AFI 2013/2014 Applicants!

[thisismyusername]

I still don't really understand how the "rolling admissions" process works. If you applied before Dec. 1, you should, in theory, know one way or another within a week.

But, if you're applied for something other than Directing after Dec. 1, it seems that, in theory, you might not know until July or later.

So fsr no directing applicant has heard back yet right?

If you applied for any other discipline besides directing by Dec 1st, you should have found out two weeks ago, I think March 15th or something like that. except producer applicants, seems they are behind with acceptance letters because of a staff member being sick. Director applicants will not find out acceptance until April 1st, on Monday. All other rolling applications (any other discipline besides directing that submitted after Dec 1st) I guess they tell you a few weeks after your interview, not really sure on that.

I just finished talking to the Admissions office about an hour ago. They said the Admissions Committee is having their Selection Meeting for Producing Applicants tomorrow afternoon and they will try to have the results out sometime between Friday and Tuesday.

I have a Skype interview for Cinematography next week. I'm almost considering flying to LA (from NYC). Personally, I'd feel more comfortable having the interview in person, but is that crazy? I guess I need to think about this.

Just got back from my interview and had a really great time talking about film with these people. they asked mostly about my ideas and my experience in making the film that I submitted, said they liked it all, and when the interview was over I felt like hugging them. Totally open supportive people. One more goodluck to everyone before next week, when all us Directing applicants will get the news. Its almost over folks!

Honestly I don't think its crazy. It helps to interview in person, and you will be able to double check for yourself what the vibe is like and if it makes sense for you. I say do it as long as the price of the tix aren't outrageous.

Ok, you convinced me. I was able to get a flight using miles so I am flying out this weekend for a couple days. I'm a little nervous about the person who was told at the interview that he wasn't accepted. I'd hate to fly across the country just to have them tell me I already wasn't accepted. But, I still feel more comfortable doing it in person, and I would like to see the campus and the facilities, etc.

I didn't get the feeling that they would meet with people often just to turn them down. I imagine that this person's work was great, and that they wanted to meet them and gauge it from there...and then figured it was best to let them know where they stood. Not a great technique, but I bet it was more out of confusion for them as well than it was out of malice or anything like that. You should ask them to set up a tour for you...I didn't do that and I wish I had. Good luck, and enjoy your trip!

Hey altergraph,

I had a Skype interview as well and it was a very casual conversation with Betsy Pollock and Neil Canton. They were extremely nice and easy to talk to. They asked me about my past year off, my experience in the industry, what films/tv I was interested in, my strengths and weaknesses. I know this sounds cliche, but be yourself and I'm sure it'll go your way!

Congrats to everyone who's been accepted, and to those who've gotten interviews!

I got a call to schedule an interview for cinematography a last Tuesday, and will be interviewing later this week.

Anyone have any advice on how to prepare?

 

[EmGee]

Hi all - Does anyone know what time tomorrow are the decisions going to be announced? The wait is killing me. Also are they going to email or call?

I interviewed last week on campus for the Directing discipline. Interview lasted 15 mins. Dunno what that means, although the interviewer did say "You did great".

God please give me patience... RIGHT NOW!

Good luck to all!

EmGee
