AFI alternate (1 Viewer)

[Hernan]

ok guys, so I just sent my interest letter. They say I should know if I'm in before May 15th. Although I know my chances are slim, I think I still have a chance, and I'm letting hope die last. How many of you are in my possition???

 

[tabbycat]

I am also an alternate, for editing. What discipline did you apply to? The wait til the 15th is going to be tough.. I almost didn't make it until April 15th...

I'm also a directing alternate. Going to send my interest letter tomorrow, though I'm not sure exactly what I need to say in it. It's going to be another long month...

 

[eliya]

guys I am your hope

 

[tabbycat]

I sent my interest letter the day after I got my alternate letter. I kept it pretty simple, mostly because I'm pretty sure the person it goes to doesn't decide who gets in off the waitlist (I think)

i am going to commit to columbia. i have been accepted by AFI for the Director's conservatory. So, if you are waiting for a director's spot to open up at the AFI, my slot will soon become available.

 

[eliya]

You see... good luck for you...already 2 seats might be open for alternates... don't lose hope!
Where Is Ezgi?
somebody knows?

 

[mkench]

For those that were accepted to the directing program (Jack and Eliya) when do you have to let them know if you'll be attending or not?

wow!, 2 spots, I guess there is still hope... about the letter, I just kept it really short and simple

 

[jackjesus]

I was told that I need to inform the AFI by May 15th. At least that is when the deposit is due.

 

[Jiyoon]

I'm still waiting my letter. they said that latter was already sent though, I didn't get yet.

 

[tabbycat]

I'm sure it's different for every discipline, but does anyone know if they take a lot of alternates, or just a few? maybe even how many?

 

[Hernan]

I have no clue tabby, I hear that there are like 10 alternates for each discipline, and they have a ranking

 

[Jiyoon]

How many alternates usually could get in? 5 out of 10? I know there is no clue and changeable though, I need some information... also do you think that I can know my ranking if I ask to office?

 

[Hernan]

no jiyoon, I asked if I could know my ranking and they said they couldn't tell me... I think the number of alternates that could get in depend on how many spots become available

 

[Jiyoon]

Oh Thanks Hernan- I just want to know anything that make me feel better- haha (yes, want to cry...) anyway, I need to call tomorrow to know about my letter. I didn't get yet and I have to go back to my country in several weeks. haha-
OMG

 

[tabbycat]

any other alternate editors lurking around here besides me and jiyoon? any editors get in off the alternate list yet?

 

[Filipe]

Hang in there, guys!
I'm really hoping to meet you all. =)

Hey guys, I've been reading the threads for awhile and finally decided to register. For what it's worth to anyone, I was put on the ALT list for screenwriting. I got the call on Tuesday that they had an open spot for me. So I guess they are starting up the phone calls. Thought I would let anyone who has been waiting by the phone like me that your time is coming. Best to all of you.
