There's also advice on what to do if not accepted in the forum below. Please start a 2024 thread if there isn't one yet.


Where did everyone get accepted to? Don't forget to log your applications.

You can even add members later if you forget to add them when the conversation is started.


You can start a private conversation with up to 10 members (but there's no limit for Supporting Members). You can even install FilmSchool.org as an "app" on your phone.

Supporting Members can also access private forums for accepted students but they're only active if make them active:


Long story short I hope you stick around by either using private messages or the private forums. :)

And congrats on being accepted! Where is everyone accepted to and where are you going to attend?

I've changed the text of the "Start Conversation" button to "Start Private Message" so it's more clear what it is. :)
