Waitlisted

Congrats! Be sure to log your applications everyone.

Didn’t get an email 
and I really thought I had a great interview.
and I really thought I had a great interview.Check the portal maybe. I didn’t get the email either, I saw it on the portal.Didn’t get an email
Congrats to everyone!
I wonder if we get admitted off the waitlist, if we will still be offered scholarships. After having a lot of time to think, I just can’t justify the price tag of attending without a hefty scholarship. That’s why I am interviewing with Stony Brook on Thursday.

I’d be surprised if they offered a scholarship after the waitlist admit.
I got rejected, as expected but congrats to everyone on the wait list! I am applying to NFTS in England, anyone else thinking of applying there?
Hi all! I wanted to see if there was a group chat being made for accepted students? Thank you!
I don't think there is yet but feel free to create one.
Admitted Applicant Private Group Threads
Create private group threads to meet your fellow future classmates, form a screenwriting group, or anything else. It works similar to GroupMe and only invited members can see the thread or get notified about the thread.

And congrats!!!
If any accepted S&D admits decide they’ll be turning down their offer for whatever reason, could you update us? For us waitlisted folks lol. Thanks!
