I did like you did. And as you all will soon be able to tell, I like emoticons.

 

[redpokiepenguin]

haha Grabbag thank you for replying, although i'm unsure if you meant that you also did producing at nyu or not. oh well good luck to you either way

I got an interview for Columbia on March 12th. Good luck to everyone else.

I'm so torn...

Do I want a call from Columbia for an interview because I'm riding the fence and potentially be accepted, or do I want to wait for a call from them in April to tell me that I've been accepted all along?

I just wish they interviewed everyone, but I reckon you'd have a better shot at the assistantships and scholarships if you're accepted without the interview. Who knows...

I don't know.... I just want to go to Columbia.

i applied to 4 schools. sadly, the only one i didnt get an interview from was columbia.

i still wish everyone who did get an interview, the very best of luck!

 

[Allen Ho]

hey FLFilmFan,

I think Columbia is still calling for interviews, so we all still have a chance!

HEY everyone,

I swore myself i wouldn't go to this type of site because it only makes me more nervous than i already am but it's totally beyond my control (damn lack of willingness).
I haven't heard from any of the universities i applied to (meaning USC, columbia, NYU tish and UCLA) nor have i been called in or rejected. Is it because i'm foreigner? And they know i'm most unlikely gonna fly to USA for an interview or maybe because they didn't receive my toefl yet?
I'm so confused right now.

Hey, K-MEE. I don't want to make you feel more nervous, but I am an international student as well and I got the call from Columbia this Tuesday. But no worries: it has been posted that calls will be made up until next week. Cheers!

 

[K-MEE]

thanks d_lefeb.

 

[Bartleby Fink]

Agh!

I haven't heard anything yet!

Panic!

 

[Calliegrl03]

Let's pray that today is our day to get calls...

 

[Luke joseph]

uggg. I left my cell phone in my apartment. Do they email as well as call?

 

[d_lefeb]

Hey Luke,

They called my home number (my sister answered), left a message on my cell phone AND emailed. You're supposed to email back anyway, not call. Cheers and viel glück!

 

[K-MEE]

I've called Columbia today and they say, they're gonna keep doing interviews till the end of March and that some aren't getting any interviews but that doesn't mean they won't be accepted. Basically you can be accepted with or without interviews. I don't like they sneaky false hope. Why would they call some people but not others?
Sadistic

 

[Luke joseph]

Thanks for the replay d lefeb and K-mee,

I think I would much rather get an interview and at least know I'm being considered, than to wait until the end of april with thoughts of the worst running through my head

 

[d_lefeb]

I hear ya, Luke. And honestly, I can't really imagine that many people getting in without one, no matter what they say.

Allen, Bandar,
Did you recieve an email regarding interview options for Singapore? I want to see if we can interview in NYC. That's the best option at this point. Worst case, I will have to do a phone interview. To do the webcam interview, they're asking you to get a mircophone and webcam to conduct it. I may ask around, but I am going to send Ms. Gonalez another email.

I don't understand why we can't interview in NYC? There is a NYU Tisch Asia representive based in NYC too. I'm going to call him now.

 

[Bandar Albuliwi]

I did receive the e-mail and I have requested a telephone interview.

 

[Allen Ho]

What'd the representative say?

I'd much rather interview in person. I am terrible with the phone and I hate using Skype and iChat...It feels unprofessional and a lot can go wrong.

My mom has frequent flyer miles to Asia...I am wondering if I should make the trek over there.

Not hearing from Columbia yet makes me feel like I should fully explore my other options...I don't know what to do!

 

[Calliegrl03]

I agree. I left a message for the Tisch Asia in NYC. I will call again.

I just spoke to Mr. Derise, rep for Tisch Asia. He is going to send an email to Virginia about the issue. I'm really thinking that the in person at Singapore, phone and video conference interviews are going to our only option.

Allen,
Maybe you should fly out there after all. Let us know how it goes, ji. I can't afford it or miss a few days of work.
