaplin for Directing and Screenwriting?

armaan2412 · Mar 13, 2026

I was interviewed by Blair Singer and Rafael Lessa. I think Blair is one of the co-chairs of the Writing for Film and TV program!

I was interviewed by them too, and haven’t heard anything back yet…

cyberpeach · Mar 13, 2026

Just out of curiosity, does it matter whom you interviewed with? Was this a sort of indication of the chance of getting in?
