Hi guys!

This is my second year applying to the Chapman Producing program and getting a waitlist again, feeling frustrated.

I want to ask how many of you have got waitlisted from Chapman? Especially for the producing program.

Have you been interviewed？I saw there are many waitlisted without an interview. Trying to figure it out what happened…

I had a friend who also got waitlisted by Chapman last year. He didn't hear anything back from the school until August and then found out there was no seat left for him. THATS HELL OF A LONG TIME TO WAIT. I guess to put all our hope on this waitlist thing is just not reliable. Luckily I was also interviewed by the Columbia program. Anxiously waiting.

Hi all, I just wanted to ask what your opinions are in sending a Letter of Continued Interest? I have not seen anyone really speak about this as a move that waitlisted applicants may take for Chapman film programs so I'm conflicted on whether to send one. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!

Hi guys I have been pulled off the waitlist for the Producing program today. Don't lose hope!

Congratulations! I'm still keeping holding onto hope that I hear good news!
Question - were you interviewed prior to being waitlisted or at all? I'm assuming those who were interviewed and waitlisted are looked at first.

Yes I had the interview. Last year I got waitlisted without interview and didn’t get in, so I think the interview is also an important factor when they look for candidates in the waitlist. But don’t lose hope if you didn’t get one, the situation is different every year.

Hi guys!
I got waitlisted for film production directing emphasis for transfer. I was very nervous and still think I did poorly during the interview with Dodge which I think was the reason I got put on the waitlist. The waiting process has been quite tough since I didn't have time to apply to NYU and CalArts so that leaves me to USC or Chapman as I'm still waiting to hear back from USC as well.
Anyway, I hope everyone gets into the school they dream of!!

 

[bennychen31]

Is there any transfer applicant already heard back or pull out from the waitlist yet?
