After my interview, Maureen mentioned that they were going to have decisions by this week.

Playing a waiting game

Have decisions this week and then send them out next week? lol...idk ughh

 

[ash_ketchum]

Yeah my interview disappeared as well. Also, based on last year, I thought that the notification would come out mid march, so this for sure heightened the anxiety. Did you ask them and they said this week?

Yeah that's what I thought.

 

[redroom29]

Yeah that's what I thought.

Again, didn't mean to cause any nerves! Just thought I should mention that's what Maureen mentioned. But, history points to mid-March.

You could be right because they sent out the interview invites a week early so...

Do you guys know who are the people conducting the interviews for Screenwriting/Directing applicants?

You'll get an email a few days before telling you who will interview you!

What Ash said, but if you were given the current students to email, they may know who will conduct your interview. Good luck!

 

[Bruno]

Thanks guys! My interview is on Sunday so hopefully I'll be getting an email tomorrow.

So, I scheduled my interview back in February and received a confirmation email for it immediately. I logged into my application today and it's still allowing me to select an interview slot. Basically, this message:

"Congratulations! You have been selected to interview for admission to the Film MFA Program. Interviews can be conducted in person, via Skype or by telephone. Please click here to schedule your interview."

Is this a glitch? Wondering if anyone with their interview scheduled in the coming weeks could check if this is still the message popping up for them.

 

[redroom29]

Felt bad for getting us all worked up so I emailed the admissions department. Here's the word on CP decision notifications...

 

[ash_ketchum]

Welp prolly next week then...

 

[ash_ketchum]

anyone hear anything?

 

[redroom29]

anyone hear anything?

Nope. Maybe tomorrow? Hopefully by Friday.

 

[ash_ketchum]

Nope. Maybe tomorrow? Hopefully by Friday.

They are still conducting interviews for screenwriting/directing all the way until March 13th or 14th so unless they are doing rolling admissions... it might be a while before we hear back.
