    2015 Interviews - Acceptances - Rejections

    I think the format's been generally the same from year to year. You'll be hearing about more of the specifics once someone gets in contact with you. Generally, you have about a few weeks to a month from when they notify you to the actual interview I believe. You'll meet with 3 faculty members...

    2015 Interviews - Acceptances - Rejections

    Hey everyone. Waiting too and as far as UCLA goes, they sent me an interview notice last February, around the 2nd or 3rd week. But they also pushed the deadline up this year by about a month. So I don't know if we won't be hearing until the middle of March but I'm trying not to sweat it too...

    Reapplying for the Fall-- Questions (UCLA, USC, NYU, AFI)

    Not this time, no. My previous application for NYU wasn't strong enough so I have to build more on that and for AFI, I don't think I would've had a strong application for that either until I've built up more of a portfolio.

    Reapplying for the Fall-- Questions (UCLA, USC, NYU, AFI)

    Just about a dozen I want to say for Directing. Cinematography was really really low. Like 3 or so people I think. It was some crazy statistic like that.

    Reapplying for the Fall-- Questions (UCLA, USC, NYU, AFI)

    Last year was a tick over 1,000 I believe with about 70ish interviewed for the Production track. I'm not sure if things are trending up or down in terms of applicants/acceptances year to year but my guess is there'll be more applicants.

    Reapplying for the Fall-- Questions (UCLA, USC, NYU, AFI)

    Thanks for the reply! I went with a brand new SoP that only alluded to the original that covered the past year only a bit but included an entirely new theme to make it read differently enough. I also included the original in the version I sent in, and a brand new treatment that more went along...

    Fall 2015 MFA PRODUCTION/DIRECTING APPLICANTS

    Hey everyone. I'm reapplying to UCLA this year after applying last year and getting an interview. Just one quick question...I'm turning in an entirely new Statement of Purpose and Film Treatment. My new statement of purpose is just about a page and a half or so of what I've done in the past...

    Reapplying for the Fall-- Questions (UCLA, USC, NYU, AFI)

    Hey everyone! I had a question about reapplying to the aforementioned MFA Directing programs and what should change in your application. I made it to the interview round for UCLA last year but wasn't selected (after some bad luck regarding not being informed about pitching a film and just...

    UCLA - MFA, Fall 2014

    Hey, I'm 22, born in '91! Yeah, I discovered that the average age for the directing program is around the mid-late 20s, for the past few years. I haven't heard anything yet but I just finished my interview Wednesday evening. I'm hoping for at least a waitlist too because UCLA is my top choice as...

    UCLA - MFA, Fall 2014

    JUST wrapped up my pitch. Honestly have very little indication of how it went but I got through it without any interruptions and they didn't really ask me any questions about it. Those interviewed, were you guys asked questions about the pitch (where the idea came from, problems with filming it...

    UCLA - MFA, Fall 2014

    So thankfully I found out today I've got another shot at pitching but the date is tentative, either next week or the week after. I think they said they'd be making decisions very soon though so I'm not sure if this might just be an interview to get on the waitlist or something. Anxiety, man...

    UCLA - MFA, Fall 2014

    Got an email from the office today saying they informed the faculty of my decision and would "let me know" on if I can Skype in or not. But if they're making their decisions soon, I don't know how much this is going to weigh in much since their impressions may already be built in. Hopefully this...

    UCLA - MFA, Fall 2014

    Same. :/ I was never told we needed to prepare a pitch and while I've written tons of things in the past and feel like I could've been able to go off the cuff, I completely froze. I sent an email to see if I could call or skype in a pitch since I never received details about the interview other...

    UCLA - MFA, Fall 2014

    Anyone else have their interview this weekend? I'm trying to burn a copy of my first short film on a DVD but my DVD burner hasn't been working all day. I've got a copy on a USB flash drive so I hope that'll be acceptable. Excited too since it's my first time out and about in NYC...seeing Dave...

    USC MFA Fall 2014 (film & tv)

    Hey all. So I'm assuming a status still in the "Your file has been forwarded to the..." phase isn't great news. This is also with no interview, no correspondence save for a missing transcript notification about 2 months ago, and no waitlist letter. Bummer.

    UCLA - MFA, Fall 2014

    Thanks for the reply! I mean, I do like dressing up on occasion and I can be comfortable in a tie but I was wondering what most people wear so I'm not that one douchebag who shows up way overdressed. Because I still like the idea of looking fancy.

    UCLA - MFA, Fall 2014

    Hey everyone. So for the Production/Directing interview, does anyone know what would be appropriate to wear? I've heard the interview's casual but to dress as a "tidy version of yourself." Someone like me, who really only owns like 3 shirts, two of which probably have holes in them (aka my...

    USC MFA Fall 2014 (film & tv)

    So you received your letter BEFORE the online status change?

    USC MFA Fall 2014 (film & tv)

    Same. Did you get an interview at all though? I didn't and it's not looking good. Some of my LOR were about a week after 12/1 and I turned my app in on that date exactly but I doubt those are the reason for any late news since most interviews (I think everyone who was accepted was asked?)...

    USC MFA Fall 2014 (film & tv)

    Hey, I'm just curious but those of you who have not received interviews yet or those of you who have and have not received decisions yet, what's the status of your application?
