question, has the deadline for Chapman past yet? it says April 1 for regular decision, and what is the difference for regular and priority? can i still apply now with the equal chance of acceptance as those who went for priority one?

Final deadline to apply is April 1. Difference between Priority and Regular(final) is you'll only be considered for scholarships if you apply by the Priority deadline. Whether you apply for Priority or Regular will not change if you will get accepted or not -- you have an equal chance applying during either time.

What kind of film did you guys talk about for the favorite film essay?

Wrote about The Terminator, in part because I wrote one of my undergraduate theses (for sociology) on the franchise, so I was intimately familiar with it.

Just wondering if anyone has heard anything yet? I don't even know if we will until the deadline has passed (April 1st) and they have a chance to review more applications.

It is interesting, though, that their application is open so long. Once again, we find ourselves in the waiting game!

I got my application in less than two weeks before the final deadline, and not only am I attending chapman, I've got as big a fellowship as anyone I know of. So don't worry if you miss the priority deadline. Last year, anyway, it didn't seem to matter that much.

@useyourheadset-As you can see by the quote by NRT it is possible to apply late (regular deadline) and receive funding. I couldn't find it but I also ran across other post of students who applied late and received funding. Hope this helps some.

Thanks,

I wrote mine on "Pan's Labyrinth", I just love the film. It took me into another world watching it. THAT is the most important thing when you watch a film. Connection.

Cheers!

Slightly off topic, but with my rejection to NYU I am slightly in panic mode and thanks to Silverlenz letting us know in the CalArts thread that Chapman is still taking applications, I've decided to throw a hail mary pass of sorts.

Just a quick question for you all that have applied: is there anything you wish you would have done differently or advice you can give now that you've been through the whole thing and can look back with that knowledge? I'd appreciate anything and everything.

Thanks, all!

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that chapman still hasn't notified anyone. Last year there were several people notified by now. I'm guessing they are going to wait until after the final (april 1)deadline to notify people. But hey I could be totally wrong on this.

Haven't heard anything yet except for an email asking for my degree certificate again a week ago. Although I was told back in feb that "the department is hoping to start sending out the first round of acceptances in mid-March and students will be admitted on a rolling basis afterwards", guess we still have to wait for a while...

 

[JusTaNaPpLe]

does anyone know how the reputation for Chapman graduate film program is? cuz i know they have pretty good undergrad, but i could not find the ranking or comments on its graduate program. can anyone provide some info? i know it's kinda late for applying, but since the deadline isn't past, i am still thinking...

 

[apex]

@JusTaNaPpLe Yeah, I am not too sure. Chapman is the only one of the top schools (Columbia, NYU, USC, UCLA, FSU, AFI) that I didn't know prior to this forum.

And as psyched I am about this school, I really don't know a whole lot about it besides what's their website and what I have read here...

I wonder what its major achievements are? I scoured youtube for thesis films from Chapman and they seem to be on par, quality wise, as any of the other schools.

Anyone have any info?

Anyone hear of any notifications yet?

Hey,

Not to worry. You can mail the help desk at chapman about not receiving any Login info and they'll ask you to call or they'll call you whichever is convenient and give you the login info. (ID, username and temp password)

I received a mail immediately after i finished my online app but i got concerned after going thru these forums reading that everyone had gotten their IDs and passwords. But its ok, hte guys at the Help Dsek are awesome.

Cheers.

Hey Everyone,

I had received a letter from S Hoover a week back saying my Admission application is complete and had moved to next phase of review and has been forwarded to admission committee review. Did any body else receive this, is it a good sign.?

And,ive been followign upw ith them regularly , Ms Eva Yen Asst admissions directors replies to me promptly , i sent in my resume after i got this letter and she said thanks for that and she had attached it with my package , and i've been mailing everyone there!! .. this is my status.Anybidy else in line with me , or any other progress?

 

[dabbu]

hey,

I have a query guys, If i am calling Chapman Office to inquire abt my status or speak to the grad assistants, Which number should I be calling and who is the person or dept i shud ask for?

How is their gnly , are they willing to speak , i hear they are friendly.

Thanks,

 

[Mike_V]

first of all dabbu, please use full words. It's a little hard to read through when you cut down the words by half.
to answer your question, you should look up the contact info for the graduate office and then ask to be routed to the graduate admissions office. They'll gladly direct you there and you can probably ask about your status. I do suggest you check Webadvisor though. It's much more up to date and you'll know earlier.

 

[dabbu]

Hey Mike_V,


Thank you so much for the reply.I am so sorry about the cut words,not too used to writing in forums,so the chat language came in!.

Thank you for the info.

Cheers,

Hey dabbu:

You should definitely set up your webadvisor if you haven't done so already. It's fairly user friendly and best of all it readily supplies important information regarding application and decision status. Right now my webadvisor reads that my application is complete and that my admission decision is pending. It's a real stress reliever to know that I can check anytime I want to see whether or not I've been accepted.

I did speak with the admission's office once about a month ago and was told that WAY more applications were received this year verses last year. I'm sure this has to do with the economy and more people applying to school in general along with Chapman gaining more popularity. Therefore I think it's possible that we may have to wait longer for a decision than last year's applicants.

Hope this helps and best of luck to you!

Hey Dabbu,
I got that same letter, so I imagine that everyone gets one. I'm trying not to read too much into any signs this early into Chapman's review process. No point in making ourselves crazy with the details or getting our hopes up yet, you know? Good luck!

 

[useyourheadset]

admitted and accepted!

 

[brittak]

Congratulations, useyourheadset!

You're Screenwriting, right? Did you get real mail, email, or did you check your webadvisor?

 

[Rushmoreman]

Just got a call! They want me to come out and interview and see the place, but it sounded like an offer as long as I get out there soon.

Applied for Directing. Pretty excited! Good luck to everyone else
