Chapman Fall 2010 (1 Viewer)

Hmm, apparently I was supposed to send a copy of my diploma as well as my transcript. I emailed a scanned copy in the hope that they'll start processing my application. It would really suck if they won't look at it until a paper copy gets in, which could take up to two weeks.... Wish I lived in the US.

Maybe you can ask them if they would forward your application to the dept with the scanned unoffical version, while the official come in the mail.

My webadvisor changed to Admission Approved, but I've heard not a whisper from the school since my application went in. I believe this means I've been accepted, right?

I'm MFA Screenwriting, so if I am in, turns out, you don't need an interview.

I don't think they interview anyone for screenwriting. Congrats IP.

 

[Mike_V]

admission approved means you're in.
congratulations and see you this fall.

Congratulations to all those who got in, and good luck to those still waiting to hear.

It looks like a thread from last year has been revived. For those of who are interested, there is a discussion on living at Chapman here:

I also think it would be a good idea to network via Facebook. Anyone else interested in this? If so, post your name, concentration, and Facebook profile link. I'll start:

I was in Orange last week for an interview and had a chance to look at some housing in the area. From the brief research I did, it seems it's most affordable to live off-campus with a roommate or two. In Orange, rent seemed to be about $700/mo for a 2 bedroom 1 bath. Is this the norm, Mike? Is it cheeper to live farther away from campus?

asr - I have been checking on Craigslist and the range I have seen is between $1200 to $1700 for 2 bedrooms. Do you remember the name of the apartment complex you checked with $700 rent?

Haha, I'm sorry about the $700/mo above. I meant $700 per person, making it $1400 for a 2 bedroom, or $2100 for a 3 bedroom...

 

[Mike_V]

to ASR i'm not so sure how much it costs, but for a 2bd+ it should be about the right amount. if you want to try something different, you can get a 1 bd 1ba for something in the 1k and you can divide it in half, one takes the bedroom the other takes the living room. etc etc.
good luck.

Sorry I disappeared. I was busy working with my editor and with the thesis screenings this week.

@ StageMom
The cinematography program might be the best at the school. Watching thesis films, I was consistently very impressed with our DPs. I know my brother came in with absolutely no photography experience beyond one college class and he is a brilliant DP now. Although he's pretty busy now doing color correction for an undergrad thesis film he also shot. But I can say his experience was really positive.

The cine program has the fewest number of females of any grad program. In our class there are I think 2 out of 22. Personally I am one of 5 female directors out of 23. I'm glad to see more female cine's entering the program. The experience of being a woman in an incredibly male dominated field is a whole thing unto itself.


@ asr
Yeah, 700 per person a month is reasonable. Some live for a little less than that, but I'd say that's about where you'd be aiming in Orange. Personally I pay a little more than that.

Well, my file is finally complete. Decision pending... Seriously wonder how long it takes till they start notifying this new group of applicants. Gonna check out last year's tread. How's everyone doing?

 

[New2you]

Fine mostly. Just huddled in the corner in a fetal position... Losing my mind.

 

[MJS11]

Chewing your own hair?

 

[New2you]

Oh yeah, all kinds of chewing going on. Hair, finger nails, toe nails, toes. I wouldn't be surprised if I found myself chewing my own head by the end of the week.
