Columbia University - MFA - Fall 2018

Has anyone received an interview request yet? Happy New Year!
Not yet. But I'm about to withdraw my application from consideration. There's no way in hell I can afford to move from Vegas to NYC. I still haven't found work here to save up. I'm also not willing to pay $400 a month for a parking spot for my car. I'm still making payments on it so selling it is a no go.

according to the last year's spreadsheet, Screenwriting/Directing applicants selected for the interview get notifications in mid-February. So fingers crossed
 
I got notified for an interview for Columbia University screenwriting/directing on 2/13 last year. Didn't get off the wait list post-interview so this is my round two. Fingers crossed for everyone this year!
good luck!

I'm a car owner from New York and it's way more affordable and possible than you may have researched estimates for, especially up by Columbia. Also, once you get here there are a ton of ways to make money to scaffold your daytime obligations/school/dreams... if the hustle is strong within you. If you're gonna withdraw because you're no longer interested don't let me stop you, but if it's really for affordability you should stay in the pool to see how you fare. I think it's a better look overall. Good luck.

I just got an email to schedule an interview for Producing. And my interest is strong. It's just the money issue for me that's the problem. Can you PM me so we can talk more about the income issue?

There’s always money...always. Try looking for grants
 
Those who got an interview make sure you email the people they listed ...ask them questions! They are very helpful!!
