    Someone had applied a filter - I just re-set it to show all the schools. Everything is still there!

    Columbia University MFA Fall 2016

    Hey everyone, I just got notified that I'm on the waitlist. That means things are starting to go out! I'll likely be removing myself from the waitlist and attending UCLA, so that means anyone else on the waitlist, one less person to compete with! Good luck to everyone! :)

    post interview thank you note

    If you have contact info, it can't hurt as long as it's short and sweet - definitely don't use it as an extra space to expand on why you're so great. Just mention how much you enjoyed chatting, how the program seems like a great fit, and thank them for their time. That said, for my 3 interviews...

    Columbia University MFA Fall 2016

    I think before April 1st similar to last year, but some people were still interviewing last week. So I assume they'll use this week to go over applications and make decisions, and then we'll hear the week after.

    Columbia University MFA Fall 2016

    I have the same thing - probably a bug in the website, reloading the same content twice. I wouldn't read too much into it and wait until we hear directly from the school! :)

    Hey @jedi578k - I didn't apply to AFI, but a few people have mentioned that decisions are being released on April 4th. It seems like a lot of schools were on a later timeline this year than last, probably due to the number of applicants. Keep your chin up!

    2016 Interviews- Acceptances- Rejections

    Both Emerson and Chapman have soundstages, editing rooms, etc - so they both feel like studio-driven schools (though both encourage location shooting, too, of course). However, Chapman is more of a "conservatory" style, where each person focuses solely on what they were admitted for (directing...

    Chapman Deposit

    I think in my initial reply I thought @jj45 said it was their first choice - but after a second reading realized they're still waiting to hear back from places! That definitely changes things. I think it's a bargaining chip on behalf of the school, and a way for them to get committed students...

    Chapman Deposit

    Hey jj - it it's your first choice, don't be put off by the deposit. At most schools, the deposit is non-refundable but it goes toward your tuition for the first semester. So if you want to go there, you're just getting a head start on the tuition. I did some quick googling and found a site that...

    Tracking application status (Google Sheets)

    Looking at it as a prospective student, being able to glance and see "accepted" was really helpful. It's nice to see where people committed but "passed on" feels a little granular to me. Plus, it still doesn't guarantee you a spot on a waitlist :) People could put it in the notes section...

    Hi Nikhail - I'm applying to their Media Art program, which is their equivalent of a film production program. Looks like most others on the spreadsheet are applying to that program too. I haven't heard back from them, but hopefully lurkers can post if they've been accepted to the screenwriting...

    @filmophile20 @CWYH Regarding Chapman replies: I got an email from the professor saying thanks and putting me in touch with admissions, but haven't heard back from them yet. Hoping we'll get confirmation soon! Also, @filmophile20 , I noticed your profile says you live in Boston! I'm from...

    @Paul J. You tried to schedule a tour at Columbia? I was thinking about doing the same for the day of my interview, but if things are already set up then maybe I don't have to! Did they give you any further information on that front?

    2016 Interviews- Acceptances- Rejections

    @Paul J. Alright, alright, I'll hold out hope then - you make very valid points, especially on the USC front. I think part of my pessimism is actually just setting low expectations so I'm less likely to jump at every email I get!

    2016 Interviews- Acceptances- Rejections

    @katavi08 Yeah, in my mind I've given up on hearing from NYU and USC at this point... But who knows! Also, you're producing, right? All these programs are on such different schedules that I feel like it's hard to tell. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! @russki_D503 I know exactly how you...

    2016 Interviews- Acceptances- Rejections

    I honestly don't have one -- I think my friends and family all think I'm lying when I say that but it's actually true. I only applied to schools I would go to (and dropped some off my list during the application process because I realized I didn't like the programs), and I tried not to fall in...
