Yes, definitely don’t worry! It’s very early. I wouldn’t worry till mid-March, tbh I was surprised to hear something so soon.
 
I haven't been getting any emails from Chapman...Not even like "spam" ones relating to other things.. should I be worried HAHAHA
Nope don’t worry yet. It’s really early. And I didn’t get any spam emails at all from them, so you haven’t missed any 😂 good luck! Fingers crossed for all of us!
 
Has anyone else had their interview yet? That was intense! Seems like it went well but I’m so glad it’s over lol
 
How was it intense?
Just having three people interview me at the same time. Plus on zoom it’s like so up close and personal and I was really nervous before it started. BUT! I really feel like it went well and it was conversational and not awkward. The questions weren’t hard and they were all really nice. Just being interviewed by 3 at once is a lot.

I am glad to hear it went well! Congrats! Just wondering when you received the interview invitation.
 
Thanks! It was Feb 4. They said decisions wouldn’t be till the end of March so I’m sure more interview invites will come out.
 
That's awesome, sounds like it went well! Would you be willing to share some of what you discussed and/or what faculty members you spoke with?
It was mostly just about my films/application materials and goals and they answered my questions. I had a lot. It was super casual and personal - not like an “interview” so much as a conversation. That’s why it’s a little harder to read! I got some great compliments on my storytelling though so even if I don’t get in, it’s encouraging feedback from film professors/industry professionals! They did say decisions will probably be end of March so I’m betting there is another round of interviews after this one. Don’t give up hope if you haven’t heard anything yet :)
