Chapman Fall 2011

[pairodocks]

@kris
i read on the "Accepted Chapman..." thread that you were not sure you were going to Chapman.

Just curious. Why did you send a deposit if you are not sure?

 

[pairodocks]

@super8
What number did you call? I have called and no one ever answers - just leaving voice mails and receiving no response.

This week is spring break. try next week guys.

I didn't want to lose my spot, and of the schools at which I was accepted Chapman was my top choice. Either I go to Chapman or don't do an MFA this fall. But I'm not sure yet.

@Kris
Are you coming from undergrad?

Kris, why worry when you got into Chapman when it's your top choice? You're in. nothing to be worried about.

@pairodocks
Yes I'm coming from undergrad. Any particular reason you ask?

@Mike_V
I'm not worried, just a little concerned that I've had no communication from them except for getting my letter. Plus, I waited more than 10 days from when I received it to send the form back (I'd asked for an extension well in advance but received no response). So they can legally revoke my acceptance. I just hope they don't.

 

[Mike_V]

fair enough.
well, check webadvisor or give them a call to double check. tommorrow or next week (although this week is spring break and I dont see any of the offices really making any effort to work so you're better off next week i think lol)

@pairodocks

Thanks for the advice I'll just try and be patient.

As far as the second choice goes, its the MFA in Creative Producing at Columbia College Chicago.

I was finally able to get a hold of Gianne yesterday and all she could tell me was that while some decisions have been made, not all of them have been yet, so if your webadvisor says "decision pending" you're still in the running. She then told me to call Alex to try and get a better idea of the decision time line but all I got was voice mail.

So there's still hope, the wait is just painful.

That's good to hear gordino, thanks for update. My WebAdvisor account says "decision pending" as well but I'm curious as to whether or not anyone has gotten a rejection letter yet? That would be the only way to tell if decision pending means anything positive or if its just a category for everybody regardless of being in the running or not.

Decision Pending is what WebAdvisor says for anyone who hasn't had a decision made for them yet. Mine changed from Decision Pending to Admission Accepted. I think it will either change to that or Admission Rejected, or at least that's what I've heard. I know it's hard, but try to be patient and try to keep yourself busy. I remember I was checking like three times a day until my status changed, but that just made me more anxious.

I just got a call for an interview with Alex for the MFA in Prodcution! I wrote off Chapman since it has been so long and I hadn't heard anything; now I might actually have a shot! I'm trying to manage my expectations, but still, this is a good sign.

 

[Max Keller]

I just got an e-mail from Alex Rose to set up an interview! Couldn't be more excited about the prospect of going to Chapman.

 

[Aladdin]

@RJDee and Max Keller: congrats! I hope everything works out for you guys. What programs did you both apply to?

Gordino, any luck getting in touch with anyone? Nothing on my end.

 

[Gordino]

Aladdin,

I wasn't able to get a hold of Alex Rose at all by phone so I e-mailed Professor Badham and asked him. He said he sent an e-mail to her asking that she try and get to my application soon. Other than that...nothing. I know people heard all the way through June but this is getting crazy, I've had my app in since January.

Webadvisor says "decision mailed"...sweaty palms and pounding heart until it arrives. I applied for cinematography.

 

[Max Keller]

Aladdin, I applied for the producing program. I'm meeting with her at 12:30 on Monday. She said it would last until 2:30, so I'm assuming that there's going to be a tour of the facilities in addition to the interview (I've yet to see the school in person).
