Anyone still not waiting for an interview request email? Can we expect more coming out? Also has the status page on the application portal changed since submission for anyone?

It will show the interview notification once you select the 2025 application.
Also I wouldn't dishearten myself just yet. They are still sending out notifications.
Hang in there!
 
Okay so is everyone’s interview in march? Cause it seems kind of far out considering decisions come out a week or two later. Like it starting to feel more like a formality than anything. I might be wrong though lol 😭

Okay cool. I think for the writing/directing track there’s some spots in feb but not for writing for tv and film. At least that’s what I noticed.

My schedule only had Mondays avail. I took the last Feb slot at least what was provided to me. I guess it depends on the schedule of who read/watched your work?
