Columbia Screenwriting/Directing MFA 2023

I got a similar email when I asked if admissions decisions had gone out, and I was told that if you hadn’t received an interview request you would hear in about a week or so…so I don’t know if that’s what they meant. I think it’s doubtful nobody on this site got in. but I was also just told this:
Hi John,

All applicants will be notified of official admissions decisions this afternoon.

Thank you,
The Office of Admissions

Not me & I also interviewed w Blair & Adam which seems like no one has gotten in yet who interviewed w them… this has been such a tedious week.

Same thing here

 

[lucianavd]

[margotcat]

[Jzbruce]

Hi guys Did you apply for directing and writing or just writing?

 

[notaprincess]

anyone gotten an official no out there?

Yes my rejection was in my portal (I didn’t interview so I knew it was coming).

 

[margotcat]

Yes my rejection was in my portal (I didn’t interview so I knew it was coming).

that’s the portal called “application management” right?

 

[emmas]

I can’t find anyone on twitter or reddit who got in either! It blows my mind a bit

 

[jfjburns95]

Fuck. Even if I got off the waitlist It's so expensive without a scholarship. I mean with in-state tuition FSU is 10,000 a year.

UT Austin said in their rejection letter that they got a record number of applications this year. Maybe everyone is applying to be a screenwriter this year lmao. Just my luck.
