Guys, I just want to say congrats to everyone who applied to any grad school. It's not easy and we can only hope the sleepless nights are worth it. We're taking a huge 100k+ gamble going to grad school, so to all of us that will be in California, let's make sure we support each other. This site (kudos to Chris W.) has been a godsend to relieving my anxiety on the next stage in life and I hope we can continue that same support well into our MFA's.

You can now create a private social group right here on FilmSchool.org if you want to avoid Facebook and keep it private... it's actually a really cool feature we added today:

Student Clubs

Made us a Chapman 2018 group! It's set to private so we can speak freely and share personal information. I think you'll all have to request to join but I can add you and make everyone a moderator.

Congratulations on everyone who got in, I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time at Chapman! I know someone whose daughter went there (not for film) and she absolutely loved it apparently
I just received my rejection letter so I guess they are starting to send those out now (I don't mind at all since I was accepted at my first choice university, just wanted to give an update in case anyone else hasn't heard back yet!).
Maybe I'll see some of you out in California anyway

Are you going to Stark?! Congrats! That is bar none the hardest film program to be admitted to, at least for producing. You'll have to visit us in Orange some time

sorry to ask you again... but have you hear back from them now? I check my email every day... nothing

Hey, I got accepted into the Film and TV Producing Program two days ago. Good luck to you!

Hey, guys. Has anyone heard or seen the plans for Chapman's Filmmakers Village? I saw some concept art online but it's from 2011. I was wondering if this is a plan Chapman still has for the school. Does anyone know?

See if this one works. Try Googling it, too. It has several hits.

Unfortunately it looks like the project was canceled due to chemicals found underneath the building. They've said they'll consider revisiting the project again in a few years (this was from 2014).

I'll also add, there are no articles from 2017 or 2018 that have mentioned any further development on the project, so if it is planned, it appears it won't be any time soon.

Interesting. They definitely didn't build it, but their newest building opened in 2016 and houses the undergrad animation program and some really high end computer facilities so if I had to guess, a lot of that money went into that classroom building instead of dorms. Personally, I think it's a better use of the money, but they could certainly benefit from creating some film specific housing. Probably a nightmare in terms of red tape and logistics with the city though.

Wow! Interesting, but also not surprising considering it was an industrial site. We see issues with chemical disclosures halting development in metro Detroit frequently. On the campus I work at, there's an entire building that's an old dorm which is full of asbestos that they don't want to pay to abate so it sits, vacant and locked up until they finally spend the money to do something about cleaning it up. They have been skipping over than in favor of developing new buildings on the property instead because it's less expensive.

I'm sure I'll run into some of you in Fall 2019. Unfortunately my money situation is no good and I won't have enough to hold myself off until student loans come in. But at least they let me defer a year. So now I don't have to worry or have a near heart attack waiting for an acceptance next year.

Ahhhh, man are you sure? They offered me 75k in loans per year which covers cost of attendance. I calculated having at least 10k left over for personal stuff as well if you don’t mind the loans.
