Was the financial aid letter via email or snail mail to your house? I never go to my condo to get my mail so wondering if I should go get it and see if hopefully I received a financial aid letter too.

It was in the mail. I received yesterday.

@anyone who was wondering: I interviewed with Robert Mandel, Dean of the AFI Conservatory, and Gill Dennis, Master Filmmaker-in-Residence, for directing. So bummed to be turned down!

Hey pins,

I was in a similar situation at a european film school - they invited me to an interview when I was eighteen and told me shortly after the interview I'd be too young to attend, because I didn't have enough life experience. But they wanted to tell me the reason of their decision and encouraged me to reapply. (Five years later they rejected me without explanation, but maybe I was too old for them, who knows xD)

What I am trying to say: maybe they just wanted to let you know you are talented and that they recquire applicants for feature film, not animation. So why don't you make a movie with actors and reapply next year? Your chances should be better then!

I received the financial aid letter yesterday as well.

 

[pinsandneedles]

@Moira. Thanks. Yes, they told me to reapply next year. I was just really excited to go to film school this September, not a year from September, but I guess everything in life happens for a reason. That's disappointing the school you interviewed with rejected you five years later!

 

[Moira]

@pins: I can understand your feelings, I was in the same boat back then. But the following year had so much in store for me, I wouldn't trade it for anything I think they didn't like that I studied something else in between - anyway, they didn't deserve me, it seems I'm over it and didn't hesitate to try again somewhere else! You shouldn't give up your dream just yet, either.

Yup got mine too!

 

[dusty_rose]

If ur comfortable saying, may I ask how much are they offering in loans? Enough to cover tuition, food and rent? I don't have scholarships and def don't want to work.

Oh”¦ my.. goodness. I just got a call for an interview this week. Almost had a heart attack!!!

Screenwriting.

Well, it was definitely nerve-racking opening the letter that was in my mailbox from AFI today. When I saw it, I was expecting it to be a rejection letter, but alas, it was just the Financial Aid info.

I'm going to assume that everyone who applied got the letter, and that I shouldn't read into the fact that I received one at all.

 

[wannabe13]

does anyone know when director admits will be notified? is it done over phone or email?
