Columbia MFA Creative Producing 2017

[Tony Yang]

greta idea @HBG - thanks for setting that up

and welcome @sevenyjo and @Scott Gerlomes - congrats on accepting your offers. is it weird to anyone else that we'll be students again? i'm such a nerd, but i'm kinda dying to see a booklist....

How long has it been since you were in school? I just bought 8 or so filmmaking books off Amazon to read on my own and it'd be cool if there was overlap

Tony, I think I sent you a message on facebook. Hope it's you haha.

I'll DM @BGF for her name.

Nope it wasn't me haha. Look for the profile that has a golden retriever puppy yawning in it. I attended Michigan State. Hopefully that narrows it down

 

[HBG]

I might be missing the literature on this, but does anyone know when classes start (early September vs. mid-September)? And is there an orientation beforehand?

Working freelance production now so trying to squeeze in oneeee last gig

If I'm not mistaken it's early September with Orientation before.

According to their website, classes start on September 5th. Registration starts August 28th, but I'm not sure if that qualifies as our orientation.

Just sent you a friend request! I forgot that messages from non-friends on FB don't pop up as notifications.

Thanks!! I'll just assume things might start moving end of August (and enjoy the break if it's later haha).

I asked @Patrick Clement this question over the weekend. There is an orientation to be aware of before the classes begin. Don't have exact dates though.

Also work freelance so I'm trying to not take any jobs that go past August 20th....hopefully I'm leaving enough of a window for the CU orientation stuff.

Almost 6 years

And bought a new backpack yesterday...because my inner 9-year-old is going bananas and wants to know when we can start buying Lisa Frank folders....

 

[Patrick Clement]

What are the odds of someone getting off the wait list? Anybody in your class from the wait list? Do you know how many are on the list?

I am not sure exactly, but I know lots of people get in off the waitlist.

I thought I was stressed about Chapman's 20k/semester!

Welcome!

Hey, I have just accepted my offer and prepared to make the deposit (so weird they don't do it online). See you guys in fall!!!
I'm moving from LA to NYC, so now guess it's the time to sell my car and take metro ....

Welcome!

Have you guys all received your admission packages? I remember they said expecting the package in 2 weeks, but I still haven’t got mine yet. Wondering if it’s lost on the way…..

For those who have it now, how big is the package? and what’s in it?

I haven't gotten anything via physical mail, but if you check your application status on the Columbia website, it should have the Dean's Letter, Chair's Letter, a Getting Started PDF, Financial Aid Information, and Important Deadlines.

Update: Just called the admissions office and they will be sending a hard copy of everything I mentioned above on Monday.

Thanks!!! I've seen the letters online. Just wondering where is my admission package lol

 

[Cecil]

Hey guys! Have any of you received your admission packages? They were supposed to send them last week or that's what I thought...

 

[BGF]

I received mine this past Thursday-- and I'm in NY, so it didn't have far to travel. It's just a physical copy of what we've already gotten.

 

[Tony Yang]

I got mine yesterday and I'm in DC. It's probably just the ground mail taking time to reach everybody.

 

[Cecil]

I'm in Chile, so I guess it's a matter of time

Unrelated, but I was in Chile 2 years ago for travel! It was beautiful. Bulk of the trip I was in Argentina, but I went to the Patagonia, then went to Chile.
