Acceptances

[robertish]

Hey all. the next two weeks I will be crapping myself on a minute by minute basis. It would be nice to do so in good company. ...
Anyone who gets acceptances or info an when we shopuld expect them should post here.
To recap the info I've been told and found on this site ... NYU & USC seem to be shooting for a "no later than april 1" date.
Columbia says they are shooting for a, no later than "the second week of April".
UCLA is still conducting interviews well into the first week of April and I have heard no word on their expected date of announcing acceptances yet.
I expect that means some of the lucky, no brainer, obvious choices for NYU and USC may be hearing as soon as the week after next. Tell us, the moment you hear.
And also those are the four I applied to, but, if theres any other applicants who know on the response dates of AFI, or Florida or Austin, etc. etc. help fill in that collective knowledge gap.

[Bandar Albuliwi]

Are you guys going to attend AFI now that you have been accepted?

 

[Icarus Ascending]

No idea, Bandar. I'm considering my options.

(And by "considering my options," I, of course, mean "freaking out.")

I've been accepted to Chapman and American (in DC). I have an interview tomorrow with FSU. And I just got an email from Boston notifying me that admissions decisions have been mailed.

 

[d_lefeb]

When did you get the email Bartleby? I applied to BU as well, but in film studies.

 

[Bartleby Fink]

I got it earlier today, but I'm in Florida for my FSU interview. I don't know when it will arrive or I'll get to see it.

hey pinto and icarus,

congrats people - that's really exciting.
When is the deadline for giving AFI the good ole yay or nay?

 

[texasfilmguy]

I got accepted to AFI screenwriting on Friday as well. Icarus - what's your story? Apply anywhere else?

 

[Bartleby Fink]

Just got home from Florida and my acceptance packet from Boston was waiting for me.

This makes me feel much, much better about the way my FSU interview went.

 

[FLFilmFan]

what do you mean it makes you feel that much better? you did well? i would like to know how you felt about that interview.

 

[Icarus Ascending]

Hey, all--

First, thanks to everyone who has sent their congrats. These forums rock hard. I mean, hell, they've saved me a small fortune on therapy bills alone. It almost feels like I have health insurance.

Birdman: I got no clue about AFI's deadline. Hopefully it's not before my scheduled trip to LA in early April. That would make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

Texasfilmguy: I applied to UCLA and USC as well. My UCLA interview is on Saturday, and God only knows what goes on at USC. (If you want a good laugh, try calling the USC screenwriting department and asking a question.) Didn't you apply to Texas and--what, UCLA? Any news on either of those fronts?

[Bandar Albuliwi]

Icarus,

What are your school preferences as of now?

 

[Jayimess]

IA,

I didn't realize your application process was identical to mine last year...SW, those three.

Let me know if I can help you at all.

 

[Bartleby Fink]

Getting accepted into BU made me feel better about my FSU interview because no matter how badly I might have thought I did, someone (BU) saw enough in my materials to deem me acceptable.
