Congrats Filipe!!!!!!

AHHHHHH, FILIPE! Congratulations, buddy! I was really rooting for you! I'll forgive you for not going to USC, but at least you'll be in LA!

 

[Filipe]

I'm thrilled with the idea of being in LA. Regardless to where we end up going, I'm sure we'll all meet.

And I haven't given up hopes on USC yet.

Next step: find housing!

Congratulations Filipe!

Congratulations to everyone that has been accepted!

Good luck to those of you still waiting.

 

[JG86]

Congratulations, Filipe!

 

[Filipe]

Thanks Merkin and JG. I'm really excited to be among you, guys.

 

[Filipe]

Justin,

have you called them? It's almost 4PM.

 

[ProfUnrath]

Congrats on the good news, Filipe!

 

[Filipe]

Thanks Prof! Looking forward to meeting you.

 

[KayS]

Oh, whoops. I can't remember why, but I thought AFI was your first choice regardless of where else you get in, Filipe. What is your first choice?

 

[Justin18]

congrats filipe!

you really deserved it with that wait!

guess i'll call now

 

[Race_Bannon]

I'm with everyone else: congrats Filipe
But, Ahhh I still haven't heard anything! This is driving me crazy!

 

[AviQ]

Guys!!!

They just emailed me and let me know that I was accepted!

I can't wait to meet you!!!!!!

Federico, you're next!

 

[Starbuck7]

Congrats AviQ!!!!!!!!!! boy, this is suspenseful!!


Have you called them Justin? I'm dying to know if the rest of us still have a chance...

 

[Justin18]

well i called...not accepted

dang this is so depressing seemed like such a good opportunity after such a time/financial/emotional commitment in the application process

i guess the most constructive attitude i can take is that it was a 20-minue interview. i won't let that snippet of time and opinion affect my self-image or work because i spoke from my heart in my stories and studied the craft and that's all i can really control

 

[tabbycat]

sorry to hear, Justin
I know it's bad advice, but just try to keep your head up - they obviously thought you were good enough to interview, so they obviously think you're promising -- just remember that.

 

[Justin18]

thanks tabby good advice

 

[ProfUnrath]

Congrats on being accepted, Avi!

Justin - sorry to hear it didn't work out this year. Tabby's right; think of all the people who didn't even get interviews...

 

[Federico Cesca]

Avi that is awesome. I'm really happy for you !
And thanks for the support...but I guess for directing applicants the torture will last for some time...
