I emailed UCLA in regards to the message I received when I attempted to check my application status. I received this reply today.
"Thank you for your interest in the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. The decision shall be posted within a few weeks at the latest."
If interviews are...
Evaluating writing and film is very subjective. I say keep knocking on all the doors you find and someone will eventually open up. In the meantime, keep working on your craft, take feedback, get better. That's all any of us can do.
I also have not been interviewed and have not gotten a rejection yet. Since they don't recognize my email I'll probably call to follow up.
@icygee has been waitlisted without interview I believe?
I've entered my email and I got a message saying they cannot find my application based for the email address entered. Is anyone else having this issue? Does it mean they simply haven't posted a decision yet?
UCLA is a great school. Best of luck to you! You're in good hands.
I just checked my USC portal. Nothing yet. It's probably going to be a rejection but still, it would be nice to have some closure at this point. Hope everyone is finding some distractions by working on other projects!
Could not agree more with this. It's tough when you've done your part and now it's out of your control. All you can do is wait. I'm also working on a script for the competition season. Finished the first draft but it still needs work. Which screenwriting competitions are you looking at?
Not sure if I'll reapply yet. I didn't get an interview for UCLA, so that pretty much means I won't get in. I'm working on a feature to submit to a few competitions (Nicholl, AFF, Page, etc) I may reapply with that feature as a writing sample next year. We'll see ... I'm considering the...
I went to UNCSA for undergrad and it is a great school. It's a conservatory for the arts so very immersive. At the end of the first 2 years you get divided into 5 disciplines, based on your choice and whether you get into that discipline or not. Directing, producing, cinematography, editing...
INT. DILAPIDATED ROOM - MORNING
Liz jolts up in bed, wide eyed and breathing hard.
She looks across her makeshift room, the wall in front of her gone and offering a view of the LABORATORY, where Anna HAMMERS on a table. KNOCK, KNOCK.
Anna lifts up a wide sword blade then, as if feeling the...
Hey @panda . It's nice to see current students here and thank you for sharing with us!!! I was wondering if you have taken any classes on writing for animation? As far as writing for TV, are the professors open to an animated pilot?
UCLA has a very generic prompt for their SOP, and deceivingly so. I don't even think it's theirs; it's the prompt from the overall grad school application. I called and asked for more specifics, but whoever they had answering the phones didn't know either. Though they firmly and wrongly believed...
It seems they leave the Statement of Purpose instructions general on purpose to allows us freedom to write how we want to write. I think whatever we wrote is fine, there's no right way. I ran into a MFA screenwriting graduate at a CAPE and WGF panel in LA. Her name is Bo Yeon Kim and she was...
