Chapman MFA in Television Writing and Producing Applicants 2022

[123321]

On Tuesday at about 1am I received waitlist notification via email. I’m kindof surprised because they didn’t interview me…

congrats ! I got waitlisted as well but for the directing program and I wasn't interviewed. I feel like Dodge only put a very small percentage of applicants on waitlist. They typically just either accept or decline. Fingers crossed for the best.

I wasn't invited to interview either but at noon on 03/15 I refreshed my portal and saw my application status was updated with my waitlist offer letter. I didn't receive an email notification email though, so I will probably have to verify with the school that the correct email is in their system.

And I really hope that there waitlist group is small for Producing lol

Last year I got waitlisted for producing and ultimately did not get in. I decided to reapply this year and I got in! Persistence pays off, don't give up guys!

Has anyone received their official letter from Dodge? Curious about scholarships. I got my email to set up the Chapman portal but no info on there.

I haven't gotten an official letter from Dodge but I got an email that said scholarships/fellowships notifications will be sent out within 2 days of acceptance letters

Hi all I got admitted into the Producing program and I am extremely conflicted because of the price tag. What are y’all’s thoughts on taking out massive loans for this? Worth it in the end? I love everything about the courses and facilities and such but it’s so daunting.

I got my official letter/packet in the mail today

Snail mail? What was in it?

Snail mail? What was in it?

it was the official letter, a magazine/booklet about their graduate programs, and an envelope if I wanted to send my deposit through the mail!

I'm pretty conflicted too, Chapman is the most expensive of the three schools I applied to and the only one that didn't offer any scholarship/fellowship. I was really excited about Chapman when I applied but I think the reality of the financial commitment has made me more excited about other programs.

I will be declining mine as well! I have decided to attend Columbia!

 

[BottleCityJay]

Also declined today, both of the other schools I applied to have lower tuition and offered me more scholarship money. Best of luck to everyone, can't wait to see the awesome movies and TV shows we make in the upcoming years!

 

[izzy74]

I have declined my acceptance as well. Very tough decision but it came down to location for me! I hope this helps people on the waitlist! Chapman is an incredible school and the TWP program is excellent! Whoever attends will have an incredible experience I'm sure
