    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    I have decided to accept my offer at Columbia after finding out about Obama's new "Pay As You Earn" program as well as a scholarship upgrade from Columbia. I might have to go live under a bridge after I graduate but at least I'll be wearing a nice hat.

    That's very honorable of you. I am not Jennifer Lee, though. I make films that will never be that successful, and I don't want to/can't compromise that. I'm already attending film school here in Brussels. I hate it, and I hate Brussels but tuition is....... entirely free (actually technically I...

    Thanks, that's very nice of you to say considering the fact that me not going might mean a chance for you to go. Not having a safety net is very scary. $160,000 spent in just two years, I could make a feature length with that money! I will wait to get an answer from Eric about scholarships but...

    Total budget is $84,500 (minus $10,000 = $74,500) so I'm probably going to have to give up my spot, the costs are just way higher than I had imagined. Both my parents make minimum wage so I'd need to win the lottery to be able to attend Columbia. It's pretty ridiculous.

    Again, last year people were still getting acceptance calls one week after the first call had been made. Fightclub I'm a US citizen but I'm based in Brussels, so it was an "international call". But I don't think they make that distinction when calling applicants?! I hope you guys get the...

    Well I hope you're right! I just sent an email to Eric asking him about that so we'll see how it goes. Ovsanna: Last year some people were called as long as one week after the first person had been accepted. So don't lose hope.

    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    Thanks to both of you! GMF: I might be wrong but last year it seems as if they called some of the applicants and emailed the others. I'm not sure why they do that. As for my finances, both my parents make less than $15,000 a year so there's not gonna be any miracles there. But now I'm a bit...

    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    Hey I've been accepted. Eric sent me an email asking me to call him asap cause he didn't have my phone number. The thing is that I "only" got a $10,000 scholarship. I don't think I can afford to pay that much. We'll see. (I realize that getting a $10,000 scholarship is amazing, I'm only using...

    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    Hey. I interviewed with Dan and Eric. I'm not sure how long it went because I pretty much lost track of time as soon as I entered the building, but I know it lasted for at least 30 minutes. I have no idea whether I'll get in or not. I think it went well but having lived in the city for several...

    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    Hey I had my interview today. The thing about the interviewers not reading your application isn't necessarily true. They had read my application (they mentioned several details from it) and they had seen the movies that I had sent (also mentioned things about that). The interview itself is way...

    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    I've read on other posts that you have a 50% chance of getting in, but I don't know how accurate and up to date this information is.

    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    Thanks! At first I was under the impression that getting an interview was a bad sign because it meant that they weren't sure about you so I really had no idea how I was supposed to feel when I got the email.

    Columbia 2014 Applicants

    Hey everyone, I got an email on tuesday for an interview with Eric and Dan on March 17th (Writing/Directing). I'm American but I'm currently 'studying' filmmaking abroad, so I'll be flying to New York just for the interview as I know I will most definitely f... the Skype interview up. Plane...
