I don't get it, why don't they just mail the rejection letters? I don't like the feeling of false hope.

@samagana I agree with you... I feel that for those who didn't receive an interview like me, they should just send us a reject first if it is determined that no interview means no admission. Have you been interviewed? What are you applying? I applied for creative producing.

 

[samagana]

@flowerkid I applied for screenwriting/direction. They never interviewed me. It was my first attempt.I really wanted to study at Columbia.

There is always a next time... provided the finances are there to support such optimism...

 

[Pebble]

grrrrrrrrrr. Think theyll count the weekend as "the week"?

 

[samagana]

@pebble Isnt it the Easter weekend this week? Do universities in US function on Easter weekends?

 

[Pebble]

Good point! School offices don't operate on the weekends here anyways Hahhahaha. I'm more poking fun @them given people got calls 2-3 weeks ago. Would like my decision so I can move onnnnnnn!!!!!!!!

 

[samagana]

@pebble I assume it means that they will mail the rejections next week?

I find it oddly amusing that I am waiting for a letter of rejection. I need to move on and find me a job

As it was expected, I was rejected. I received the notification today. If you ask me, almost 2 months too late.
Anyway, I will try again next year. For those who were accepted, I would really like to know tips for what you think makes a successful application. Any advise for your own experience will be greatly appreciated.
I was a writer/director applicant.
Cheers,
JF

I was also rejected, jufebato. I was expecting it pretty soon since I didn't have an interview.

Congrats to all who were accepted! And to the others, keep striving!!

The journey continues...

 

[FilmForest]

Those who received rejection notices, were they sent via email?

Any creative producers get waitlisted or rejected yet?

 

[FilmClassicGirl]

Yes. I got an e-mail.

 

[DRaGZ]

Directing/Screenwriting here, I've been put on the waiting list.

Just wanted to throw that out there.

 

[aNDy2011]

Hey Jufebato, I was admitted into the CP program, but i will try to give you some advice... From my experience, I think the most important part of the application was being yourself and staying consistent with the image you are attempting to paint. For example, I wrote my autobiographical essay in a series of flashbacks, which read as a self loathing piece, rather than a snobbish, pretentious essay, which I am sure they get often. Pretty much, I did not try impress Columbia, but instead, show them the real me. I hope this helps!

 

[aNDy2011]

I haven't received anything. Should I expect a rejection letter?

 

[mike8163]

Andy2011 - did you interview?

 

[aNDy2011]

Yes.

 

[apocalypticus]

This is just ridiculous. I've been waiting and waiting for a rejection letter for ages. I did not get interviewed. What is the departments problem in sending that out across. Sheesh

 

[aNDy2011]

I think I gett it. We all will get them within this week at the same time; that is how the mailing list system works.

 

[childintime]

Hey, aNDy2011, don't give up hope since you've been interviewed. You are probably waitlisted.
If you are worried, maybe you can call them.
