Chapman Fall 2010

[cinespur]

I got in without an interview. I think it may depend on what discipline you're applying to.

 

[New2you]

I applied for screenwriting, how about you Cinespur?

 

[Mike_V]

Interviews are mostly for directors and producers I believe. I got in without an interview much like all the other editors and cinematographers.

 

[cinespur]

Cinematography. I don't know about screenwriters. Unless you've gotten a "no", then keep your head up since technically you could submit an application tomorrow and still be eligible. I know how much waiting sucks, esp. because I applied to only one other school, got rejected (I expected it), and have been waiting on Chapman for awhile.

 

[LadyTee]

I got a call from Chapman today. I applied to the producing program and I have an interview next week. So I guess some disciplines do require an interview.

 

[MJS11]

Sent in my stuff today. With some good karma from me and the postal service man.

Thanks everyone for the support in this thread! Hope we'll all hear some positive news soon. Anyone else applied for the regular deadline, or is it just priority peepz here?

 

[DJ]

I interviewed on Monday for producing. Just waiting for that response on webadvisor...

 

[VT_Film]

I got the regular deadline too, MSJ11. You're not alone.

 

[Johnny206]

For all those who have interviewed for Producing or Directing, whom were you interviewed by and what was said by them after the interview was completed "We will be in touch?"

 

[drenchedry]

do we get the web advisor id once they received our material, how does this work?

@Johnny

As far as I know, I'm the only person on this board who was called about directing and it wasn't an interview, Andrew Lane just called to say he liked my application and wanted to know if I had any plans to come down to check out Chapman. So, I've made plans to go visit, and will meet with him there after taking a tour and sitting in on some classes. So, in all probability, they haven't accepted any directing applicants yet. And my web advisor hasn't changed either. Since there are only 14 slots for directors, you'll probably get a call before you know anything.

 

[drenchedry]

regular deadline here too.

 

[Ananthak1412]

Once you finish your online application and submit... you get the acknowledgment along with a PIN and username for webadvisor. Incase u dont, just call them up and they will take you thru setting up a webadvisor account.

Hope that helped.

cheers

Continuing @johnny
And what did they ask?

 

[Johnny206]

I was interviewed, I know they have accepted 2 so far to Directing

 

[Johnny206]

Why would you wait for the regular deadline, doesnt make sense to me?

 

[MJS11]

Johnny, I did the regular deadline because I didn't have time to complete my application before Feb 1st. I work a full time job so it's hard to find time to work on apps. That's also why I only applied to two schools this year. If I had chosen to do it before Feb 1st, I wouldn't have been very confident in what I sent in, whereas I feel pretty good about it now.

Otoh, it does kind of suck that this is also the year that half the world decided to apply to film school, so they already got a lot more applicants for the priority deadline. Anyway, I hope (and believe) they'll still evaluate the regular deadline applications with the same eye.

 

[Johnny206]

I was just curious

 

[DJ]

I interviewed with Alex Rose. I toured the campus in December and met her then, and then just interviewed on Monday. To me, it didn't feel like a formal interview, just that they want to see that you are who your application says you are.

 

[MJS11]

I thought for sure that said Axel Rose. I'm like OMG CHAPMAN HAS AXEL ROSE!
