AFI Conservatory 2023 - Who is applying?

Here's last year's thread if you want to ask last year's applicants. :)

And this is this year's thread if you want to check in there:

 
Reminder that deadline is December 1st! Is anyone still working on their application?

Please remember to log your application in our database once you submit so we can improve our acceptance data and help others.

Logging your application is at the very basic level just a logging of important dates, data, and writing about your experience. Uploading your application materiel is totally optional and a lot of people add that to their application here once decisions have gone out.

Just submitted my app!!
 
From an AFI email I just got:

The application deadline for the Cinematography, Editing, Producing and Production Design disciplines has been extended. Please note that all online application materials and portfolio requirements must be received by 8:59 p.m. PT (11:59 p.m. ET) on Wednesday, January 4, 2023.

I know that this happened last year for some disciplines as well, did this push back the time line for finding out if you got an interview for people applying? Anyone who applied last year with the extended deadline know?
 
hi, any idea if AFI has started sending in their interview emails? They mentioned that they'd be conducting the interviews towards the end of Jan and the whole of Feb, so I was wondering if they had started sending emails already?
 
I have not heard back for interviews yet, but my Vimeo portfolio links have been opened periodically based on the notifications I get.

Will circle back on updates!

Cinematography applicant here. No emails yet on my end either. I tried looking at previous years and it seemed like generally, interview emails started appearing around January 14-19, though I was just eyeballing things with what previous applicants shared.
 
Mine is on Jan 20th, what about you?
Awesome! Be sure to edit your application on this site with your notification and interview data.

If you select "post as update" while saving I'll bring your application back to the top of the list so people see the update. :)
