I am waiting on the interview email for the directing track and feel like if I don't hear anything this week, I probably didn't get it this year. Best of luck to everyone.

Still waiting on mine as well.

Still waiting too. A little bummed because I thought I had a strong application -- but maybe can try again next year. Good luck to all!

I felt the same about mine! Good luck!

Same! I'm taking this as an opportunity to grow and hopefully improve for next year. Is anyone else looking into other schools?

It went well! I had Sandy Stern and we basically went for a casual chat about my day, what I've been reading and watching, and some traditional why AFI questions. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Does anyone have any ideas about AFI and other out sourced scholarships?
I had my interview two weeks ago (cinematography) and it went well,
but even if I would get accepted, there is no way I can attend without any help.
Any advice would be appreciated!

I believe AFI hands a few full scholarships. But very few(for the whole 150 students coming in each year). The info is in their web I believe, though I remember from the info session.

Outsourced... it depends on each one's situation I guess. Can't help with that. Don't want to discourage but I guess many deadlines for scholarships may have passed? No idea. Fullbright is an extended and popular scholarship for internationals, but tough and won't cover the whole tuition. Personally, I'd attend with a private scholarship for Spaniards and Portuguese that was granted to me in May 2022... so a long time in the making. Though I do recommend looking for that ASAP.

Does anyone know if you find out if you've received a scholarship when you get your acceptance? Or does it come out later?

See this application....I think it's at the same time.

AFI - Screenwriting 2019

ONCE AND FUTURE UPDATE: I have paid down my deposit for AFI, which I guess marks an end of the three year long "application" phase of the graduate school process for me. The hardest part, of course. Right? ...Right? I have now been admitted to AFI. I...

Awesome! Thank you!

Hey everyone. So I am extremely anxious and nervous. I know we have time until we hear about acceptance or rejection but I would be really depressed if I get rejected after the interview. My interview went great but Its difficult to tell because everyone's interview went great. I just wanna know. How many people get accepted from those who are interviewed?

I believe it's around 24 persons per discipline. But I do not know how many are called for interview (though I've been told it's not many more). What discipline did you apply for? (Directing here)

I'm anxious too! But we have to hold on.

Screenwriting! First time applying.

Screenwriting! First time applying.

Hold on! If we have been called for interview it means they are already interested in us and our profile. Our chances are more in than out

I'm applying too for the first time, but only after a second attempt for the scholarship that will allow me to attend AND after being rejected by NFTS without even an interview. I also share you anxiety and nerves but, honestly, I'm very happy I did not get this far in my first try because I would have been much less prepared mentally and emotionally. What I mean to say is "hold strong" cause we are nearly in. And if we are finally not (this time) it will probably be for better on the long run. We should be proud to be this far!

Cheers, patience (I need it too!) and hugs,
Galder

Honestly, I know the thought of rejection feels horrible but even getting an interview is a massive achievement so definitely hold on to that! When I did this last time, they told me that they usually interview around 80-100 people for 28 places but that could have changed as that was back during covid so there was a massive increase in applications. Hope that helps!

Looking at the AFI Directing stats, I could see two applicants were admitted without an interview. Is this common at AFI? or is the interview a requirement in the admission process usually?
