I did, yes. I emailed Jill and asked her for my interviewers’ email addresses. She responded telling me they don’t disclose them, but that she’d be happy to forward my thank you note to them. So I wrote a quick letter to my interviewers and sent them to Jill! So you could skip the intermediate step and just ask Jill to forward your note to your interviewers directly

That’s so helpful, thank you!

I got three more views this week on my "Confrontation" video submission, after my interview! Hoping that's a good sign..

I think I've been getting some views too! Hard to tell but there's been a huge uptick from California. Hoping the best for everyone!!

Were we all suppose to send a Thank you note? I was going to but I wasn't sure if it was a thing so I didn't rip..

It's always a nice bonus if you send it shortly afterwards but I doubt it'll be held against you if you didn't

What questions do you have for the AFI Conservatory Admissions office?

The AFI Conservatory Admissions office has graciously agreed to be interviewed for an article on FilmSchool.org similar to the one that we have with USC. What questions would you like to ask them? We're compiling a list of questions now and would love to add any questions you might have for...

Ha, I think you're right! An exciting and nervewracking thought, lol.

Yeah, do y’all know if we find out financial/scholarship info at the same time as our acceptance? Or does financial stuff come a little later?

I emailed admissions to ask and was told that scholarship awards will be announced the same week.

Does anyone know how many people they usually accept from their interview numbers? like do they interview around the amount of people they accept?

I saw on the forum that someone in a previous year asked that during their interview and they said “the number of people we interview is very close to the number we accept”

I got my request around 3pm California time so maybe sometime around then?
