Hello everyone, long time lurker here. Anyone else get interviewed by Bette and Shira?

 

[GMassi]

Hey guys, I got a call from Eric at 12:40EST, and I’m in!

I’m international and I had my interview with Eric & David on the 13th of March.

Looking forward to meeting you all if I can gather the funding

Good luck to all!

I was. Are you on the spreadsheet? Don't know if I see you on there.

Eric just called me! It looks like he is the one doing the calls even if he didn’t interview you.

Welcome! Maybe we should get an admitted students thread going?

Congratulations! May I ask if your status has been changed on the application portal?

The interview link is gone, but nothing indicates that i'm accepted on the website portal thing.

Congratulations to everyone who’s been accepted! I got a call from Erik this morning!
I was wondering, if he didn’t mention anything about a scholarship, does that mean I’m not getting a scholarship? Or will that information be emailed to me later?

He mentioned my scholarship when we talked over the phone, but perhaps it will come later in the letter that is coming?

Not getting a call today was so fucking brutal lol. I'll never forgive myself if I somehow botched the interview that badly.

Second time interviewing over here and I didn't get a call today. I realize it isn't over until it's over, but yeah, I get where you're coming from.

In the grander scheme of things, film for me is about the pursuit of my artistic expression, and I know that I'll continue to persevere no matter the results. You're going to be tested so often in this industry that you can't let rejection phase you. Keep your head up—and down too, focusing on the work, and if it's in your heart you'll continue to make good things.

so, no more calls after Saturday?

Hi all!!! Long time lurker here. Congrats to everyone who's gotten in so far!! It's been nice to see how supportive this community is!

I didn't get a call today. I've also been freaking out about the whole interview invitation thing still being up (I keep going back to past years and trying to solve the puzzle lol). Even if I don't get in, I plan on reapplying for next year (it'd probably be nice to take a gap year following undergrad anyway). Anyone who didn't get a call today, keep your head up! There are still two days left. I also like to think that regardless of acceptance or rejection, we will all continue to grow in our art.

i think the calls span 3 days, so 2 more to go!

Congrats! I wonder if these are the final notifications.

To everyone who got in -Are you able to view how much you are getting of Financial Aid in the portal they've provided? When I follow that link and add my Pin I just find general information, but nothing about how much Financial Aid I'm being offered

 

[Filmandstuff]

I received an email to check my status as well. I never got a call and there is nothing but general info under the financial aid tab that there are links to. Congrats to everyone who got in, to those that didn't take heart in the fact you made it this far.

 

[Russell Campbell]

Guess if we haven't heard back yet it's probably a no. Oh well. I hear back from AFI on April 2nd. Maybe the other random interview that I had no absolutely no way to prepare for went better than my Columbia one
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
