omggg did you get an email too? also was the same person who called you also your interviewer?

Just the phone call. He said an official letter/email/etc will be coming. He also gave me my scholarship amount over the phone. And yes, he was one of my two interviewers!

I have yet to hear anything, no call or email

When will screenwriting and directing be notified? Maybe one week after creative producing or two?

Seems like the Directing/Screenwriting tracks will have to wait a bit longer

Check the applications in their profile... Creative Producing. (Click on their username will have a link to their logged applications)

The admitted students reception is in less than two weeks (at least for Writing, wasn't clear if it was for all disciplines) so I figure everyone will hear by then at least!

Ah that makes more sense. It’s kind of exhilarating waiting for a potential call I’m still heavily debating if taking on debt is worth it if I do get in. That being said, I still am dying to get in

Good luck!!! It seems like from years past SW&D calls come last -- my guess is sometime next week. And I feel similarly regarding the cost... but yes, very nice to have the decision in my hands!

Hi everyone! Got my phone call from Jack yesterday ( Creative Producing) Im still in denial, cant wait for the official letter. Has anyone received it yet?

 

[armaan2412]

I applied for Writing for Film and TV and haven't heard anything yet. Do they send out all decisions at once?

Wondering about this too! I wasn't interviewed by David.

 

[aliceleigh123]

Out of curiosity, was anyone interviewed by Trey Ellis and Tom Kaplin for Directing and Screenwriting?

 

[armaan2412]

I was interviewed by Blair Singer and Rafael Lessa. I think Blair is one of the co-chairs of the Writing for Film and TV program!

I was interviewed by them too, and haven’t heard anything back yet…

Just out of curiosity, does it matter whom you interviewed with? Was this a sort of indication of the chance of getting in?
