hey guys! just had an interview with hilary and alan today, i thought it went good but i'm not getting my hopes up as competition seems incredibly stiff this year! anyone else here interviewed with them?

i asked a student there if he knew when we would know the results and he said late april :O thats SO late!!! they've just got a week of interviews left next week and then after that they're getting together to discuss I think. ahhhh, so nervewracking.

OOPS forgot to add, i applied for directing/writing!

 

[Prime(Tim)e]

Well I got my orders: Looks like I'm heading to Cali USC it is...

Got the dreaded email, Columbia says no!

Maybe I shouldn't have told them USC interviewed me during the interview haha...

Good luck to everyone at Columbia, great program...

Maybe I can pick between LIU and USC hahaha tough decision lol

 

[kincid]

@primetime - were you put on the waiting list?
huge good luck to you at usc anyways! amazing school + amazing weather

I was just notified I have been put on the waiting list :/ and except for NFTS, columbia is the only school I've even bothered applying to...

 

[kincid]

anyone else heard anything?

 

[Prime(Tim)e]

nope not even waiting list haha. I mean I kind of knew I was going to USC anyway but I at least wanted to get in and have some kind of decision to make. But oh well...

 

[kincid]

yeah, next year I'm def applying to more than one school.

was your email signed by David Beeman as well?

 

[Prime(Tim)e]

Not even sure but I had to login to see it and I knew it wasn't good...

 

[kincid]

hahaha I know, thats what I felt too

 

[sudarshansuresh]

Sorry to hear that Prime(Time)e. You can now concentrate exclusively on being over the moon about USC. And congratulations kincid (the wait-list will hopefully work out for you). Were you guys directing/ screenwriting applicants? Sorry if you've already mentioned a hundred times before, i'm just finding it hard to keep track.

 

[sudarshansuresh]

Never mind, I just went through the previous posts and got my answer!

@nellie: Late April is crazy late. I may forget why I want to go to film school by then.

Have any directing/ writing applicants heard back from Columbia?

 

[ath579]

I'm a directing/screenwriting applicant who still has an interview on Monday the 18th...

 

[Prime(Tim)e]

Thanks sudarshansuresh, USC was my 1st choice but would've been nice to think about Columbia. Hey at least I got an interview.

Creative Producing btw...

 

[kincid]

@sudarshansuresh - thank you, and yes, Im a CP applicant

 

[derly]

It is hard to keep up...

How many CP acceptances in this forum?
i can see me and freddy.. was there anyone else?
Im just trying to see a percentage

@kincid good luck on the wait list I read this article of a girl two years ago she got wait listed in Columbia and she decided to do a crazy thing. She went straight to their offices again without an invitation and and she was lucky enough to be heard. She made a case for herself and two days later she got the wait list status reverted and accepted Maybe you should go crazy

 

[LucyPcoket]

Hey I got in as well and I'm also a Creative Producing Applicant

 

[derly]

Congrats!! Are you planning on attending?

Ok. so that makes 3

 

[s.aldani]

Congratulations to all the CP applicants who've been accepted!

@derly, have you worked out the percentage? Would be interesting to know. Also, if I get wait listed I am absolutely going to go crazy, seeing as Columbia is the only place I have applied to!

I doubt the directing/screenwriting lot will hear until next week when interviews are over... I really don't want to wait until late April, i'll lose my mind! Also, none of the past years have had to wait that long and I've pretty much been through every forum on Columbia!

Meh. x

 

[derly]

Hey keep calm! you you'll get it!

Late april sounds very dreadful a time to wait. Maybe it is because they are interviewing more people than usual. That could be good. Maybe this year the percentage of acceptance will rise for writer/directors

I found the article about the girl waitlisted
