As far as I know from last year's forums, there are about 600 applicants each year and around thirty are accepted. But I don't have any official numbers. Just rumors

Still haven't heard anything. My e-mail sound is making me crazy, haha.

What I meant was, how many applicants are selected to pass the interview, out of those 600?

They also asked how I was planning to pay for it, which was a little strange.

Yeah they are required to ask that question to every applicant because it is so expensive the conservatory presidents I'm sure want to make sure those getting in can afford to pay and not have to drop out or get accepted and can't come because they can't afford it being that they only accept a small number.

Hey Everyone,

Glad to have found a place to get the scoop on this nerve-racking process! I was just curious if any applicants from the Editing discipline has heard anything. Anyone speculate a time frame for interview notification? Thanks!

 

[pinsandneedles]

Just called to see how many people they interview and they said they interview as many people as they are considering and don't keep track of the numbers.

Well that doesn't reassure me whatsoever. In a way though, that means the interview is just to see if they like you haha

Did anyone call to find out when they would have decision for the director discipline, when we would hear back whether we are in or not? Or does anyone who has been interviewed for the director discipline ask? I forgot to ask.

Yeah the interview numbers were not reassuring. They could be interviewing hundreds of people! I wish they'd just hurry up and make up their minds so our minds can be put to rest.

@TheRealSV: When did you get your Vimeo plays? I haven't had any action since January 3 and I think it was NYU, not AFI.

They also said they have not notified all the directing candidates for interviews yet, so there's still hope on that front.

When did they tell you this?

 

[pinsandneedles]

Today.

 

[ath579]

Have they notified all screenwriting applicants though?

 

[pinsandneedles]

I think not.

I don't know because I have several people that watch my videos from all over so not sure.

Ok so this is what I got off the conservatory website about notification dates.

Applicants will be notified of their status via mail postmarked on the notification deadline date.

Notification deadlines:
Directing applicants: April 1
All other disciplines: March 1 or twelve weeks following the receipt of the completed application and supporting materials.

Any fellow Editors hear anything?
