Columbia University MFA 2015 (Official Thread) (1 Viewer)

I just sent in my acceptance to UCLA, so that waitlist pool got smaller. Good luck everyone! :)
 
anyone on (dr/sr)waitlist hear angthing.
 
Hello,

This forum has helped me a lot. I wouldn't have been able to succeed and survive the application process without the incredible support I've received from everyone. The information shared in this platform has helped me prepare my application and gain more confidence during the interview. I would be very happy to share my experience with future students. This is my email: nagham.o@gmail.com. Feel free to ask me any questions about the process.

I got accepted to NYU's Graduate Film program and wait listed at Columbia film school. I hope I can be of help in the future to others.

Wishing you the best.

All the best,
Nagham
 
Recieved letter from eric,after these long waiting days,I might be the latest to off the waitlist.just want to say sometimes hope do come true.
 
Hi All,
I'm very excited to have submitted my application for the MFA program in screenwriting/directing!!!! However, I am not excited about the wait lol. With that said, does anyone know when the university sends out the invitations to perspective students for the interview process?

Welcome to the community, Adam!

I think, judging from previous years threads (and there's a ton of info buried in them - I should really organize it one day) I think it's around January or February.

Also - this is the thread for last year's applicants - (although if you read this whole thread there's probably a ton of good info)

The current application year thread is here:

If you have any questions please let me know.
 
I didn't get into Columbia from the waitlist. I was accepted to NYU's program and that was my 1st choice.
