CalArts Fall 2011 Thread

[DanG]

I applied for the Film Directing program and was wondering who else is waiting for the big day?

This is the month we are meant to here so here we are, sitting and waiting...lets do it together

I just received mail telling me that i was accepted in CalArts. Film and Video MFA

 

[xenophilius]

I got my acceptance letter a few weeks ago, but I also got into USC so that's a tough choice. What do you guys think of CalArts?

 

[balawadhi]

is it just us for CalArts?

Hey I was accepted to the Film and Video program too.
Sooner than I expected.

Got a call from the Admission's Director about my transcript.

Only in the end of it she informed me that I was accepted to the directing program ;o)

Congrats to everyone who got accepted & good luck to everyone waiting.

For the past few days my parents have been receiving large packets in the mail. As I go to the mail box I am filled with excitement only to be let down.

Did your acceptance come in a large envelope with an admissions packet or just a normal envelope?

I just want to call them up, the waiting game is killer

Just got word in the mail today. Was accepted to the Directing MFA Program.

DanG-
The packet is medium sized. Thought it was an invitation to my friend's wedding actually.

 

[kwokts]

accepted to MFA film/video!
ah i am so happy now!!!!

 

[DanG]

jgleaso3, congrats man. When did you apply? I literally got mine out Jan 1st for the 5th deadline.

 

[assal]

Hey congrats @ kwokts! Nice to see an accepted fellow from NY who also interviewed at NYU! We should hear from them in the next weeks. Rainy weather, impatient waiting!!

 

[emchanted87]

i got into FILM AND VIDEO MFA!!! WOOT WOOT!!! YEAHHH the envelope is colorful and beautiful and see through like magic.

 

[M Dawg]

Rejected for film/video a couple days ago. Oh well. I knew it was a reach.

 

[kwokts]

yeah yeah the envelope is really darn pretty!!!

@assal, finger crossed!!
Out of all that you've applied, which one do you think you will go? Personally CalARTs is really my second wanted after Tisch, but planing to go there is going to cause a big fight between me and my parents...

@kwokts I'm very excited about the CalArts acceptance. I will decide which one would be the better school for me once I visit all of them.

(given other ones accept me ;o) )

Just got my acceptance to the Film Directing program yesterday - still can't believe it. The envelope was just as you all described it, so once I saw it I knew. But even if I hadn't, I later saw that the envelope says "congratulations" on the back.

To everyone who's still waiting - hold on, you'll know soon enough. To everyone who didn't get in, keep on truckin and keep making great films! To everyone else, hopefully I'll see you in the fall!

 

[DanG]

Where is everyone located, i am on the east coast...CT to be exact. Perhaps I haven't received anything because I am so far from Cali or because I am rejected?

My optimism is slowly shrinking

 

[birdie7]

Hi all.

Wondering if anyone else has heard from CalArts recently?

Also, are any of you that were accepted planning to go?
Or have you declined and let them know?

Thanks!

@birdie7

Got into CalArts a couple weeks ago and am thrilled about it. Unfortunately my schedule didn't allow me to go to the admitted students weekend, and I'm worried that I'm not going to be able to make it out there before decisions are due. Right now, I'm leaning towards accepting my position, as I got a nice scholarship and haven't heard back from the other two schools I sent in applications to. Did you make it to the admitted students weekend? If so, I'd love to ask you some questions.

@ GodisACowboy

Hey, I haven't been notified by CalArts yet.

That is why I was asking the questions I asked.

when are they asking you to notify them if you are planning to attend?

This would be helpful for me to know.

Thanks! And Congrats on getting in and a scholarship!
