i have heard that if you don't get an interview, don't count on acceptance or waitlist. congrats on usc though!

i live in bklyn and havent gotten letter yet but i feel like i'm gonna get it today. i'm guessing rejection letter.

sorry to everyone who got rejected. just remember that film school doesn't guaranteee you make great films. i'll probably post on here when i get mine. this has become my anxiety/waiting community...

Got my rejection today.... Glad to finally know. Now I just need to hear from Chapaman before I make my decision. Good luck to everyone else

Got a letter saying my financial aid info is ready, but I can't access it without a student ID number, which I don't have yet.

Anyone get an acceptance packet yet?

Rejected today. No surprise. Still waiting on AFI and Northwestern.

 

[Silverlenz]

Sorry to hear that Youthquake. I'm just so surprised that it took this long. Especially since their deadline was Dec 1st.

IP- I still haven't gotten my packet yet either, but I called in to the number they provided and was able to get my Student ID# from the guy who answered.

i called today and they said the packets went out last Friday. so, i'm thinking they should arrive sometime mid-week.

Does anyone think it's strange that still (it's april 6th) only a few people (maybe 10) have posted that they have been called and accepted to Columbia? Maybe they have still only called a few people? Maybe we have lurkers? Maybe something else? Anyone have any ideas? (I myself did get the acceptance call, I was just wondering about that)

 

[robot_m]

I'm still thinking that some people will receive acceptance notifications by mail only. So in the next few days, we could hear that some more people got in.

Hey guys,

My roommate, who replied to columbia but wasn't interviewed, received his rejection letter over the weekend.

I was interviewed and have not heard anything either way. Has anyone that was interviewed for directing rejected/accepted by mail yet?

 

[jojo]

EMDelMar- I dunno if this helps but I was accepted by phone and e-mail. Haven't got the package yet. But I have a feeling that Robert and Titus are right and more people will get accepted solely through mail. Good Luck

 

[EMDelMar]

Thanks, jojo.

Yeah with USC, people were accepted by different means at different times, so maybe that is the case.

 

[Impossible Protagonist]

Got my student packet today. It came in a flashy shiny foil envelope, like on "Chuck."

Yes, I watch Chuck, and I love it.

 

[robot_m]

Nice. Did it come via USPS?

Also, is the mail pretty slow in NYC?

 

[jojo]

The mail is deathly slow in nyc. I'm in nyc and I'm still waiting on my package....

 

[robot_m]

I got my package today in the mail.

 

[Laura_M]

I received mine this last Thursday.

Does anyone know if we get to pick our class times the first semester or if they're just assigned to us?

What are the first semester classes, anyway?

 

[Suzako]

while its always possible that things could change, my year were just assigned schedules in the fall.

 

[brendonb]

Just got my letter - high waitlist!

Yay.
