• Supporting Membership Pricing Increasing on May 1 for New Subscriptions

    To continue expanding the exclusive tools, producing more in-depth interviews with admissions teams, and keeping FilmSchool.org completely ad-free and unbiased, Supporting Membership prices for new subscriptions will increase starting May 1st.

AFI 2012

From what I've heard, for the Directing program, they accept 28 fellows and have about 10 people on the alternate list, ranked in the order they will be admitted should slot become available.

Apparently, per program, around 2-7 people decline the acceptance offer per year.

Basically, no need to keep tally, we already have a pretty firm idea on what the situation is and it's just a waiting game for us alternates.
 
I'm still waiting for a letter from AFI. (Here in Europe)
But as I did not get any email, I expect nothing good from that letter ;)

Does anyone have contrary experience?

Congrats to the accepted!

Is there anyone here who just got in from the waiting list and hasn't received their official letter in the mail? I got in last Tuesday and I still haven't received anything...

Also, congrats to everyone who was accepted!
 
Hey guys, I've been accepted as a Producing Fellow for the fall but for personal reasons have decided to choose USC's producing program instead. Hope an awesome alternate gets my spot!
 
Good to know @Aleona. As I am sure the other Alternate candidates (for the Producing concentration) would love to know as well. Congrats by the way.

On another note, if any waitlisters are offered a position off of the waitlist (even if that has already happened) it would be valuable information as well.
 
Hey Guys,

So I called the admissions office today and found out that I did not get in. If you are rejected, apparently, they send you a hard copy. If you call the office, though, they'll probably tell you you are rejected. But if you didn't get an e-mail, you probably didn't get in, like me.
 
I got my rejection letter in the mail today. You guys should check... if you dare :) (sorry if I seem too cheery about this bad news)

I applied for Editing after when the deadline is extended to May 1. This is the only school I want to go but I haven't heard anything from them yet. The admission office told me that my application is still under a review. And has no specific date to inform acceptance/rejections for the late applicants. So still waiting....Hopefully I know the result this wk. :'(
