    NYU Grad Film vs. UCLA Production/Directing

    Well, I already put my deposit down for NYU and declined UCLA twice but today they gave me the full ride scholarship+stipend. This is crazy. It’d be a difference of about $100k in debt. I have no idea what to do other than literally flipping a coin at this point.

    UCLA Directing/Production Fall 2019

    The deadline is April 15 though I'm sure if you are on a waitlist, they'll definitely give you more time for people who decline their acceptance. It seems as if they have a blind waitlist...I'm going to decline my acceptance either today or tomorrow so hopefully one of you can have my spot!

    NYU Grad Film vs. UCLA Production/Directing

    Thanks for the tips, especially the bit about trader joe’s...never knew that it was nationally priced. Can’t wait for the hellhole that is deciding where to live in NY! Though I may do Jersey now that you and a few people I’ve talked to have mentioned it...

    NYU Grad Film vs. UCLA Production/Directing

    I actually like the chaos of nyc more than LA. Not a fan of how laid back it is. I do wonder what the average age of UCLA is compared to NYU though

    NYU Grad Film vs. UCLA Production/Directing

    Hey all, I'm in the process of choosing between NYU Grad Film and UCLA Production/Directing. I've decided to list a few pros/cons off the top of my head. Probably a few things I'm missing but overall, it's one of those situations where my head says UCLA but my heart says NYU. Or maybe not, I...

    UCLA Directing/Production Fall 2019

    I will say that I am also considering my personal life and how happy I'd be in each city, but if we're looking at JUST the programs themselves... First Year Curriculum: UCLA has you making two films, I believe, while crewing on everyone else's. One two-minute film and one six-minute film with...

    UCLA Directing/Production Fall 2019

    There is so much to consider that I may end up just making a new thread to get other people's input. Long story short, money is going to play a significant factor and I'm waiting for NYU's final financial aid package to come through. I essentially asked for more money last night from them after...

    UCLA Directing/Production Fall 2019

    Congrats!! And FYI I was interviewed on the 15th so I don’t think the date has much to do with anything. When I spoke to Becky yesterday, she said she had to “input everyone’s info into the system” and that she would try to do it last night but I’m not sure if she did yet since I’ve yet to...

    NYU Graduate Film 2019

    How's everyone's financial aid process going? I received my aid package when I got my acceptance letter on Friday. It stated it was a combination of merit and need worth $27,500. I just now received an email with a scholarship from a private donor that NYU put me up for worth $25,100. I called...

    UCLA Directing/Production Fall 2019

    Hi all. Just got the call that I’ve been accepted by the department. Also big news: the faculty wants to put me up for the Graduate Opportunty Fellowship Program, which would essentially be full tuition for a non-CA resident, plus a $20,000 stipend to use on anything (100% is going to rent). The...

    NYU Graduate Film 2019

    Congrats!! Congrats! Let me know if you’ll be attending! I’m 99% sure with the only factor being if UCLA provides a full ride or something and NYU gives nothing. If so, I’ll see you in the Fall!

    UCLA Directing/Production Fall 2019

    Did anyone by chance ask when we’d hear back? I think past years have been the third week of March but this year’s interview schedule is a bit later.

    UCLA Directing/Production Fall 2019

    Just had my interview. Thought it went really well. Nancy even asked to make sure I fill out a statement of diversity for grants and stuff but not sure if she asks that of everyone who qualifies. Killed the pitch. Overdressed but whatever. Really nice campus too but the area around here seems...
