Hi everyone! Screenwriting/directing, here. I just got the good news from Eric! It's a toss up between USC and Columbia now, but I'm fairly certain I'll be headed to USC so for those of you on the waitlist, my spot will most likely be opening up. Congratulations to everyone who've gotten in!

Congrats guys! Nothing here yet. I live in California, so just woke up to the news.

Hello everyone! This would be my first post after months of just viewing. I share in the plight of those who wait unfortunately. I've been interviewed as well and I'm awaiting a decision. Oh and congratulations to everyone who got accepted!

(Any accepted international Dir/Scr applicants here? How were you informed?)

 

[Nalcsart]

Hi! I´m international. They called

It's awful quiet in here... haha.

Same here...

Has anyone on the west coast been called at all? I'm assuming they would call international folks first, since they have a lot more hurdles to jump through in regards to making a decision. Followed by east coast, since it's later in the day for them. And finally west coast. Just being optimistic here...

I was thinking (hoping) the same thing as well.

Keep your head up, guys!

Some stats for relief:

• Past threads have indicated that calls go on for at least a week.
• Students who have visited these threads again have said that roughly 30% of their classmates are from the waitlist.

East coast (US) here. Eric called (but he hadn't interviewed me)

Hey everyone! First time poster, long time lurker!
I got a missed call last night at midnight in Australia which is 9am NY time. Anyone know what the number was that Eric called from? I've tried calling the number back but it's not working.

The number does not show. It came as "Unknown" for me.

Also, I wonder if alphabet plays any factor? I'm near the bottom of the alphabet (last name "W"), but I might just be looking for reasons to not have gotten a call yet.

My last name starts with an "N" if that might mean anything. I'm in the Philippines so the time here is pretty much a 12-hour difference from NY. I actually have no idea how they could call me all the way here though... (Maybe I'd find out through email.)
