Chapman Fall 2011

I know I posted this in the thread for those accepted, but I'll go ahead and post it again here in case there are any women looking for a roommate.

I'll be a third year director and I'm looking for a female roommate to take over a room in my place in August. I am willing to switch rooms if you would like a cheaper room. $725/mo for the normal sized room (I'll pay $825 for the bigger room), or we each pay $775/mo if you take the bigger room. Gas, electric, and internet in addition to that.

Both rooms have their own attached bathroom with shower. The condo is in the Orange hills. It's a 10 minute drive from school. It's a quiet, family-oriented suburban kind of place. No pesky apartment managers, no noisy neighbors. Three parking spaces for 2 occupants. A large neighborhood pool and hottub. I already have couches, a TV, PS3, surround sound, kitchen table, all utensils and kitchen items. You just provide stuff for your room. Best of all, the condo has its own washer/drier right next to the bedrooms! This is my favorite place I've ever lived. Contact me if you're interested.

Now, to those of you still waiting... yeah, unfortunately it's the kind of thing you'll have to get used to with the admin. They do rolling admissions and in our year people were still applying late and hearing back all summer. Sloppy but it's the way it is.
 
Today, Katie called me to ask the status of my acceptance and deposit. I told her I had no idea I'd been accepted, hahaha.

Shortly afterwards, Alex called to confirm that I had indeed been accepted! Interesting way in, but I'll take it.
 
Congrats rcross11!

I got the same call from Katie last night, asked if I had sent in my deposit. I was a little nervous about that as I had mailed it in way back on the 14th. She assured me they probably had it, the office was just a little behind.

Hope to see ya in the fall!
 
Yeah... sometimes things like that are going to happen with the admin. Gonna have to get used to that ;)

Welcome to Chapman!

So... I still haven't heard from Chapman and I've been accepted to other schools. Do I just wait to hear from Chapman before I start accepting/declining everyone else? They don't respond to my e-mails either. Any wisdom?
 
Hey Peebo,

Many of us have experienced the same frustration with Chapman's lack of communication and don't understand it; however try calling Gianne.

She works in the Film School Admissions. She can be reached at (714) 289-3590. If she does not answer. leave a message and say it is Urgent. Hope that helps. If she doesn't call you back, call again and say that it is the 2nd, 3rd, etc. message you have left. Eventually you should get a response from her.
 
It's been a long six months, but I was just informed that I was accepted into the Screenwriting MFA program this year!

Just to aid those applying next year, I applied early decision and I'm just finding out now. Hang in there if you find yourself in the same boat next year. It's still possible!
