Columbia SOA MFA Directing & Screenwriting - Fall 2024

[ZTimer]

I also got the waitlist for Writing For Film&TV. I just want to know if I accept the waitlist, does that mean that I must say yes if the final offer fortunately came? Or if I got waitlist off, could I still have a choice to say no?

 

[Interested Party]

Typically waitlists are non binding. Meaning if you get the call you can still turn it down.

I'm a longtime lurker and I'm curious -- what do your portals look like? Mine has yet to update and I'm incredibly nervous at the moment.

Waitlisted for Writing for Film and TV. So disappointed but hopeful. The interview was such a joy!

 

[radiogaga]

Waitlisted too. For Writing for Film&TV. Is it possible that somebody rejects their CMU offers? Don't know if we really have chance to get in

 

[Chris W]

Congrats everyone why was waitlisted. That in of itself is an achievement.

Don't forget to log or update your applications! It's very helpful to people.

No, but I haven’t had an interview so I’m just waiting on a rejection.

Also haven’t heard anything. I’m still hopeful but also mentally preparing myself for rejection lol

 

[JWHP2024]

Not today. I interviewed with Trey Ellis and Elizabeth Kling

Me too.

 

[jimothy]

I also interviewed with Trey and Elizabeth…has anyone who interviewed with them heard back yet?

 

[Ikaris]

I'm finding waiting especially excruciating knowing others have heard back already. I wish it was like undergrad -- all of us (or at least most) knew when we'd hear back. Good luck to everyone else waiting! I suspect we will know by Friday!

No, but I haven’t had an interview so I’m just waiting on a rejection.

Same idk why I’m even anxiously waiting for the result when I already know it lol. But idk I guess it’s still nice to know for sure, we all put a lot of work into these apps.

Shoutout to the gang remaining here anxiously refreshing this thread and their emails throughout the day

Just wanna say that having this lil community and knowing that we weren't alone all through the process, notifications, waits, and decisions was so comforting for me. You're all brave af for going after your dreams, and even after this week ends, whatever the results - you won't be alone then either! The journey continues!!

Thank you and best of luck! I really needed to hear this. We got this! Not that this indicates much, but I got into an Ivy undergrad without an interview. I'm just saying, there's hope for those who didn't receive interviews! Until we're rejected, the possibility remains. Head high until then.

Do you think today will be the last business day to give an offer call by Columbia screenwriting & directing?

I interviewed with them and haven’t heard back either. I just wish someone would just rip the bandaid so I can move on. This is exhausting.

Can't agree more. I'm so anxious.

It’s really hard to focus on anything else…

Has anyone who interviewed with Eric and Dan heard back?
