@alanray @yisiling - What I did was added my chapman email to my Facebook profile. Cancelled my join request, and then tried to join again. Then they were able to accept me. Try that!
Okay will try! Thanks!
 
Are there any international students who plan to pay the enrollment deposit by Flywire? I'm waiting for their response to know if it is possible, I can't pay with a credit card.. the conversion currency and taxes would be crazy.
 
Hello! Long-time follower and first-time poster, here. I will be attending Chapman in the fall for the screenwriting MFA program and will be in need of a place to live. If anyone has any suggestions/advice on finding a place, or are in the same boat as me, please let me know!

In the same boat as you. Trying to figure out if I want to live alone or a roommate... Or if I want to be in Orange or nearby. Tough choice!
 
congrats! In addition to the profile that @Chris W mentioned, I have an AMA on the program. It's one of the most competitive programs to be admitted to - only 18 directors each year (that's less than AFI!) - and I couldn't be happier with my decision to attend. If you're looking for a supportive, collaborative, non-toxic competitive, grad experience, definitely come to Chapman.
Thank you!!!So happy to hear this
 
Anyone have any idea about when Chapman might send out financial aid packages?
 
Mine is currently available on my.chapman. But I think it takes a week or two after you submit your fafsa.

Hmmm. When did you get your admissions decision? I submitted my fafsa a long time ago lol.

I was accepted April 5th, and in my Chapman account it just says "Inquiry access denied" under the Aid Year Description.

My FAFSA was also submitted a long time ago–around when the application itself was due.

Ok i feel better lol. This is what mine says, too. I guess it’s probably just not available yet?
 
March 14... I think the financial aid came available a week or two after. On my.chapman it shows me the financial aid I can receive
Ah ok. Got it. I was admitted 4/5 so mine probably just isn’t ready yet. I was just curious lol. Thanks!

Yeah I imagine so.

I do feel like it's a little skeevy of them to send you the acceptance letter, ask for a $1,000 deposit, but not give you any financial aid information right away.
