Wow! Congratulations Hernan! I wish I can be as lucky as you, still waiting for a call

[Ryan Serey]

Whew! I just got the call. I have been accepted into the screenwriting program. I look forward to meeting the other fellows, and to those still waiting, don't give up.

Did anyone who were in the alternate list receive a rejection letter? I just called admissions and they said they're extending the deadline to June 15 for cinematography, I'm not sure about the other disciplines.

 

[Jiyoon]

I've got mail about the extending deadline to June 15th. and I'm in Editing program.

me too, I just got that email. I'm a bit confused though, because they did tell me about a week ago that all the editing slots had been accepted, so I'm not sure what this means, if anything.

 

[Jiyoon]

anybody has up-dated information so far??

 

[tabbycat]

nope, nothing. anyone know why they extended the deadline? when will I get my rejection letter???

 

[Jiyoon]

I got a mail about the editing class filled for 2009-10 year. so taddycat, did you get any good news? or same to me?
if you have same situation as me, what will you do?

 

[tabbycat]

I haven't gotten anything from them yet, rejection or otherwise. Did you get e-mail or regular mail?

I've pretty much already moved on from grad school, I'm 99% I'm rejected from AFI since I haven't heard from them, but would like that closure. I'm just working more at learning new skills so I can get a better job. I haven't decided if I'll reapply anywhere...

 

[Jiyoon]

I got e-mail. because I asked them about taking another TOEFL and they said, since the editing class filled, I don't need to it.
I think I'm gonna try one more for 2010 with studying film in US.
I hope you'd reapply and meet sometime

I just got an email telling me that I'm still an alternate, and that a spot may open up in the summer, they'll let me know on July 20th. I told them I'm still interested but I don't really know what the chances are. so weird.

 

[Hong]

I got the same email today, I wonder why they keep postponing this, shouldn't they be dropped if they haven't made the payment by now?

 

[tabbycat]

I'm with ya Hong. But maybe there's some indication that someone may drop out even after they've paid the deposit.. it does happen. I wonder if they did this same thing last year though, postponing the deadline.

 

[tabbycat]

either way, I should probably be glad that they're even still considering me, no matter how slim my chances
