AFI 2012 (2 Viewers)

Me too! Acceptance via email for production design! So glad I didn't have to wait another month.

Look forward to working with you guys to make your stories come alive in the visual sense!
 
Conrgats to all you guys!

Did you ALL had an interview? I am trying to find out - is it "mandatory" or not :)

Have you heard about any cinematography applicants even getting interviewed yet? Thats why I am confused. It seems to be the only discipline that hasn't been mentioned on here.
 
OK,

I haven't been denied nor[/B offered admission, I'm just in between, named as an alternate candidate for the Fall of 2012! :-s

While everything is currently not doomed for me, I just don't know what real chance(s) I might actually have to obtain a place in that program being an alternate candidate...
Would anybody know of anybody who got into AFI after being an alternate candidate (specifically in Producing)?

How does that work?
Any feedback about being in that situation would be most welcome.

Thank you!

Even though this isn't the best news, at least I somewhat know where to stand now...
 
Congrats everyone who got in! Just got an email-- I'm a screenwriting alternate... after my bomb of an interview I will take it, haha. Hope to see you guys in August!
 
Congratulations to those who were accepted! I'm glad to answer any questions you have, and I hope to see you on campus in the fall. In the meantime, celebrate!

As for anyone named an alternate, you shouldn't give up hope. Many people turn down their acceptance (going to another school, financial reasons, etc.), so there will be spaces opening up in the coming weeks and even into the summer. One thing you might want to do to help your chances is to email your interviewer or the head of your discipline and quickly reiterate your interest in the school - and if AFI is your top choice say you'll commit if selected off the alternate list. It's no guarantee, but anything you can do to make them think of you when the next space opens up is worthwhile.

Hi Tomojio,
I did interview, it was in early feb. I was in Los Angeles at the time so interviewed in person at the school. I applied in time for the Dec 1st deadline.
I had also applied for the 2011 class and was selected as an alternate candidate. When i applied last year i applied late - by the 15th may extended deadline and interviewed over skype.
Hope this helps,
cheers, and all the best!
