And haven't heard from them since then.

I sent transcript and TOEFL end of January. It might be a reason.

Did you submit everything late as well?

Two of my Letters of Rec had to be resent and were about a month ago, so that would explain the late confirmation. I just hope it doesn't make us an after thought or put us at a disadvantage.

Good Luck and congrats to those that have made it to the next phase.

Hi. Did they loose your recommendation letters?
I sent them 6 letters so they wanted me to cut 2 of them.
haha.

So I am seeing some people saying they have been quizzed about famous writers and producers in their interviews... is this common?

Hi. What did you apply for?

Yup, at AFI, UCLA, USC, Columbia and NYU.

my recommenders didn't include some info, they had to resubmit.

I applied for producing so I don't know what screenwriting professors ask.
You can check AFI 2010 forum. I'm sure they'll ask you about Tell mw about yourself and How do you pay?
Good luck!

 

[Max Keller]

I'm sure this has already been asked, but is anybody going to apply now that the deadlines have been pushed back? I'm considering applying for producing. Anyone else?

Hi,
Just so you know.

I got an interview notification today.

Directing, and interview will take place in NYC.

So don't worry, there's still hope!

Thanks for the heads-up. Good Luck.

So...screenwriters should be hearing in under three weeks. Actually, 17 days from tomorrow.

Anybody else feeling just a wee bit anxious?

Does anyone know when the Producer applicants hear back? So excited! I knocked my interview out of the park a few weeks ago!

I just checked this year's application and it said March 15th! Though it also said screenwriting was March 15th to April 15th, when they told me at my interview it would be March 15th. You can probably call and ask, though it might be later for you all since they extended the deadline to May (or perhaps they'll reserve a certain number of spots for those applicants and take some producers earlier).

Good luck, though...

Kris!

To reply to ur earlier msg I am riding the nervous train. Especially since a bunch of us screenwriters interviewed really early.

I had my interview this week. I have kind of mixed feelings about how it went, but I think I did the best I could. I recommend going into the interview with questions, since that's, oddly, the first thing they asked me.

Hello,

I received an email today(around 10am LA time) for an interview in LA for Directing.

My application arrived at AFI on the deadline, complete, with transcripts and recommendations.

I live in Germany, but I am a US citizen, so no foreign lang tests or anything tricky with my application.

So I think there is still hope if you haven't received an interview yet.

Hope dies last”¦

This is my 3rd interview at AFI in 5 years.

 

[filmguy99]

xtrmn8ngangl: Congrats! What disciplines did you interview for in the past? When's your interview?

 

[random]

A phone call from AFI woke me up this morning, told me to interview by skype in March 22. Such a surprise. I applied editing.

Hey,

Had my interview earlier last week. Did anybody else get sort of a good cop bad cop vibe from the two faculty interviewers? They didn't spend much time on me so much; were much more interested in my finances/if I could afford their school or not. I see what people meant about the atmosphere being 'conversational,' but it also felt like an interrogation concerning tastes.

Mine was sort of like good cop/bad cop, though they actually switched roles midway through!

For what discipline did you interview?
