Columbia 2012 Applicants (3 Viewers)

[Coinsquolino]

Hey @eva99, so I'm not the only one

Do you think we still have some hope? I see that people from other concentrations have started receiving invitations as well, and if it is true that Creative Producers are notified before everyone else I'm starting to get a little worried.

 

[eva99]

Yeah I'm worried too. But right now there seem to be nothing we can do except waiting right? What other schools have you applied to?

 

[Coinsquolino]

USC, NYU and UCLA. Still no news from any of them. If I got into USC I'll get a call next wednesday, otherwise I'm out.

Did you apply to other schools as well?

 

[eva99]

USC, NYU as well

I've only heard from USC that I was missing my transcript last Monday, sent it in, don't know what's next. Nothing from NYU

What do you mean by next Wednesday? What did they say to you?

@eva99 Did you apply to the Stark Program, or the MFA F/TV Production Program? If you applied to Stark, decisions will be made by Wednesday Feb. 22.

Hey guys Im waiting for the Creative Producing program as well.. I was worried but then I thought of something.

1. Columbia doesnt interview absolutely everyone like NYU does.
2. Hurt as it most, not everyone does well in interviews.
3. Places are gonna be open in two ways probably after people fail in interviews and secondly when people turn down Columbia and others get the chance.

If anything else Im hoping to have gotten in already or be waitlisted. Either will be perfect.

 

[eva99]

@moonfullofstars I see, I applied to MFA Production. WOW, good luck to all Stark people first then!

 

[eva99]

@derly great thoughts to calm us down a little at the moment. I think they are very possible and logical. And each school definitely has different procedures in deciding who to accept and who to waitlist.

I'm in the same boat! Waitlisted last year, but not even an interview in 2012. Funny, because I felt like my application this year was 10x stronger. Maybe the applicant pool is more competitive this year? Who knows...hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

I thought my application was a lot stronger too! Ho hum. I'm really hoping we're the last batch of applicants that needs to be contacted. In any case, I'm glad I'm not alone in this awkward situation.

Wishing the best of luck to us all... I'm going to talk to some food about this.

So, will there be several rounds of interviews?

 

[HI FILM]

Same. Waitlisted last year but no interview this year. And i also thought it is stronger this year. ? think they didnt finish calling

 

[apocalypticus]

OK, I am so eager to get an a reply from Columbia atleast. I mean, I know for a fact that my application was strong enough to atleast get me into an interview. Looks like I was wrong

Oh well. Maybe another shimmer of hope may sprout from somewhere.

 

[eva99]

It could be somewhat a good news to some of MFA Creative Producing people like myself - I asked if all of the MFA CP interview invitations have been sent out already, and they just replied me 30mins ago saying no they are still in process

 

[calispice]

Waiting here as well. Directing applicant.

Trying my best to stay positive.

 

[HI FILM]

I emailed to Jake at Columbia. He said they haven't finished calling for interview.

 

[FilmClassicGirl]

It's GREAT to know they're still interviewing.

 

[calispice]

Thank you for the update Hi Film. Good to hear.

I'm going to my in-person Columbia interview for Creative Producing on the 5th. Anyone else? I'm also International. It's great to feel part of a community on here!

 

[FilmForest]

@Dreamer - My in-person interview for Creative Producing is on the 5th as well!
