Just relax and be yourself. The interview was very informal and felt more like a casual conversation than a formal interview. There wasnt really any hard questions or anything that caught me off guard. Good Luck!!

Did everyone else just get this invitation to the 2011 thesis showcase? What terrible timing to get an email from AFI that is not admission related... still the projects look awesome.

Best of luck everyone! I am so excited that today is finally the day we are going to hear back.

By hear back today do you mean that they are going to be sending out letters today or that they'll make phone calls to those accepted?

Thanks!

I was Screenwriting

 

[Anomen1985]

thanks - this is a relief - it seems that directing candidates were interviewed slightly later this year and last year

and last year, they found out about admissions decisions a few days/weeks after the producers/screenwriters did

Alternate for screenwriting...

Hey do you know how many alternates they have?

 

[rob0683]

I was a Producing applicant.

Screenwriting alternate here. I wonder -- is there anyone who interviewed that did NOT get waitlisted (if they weren't accepted)?

(I don't know how many people they interviewed -- maybe 2/3 per each open position? Just a random guess.)

And obviously the waitlist is so if there's anyone who ends up not attending AFI, they can fill the class -- which makes me think that ultimately getting in off the waitlist will be almost impossible, particularly if they waitlisted most of the people they interviewed and only a small handful of those they accepted will end up not enrolling.

 

[Munky the robot]

Holy moly looks like every body got waitlisted for screenwriting

 

[apple]

haven't heard anything from producing yet.

 

[RobbieBlock]

Alternate as well, jesus christ.

 

[Cahoots07]
