Did you hear anything back yet? I haven't heard anything either.
I emailed the film school to ask the process, and they said we should be able to receive the notification on May 1st. I haven't heard anything back yet, too. And Chapman is my last hope. Good luck!
 
I found this on the Chapman webstie for tuition deadlines.

Do you think when we register we’re going to have to pay the tuition the same day?

I doubt it. Especially if you’re on financial aid. But usually schools know that financial aid isn’t disbursed right away so I’m sure they take that into account. I’d be surprised if they didn’t.

So we do, in fact, register ourselves? I emailed Dodge about this because I was confused as well.
 
Apparently you register for SW557 yourself and then the college enrolls you into the rest of the courses for Fall 2019. We'll know our actual schedule before orientation.

Also, there is a link to the student portal in the registration email from a few days ago. In the portal, you'll find all the instructions for how to register for each program. Since mine is Screenwriting, the instructions told me to register for SW557 and the college would enroll me in the rest. Hope that helps!

Yeah, I got that. I’m in a different program (TV Writing & Producing) and my letter said “you should register for these courses” but then I also saw something about meeting with a program advisor first. So i just wasn’t sure. I was able to register for all the classes on my list, though. So I guess I did it right lol.
 
Do we have a housing thread going? And does anyone know what Orange is like?
Orange is a really nice town. Pretty safe place, lots of pretty areas and good restaurants. Basically anywhere in California is pricy compared to most other states but Orange area will be a lot cheaper and nicer than say LA. Lots of freeways out here to get wherever you need to go easy, but traffic is super ass.
 
Hey guys, I'm admitted in the 2019 directing MFA program and I'm here to discuss with you about one thing really important to me. Honestly, I have a strong preference to indie films or art films and I'm quite sure that's what I want to focus on in the future. I've heard Chapman has the best equipment and countless chances to improve its students practical experiences. But I'm a little bit worried about the teaching style is so commercial that I cannot adapt to it. What do you think? Is here anyone having the same concern with me?
