Wooo it's getting interesting. Hope the result will come out this week and good luck to us! Was that mentioned email from the admission office or your interviewer?

It was from dodge but had the link to email/ask questions from the woman I interviewed with.

Mine also looks different. No more checklists. Fingers crossed !!

 

[Arbyrnes]

Mine is different too. I think decisions are imminent.

application portal does not have the checklist for me anymore and requires me to fill out a supplement form (form for I-20) does this mean anything negative or positive or nothing? And how quickly do I need to submit this form?

 

[Noahm]

just googled this, it says its a form for admitted students so I assume a positive? Congrats if so!

So this form only shows up for international students? As in no need to worry if there’s no form if you’re a student in the US?

thats my understanding, I dont think this form applies to domestic students so I wouldn't worry.

It seems like the decisions have been made. I just wished they were released already

waitlisted

 

[Arbyrnes]

I got in! (still haven't received an email)

I posted this on another forum, but I think it's important to post here as well. For those who are waitlisted or denied know this: stick with it. Last year, I didn’t get a single interview. I worked hard and changed my process - and this year I got interviews at four schools and accepted to three (so far).

Got in!!!!! Rejected from everywhere with a sub 3 gpa I’m in literal shock. I’m sure some spots will open up if you were waitlisted! Keep hope alive no matter how hard. And you can always apply next year. I should’ve applied last year but put it off a year and was rejected from 2/3 top 5 schools and waiting to hear from LMU. Chapman took me while Texas, nyu, northwestern afi etc ghosted me. You can do it!

Hi everyone!
Got in (MFA in Film Production with Directing Emphasis)!!!
I wonder if they usually include funding info in the acceptance letter, or does it come later?
