Columbia University - MFA - Fall 2018

I hope someone receives a call this afternoon. Waiting another week will be agonizing! But current students did say that we'd hear back this week right? It's still early in the day. Anything can happen!!

And yes, if 75 out of 125-150 interviewers are accepted, then I think many of us are in great shape for an acceptance! Try to stay positive. Watch your favorite films on a loop. Go for a walk!

That's what they said..but nobody here got a call so...maybe next week.
 
May I ask who are the interviewers this Thursday and Friday? Thanks
Were you given current students to email? They maybe able to answer the question for you as well.

Also for CP applicants, seems like we're not going to hear back today. :confused: I held out hope but it's nearing midnight.

Onward to Monday! Stay positive:D
 
Patrick Clement mentioned 125-150 applicants receive interviews for both tracks. He's a current student (I think he's graduating this year too)
That's my guess!

Wondering if any current students can/want to weigh in on decision notices...
Just so everyone knows, the film office is still open during Spring Break. Students are off, but staff and most of the faculty are still around :)

Everyone hang in and Good Luck!
I wont be on the group next week cause I'm shooting, but I'm thinking happy thoughts for everyone.

Patrick Clement saving the day! Good luck on your shoot!
 
hello CP applicants~ I just got a phone call from Jack. It’s good news! Guys, ready to wait for your ring bells!

Plus, I’m international. In China. I was sleeping just now and I told him that it’s morning (noon actually) in China haha. He had waited still noon to call me.

Good luck to everyone. This forum has helped me a lot. And if you have any questions just reply me. Thank you.
OMG CONGRATS!!! This is exciting. Congrats again!!
 
Now I'm starting to question whether they've been making calls these past three days but none of us who are on here got in? The stress is real.. :D

Nah lol. Don't put that into the universe! I'm sure they just started this morning. The Columbia applicants tend to do well from here. Maybe they were still deliberating and finally got settled last night? I'm hoping all of us hear good news!

To be fair, I just looked back at previous years and in 2015 people got calls on the weekend. So, I'm hoping! The wait needs to end! :D
