Columbia 2012 Applicants

[aNDy2011]

Hi, Childintime
Thanks for your message. I just called and they were not telling me. I don't see the point. I mean I can take the rejection pretty well. Anyway, I know why? BTW, are you high waitlisted or normal?

Good luck.

Hi,aNDy2011
Maybe they haven't decided all the waitlisters? Just a guess.

I know they have two different lists in the past years, but I'm not sure if they still have them this year. My letter doesn't say high waiting list though.

Hi Childintime
Best of luck. Good luck.

I received my rejection through email last Friday 4/6 as well. I am a CP applicant, I have expected it since late Feb while they started calling for interviews and I didn't receive any. However USC offered me admission back in late Feb, so luckily, it wasn't that much of a pain in the ass wait

Hi,aNDy2011
Best of luck to you too. Hope you get good news soon!

Just got an email from CU saying check this link for admission decision. Rejected. Interviewed for directing back in Feb. I'm off to NYU dramatic writing program down the street. Already made that decision before getting this email. Good luck everyone on your choices.

Just got a rejection mail. Finally. Couldn't move on because of that. Looks like FSU is the last hope for me. Keeping my fingers crossed.

For those who made it into Columbia, congratulations and all the very best.

I got my wait-list notification today for Directing. I am pretty surprised since I did not interview.

From my understanding it seems that Columbia is more focused on the Screenwriting part of filmmaking. Is this true?

@mike8163 I too recieved an email with the link to check my status: waitlisted. On it, there was a box to check if you want to stay on the waitlist or opt out. I am opting out as I was accepted to NYU and recieved a partial scholarship.

Best of luck to all those waiting to hear, congratulations to those who got in, and keep trying to those who didn't. It takes many people several attempts before they get in. Keep your heads up and keep trying!

I also got the email. Rejected.

I Left for a work trip before the first wave of emails were sent out last week, and just got back this morning where it seems like the second wave went out.

Anyone else feel emotionally strung out for waiting so long? I can't believe they accepted people a month ago!!!

 

[HI FILM]

hey @rockie2 Here is same. I am waitlisted as well. No interview. I will opt out because I was accepted to NYU with a partial scholarship. I'm not sure if you know NYU Tisch Film 2012 Facebook group. If you are not a member already, come and join us please. Good luck to all friends waiting to hear good news.

I got my rejection letter too. I must say theirs is the best rejection letter I have read till date, no frills or empty words.

Ah well onwards to 2013... @_@

 

[mjsoutha]

I found out today I was waitlisted. If there's anybody who got off the waitlist last year, can you tell me when you found out and if you have any idea how many people get on it/are accepted off of it?

 

[aNDy2011]

Strangely, I am still waiting for the letter whether it is a good or bad news.

 

[FilmForest]

@aNDy2011 I haven't heard anything yet either... I interviewed for producing.

 

[aNDy2011]

My guess is that we both are accepted.

 

[Pebble]

Can't believe you both haven't heard! My hunch is you'll get admitted really soon. I'm sure the class has some spots open from people turning down their offers. Good luck to you both!

 

[FilmForest]

Thanks Pebble.

My theory is that we are on a high waitlist and if (or when )there are open spots after the deadline, we'll get the acceptance call next week.

 

[aNDy2011]

Thanks Pebble. Good luck to you as well.

 

[Pebble]

Thanks
stick in there you two and do let us know when you get in and how you like Columbia when you get there!

Same goes for everyone else! I know those of us planning to reapply would love to hear your thoughts on this program or nyu next fall!
