Columbia University MFA Fall 2016

[kr579]

Facebook just reminded me that March 29th 2013 I was waitlisted... thanks Facebook for reminding me! By the way, the silence on this CU message board lately is deafening. Any news from this week?

 

[MilaSkywalker]

I'm still waiting. This is painful

 

[DPark]

Did anyone find that the message box(for interview invitation, in purple) was disappeared in the application...? I logged in in this morning and then I found it disappeared. I'm wondering if it is just for me or for everyone.

 

[Mister K]

Same here. I guess...
ITS TIME!

 

[DPark]

Cool. I just wanna know the result as soon as possible regardless I'm accepted or not. That's all for me. lol

 

[tutenkhamen]

People, hang in there! I'm sure good news is still on its way! BREEEEATHE.

Also, can we potential Columbians start a Facebook group or something?

 

[DPark]

There are a lot of groups of Columbia MFA Film in the Facebook. You guys who got accepted can generate a new group for the class of 2016.

Be there first, and I hope I could join in.

Hey guys! I just found out that the message about being selected for the interview has disappeared from my application. Who else has noticed this in his/her application? I guess this mean that my application status soon will be changed, but who knows :/
P.s. Congrats @abe slaney !

It is a great idea! lets create a fb group Columbia Film 2016..Btw Did you choose Columbia over chapman? if Yes why?

 

[Mister K]

UPDATE: Just got a waitlist e-mail. Sigh.... At least now I know.
Can't help but feel a little gutted, now it depends on plain luck.

Hey everyone, I just got notified that I'm on the waitlist. That means things are starting to go out!

I'll likely be removing myself from the waitlist and attending UCLA, so that means anyone else on the waitlist, one less person to compete with! Good luck to everyone!

 

[sdotkdotn]

Just got the email to check my application. Not good news, pretty bummed about it.

Congrats to everyone that got in and best best best of luck to those still waiting to hear!

 

[Mister K]

Any International student thinking of not attending Columbia?

 

[Mister K]

@sdotkdotn did you make the waitlist?

 

[sdotkdotn]

@sdotkdotn did you make the waitlist?

Nope, unfortunately a straight rejection

I came out of the interview thinking it went so well. I've since second-guessed everything to death, but I'm surprised (and obviously quite disappointed) that my initial reaction was so far off-base.

Best of luck getting off of the waitlist! I read a post somewhere in this forum, perhaps you did too, that 30% of the class ends up coming in off of it. Fingers crossed for you!

Hi Everyone. I am from Azerbaijan, and honestly there is no film culture in this country, but I am pretty sure that I can tell beautiful stories. I have obtained BS in Engineering, and applied to several programs last year, all of them ended in failure.

Now I was waitlisted by Columbia.

BUT This is the only program I applied this year, and now probably my future depends on your hands, dear admitted students. So, those who aren't interested studying (SCR/DIR) at Columbia please decline asap. Appreciated in advance!

Thank you!

 

[DPark]

Got rejected as well. Feeling pretty disappointed but finally I'm free from that long, painful waiting.

Congrats to everyone that got accepted and best of luck to all of you. I think now it's time for me to go back to my country.

A quick question. Are the rejection email and waitlist email different...? Just curious~

 

[Mister K]

Another quick question, do waitllisted students get any financial packages (if they are admitted later on)? I was banking on some sort of financial aid as well. Just curious.

@sdotkdotn and @DPark tough luck to both of you. I know the feeling. I hope that you had other options. Columbia was my only one.

Thanks man, appreciate it! Luckily/fortunately, I do.
