Chapman Fall 2011

[birdude]

I just checked WebAdvisor, and there is a change! It now says, as of today, "Decision Mailed." I wonder what that means, acceptance-wise.

Well, at least it changed. Still no joy, here. Anyone hear about directing?

Right on, man! Glad to hear that cinematography letters are finally going out. When did you apply?

Hey guys,

Thanks for the well wishes, and good luck to everyone else who applied. To answer a few of your questions (and I don't know how to quote multiple posts so I'm going in order):

Super8isgreat: the admissions FAQ says they accept between 15-20 people per discipline. My letter said I was one of a “very limited number” of accepted students, but went no further.

Birdude: I found out via a mailed letter, though in a previous post UCFfilmgirl said she was called by Alex Rose. Perhaps it varies by discipline.

Hokie08: I just checked and it said my decision had been mailed. However, I was never sent any email informing me of this. Thus, I did NOT expect to find a letter in my mailbox.

Hey everyone!
I've gotten into the MFA/MBA Producing program! Received the mail last week. I was wondering if there is a Facebook group set up for accepted students.
I'm excited!

Regarding fellowships - ASK! ASK! ASK!

I didn't ask about fellowships, even though I really could have used them as I'm just paying for this on my own with loans. I presumed that they would be handed out based on some kind of merit system. That your perceived talent or undergrad performance would be taken into account. It's not. They just hand them out to the people who ask. As someone who worked my ass off in undergrad, you can imagine this kind of annoyed me

But seriously, ask Alex about fellowships and you will likely get one. It may only be a few thousand a year, but anything helps.

 

[random]

ask for fellowship before the admission or after?

 

[super8isgreat]

@birdude: I applied for the priority too...January 30th to be exact. No change of my webadvisor status yet. The anticipation is killing me!

RE: sid3sg

Congrats! Did you interview with both schools first?

Thanks!

I actually never once asked for a fellowship and received one. I technically missed the priority deadline by a day as well, so I wasn't even eligible. I just assumed, at least in my case, that they specifically evaluated my interview, application materials, and undergrad transcript for me to be considered.

Hey Rob,

No, I only interviewed with the Business School. What's your status?

 

[chg706]

Can someone tell me where to log in to check my application status?

 

[Hokie08]

Did you receive a letter from Chapman's technology department a few days after your application acknowledgment? Use that information to setup and sign-in to your WebAdvisor account. If you didn't get the letter, I'd call the admissions department and ask them to send you another. I hope this helps!

Hey Sid3sg,

I got emailed for an interview with the business college then asked the business college to set up an interview with the film school for me. (I just wanted to make it worth while if I was going to fly out there.) I didn't interview with Alex Rose, but rather Barbara Doyle. I interviewed about a week ago.

I'm still waiting to hear. Hopefully we will be fellow classmates in the fall!

You are literally the first person I've talked to who got one without asking. Odd.

 

[DJ]

Well, for starters, I don't think most people actually even think to ask for a fellowship (like yourself) due to the predisposed inclination that most schools actually evaluate candidates on a case by case basis to assess his/her eligibility for financial assistance. Secondly, I just assumed I wasn't eligible since I didn't submit my application materials in time.

However, I can't really speak with much knowledge on the subject because I actually haven't talked with anyone about it. I only know from my own personal experience.

Got accepted into directing on March 31st. It was a tough decision, but I'll be declining. I hope it opens up a spot and a scholarship to one of you guys!

Check out this LA times article that came out today. Really exciting! Best of luck everybody!
