Didn’t apply for directing, but I applied for production design! Seems to be a small group of us applying this year, or maybe Chapman applicants haven’t been as active

It's mentioned on their website that MFA program will be two years going forward. Has this been confirmed with applicants?

I received an interview invitation a few days ago! But there are no available time slots left in their interview calendar.

Does this mean you are unable to schedule an interview? Or just that they have scheduled or done all the interviews they were going to send out this cycle.

I reported the problem to them. They just sent me a new link and opened up more time slots in the interview calendar so I am able to schedule now! It seems they will doing the interviews during 2/19-3/8.

Any transfer students?

 

[pilot3600]

Any other directing applicants get interviews?

Any other directing applicants get interviews?

Nope, haven't gotten anything about an interview yet. The last I heard from anything Chapman was when I got the invite to the Q&A with Alexnder Payne viva Zoom. Which was about a week ago.

 

[DJPorras89]

Same... they just don't want to meet me, I guess.

 

[pilot3600]

I'm very curious if Chapman has had a huge influx of applications since they've started ranking higher in the top film school lists. It seems like a few years ago they had a higher acceptance rate, I wouldn't be surprised if it has become much more competitive.
