Hi everyone! First post in the forum though I've been looking at these posts for weeks lol

Just want to let someone wondering about the time they call know. I got the call from Maureen (one of my interviewers) at 4pm PST. So you shall anticipate them calling in the evening EST.

I was rejected by USC and UCLA (even though I did my film minor here!), but now I am accepted by the one and only producing program that I feel that I will attend for sure. So Good Luck y'all!!!

I keep forgetting the people calling us are professors, so they're probably calling between and after classes....fingers crosses still.

Mine hasn't been updated either. Nor have I received the official letter (email) yet.

How's everyone doing? Do ya'll know if they're done calling?

Congrats to all those who got in for Creative Producing. At this point, I plan on committing to Columbia, and would love to get in touch with any of you who might be too!

Also, I'm sorry to all those who might not have gotten in. Again, I'd still hang tight and have hope by the end of the month, or until you actually get the news via email. I'm sure all of you are very capable and talented filmmakers, I hope an application decision doesn't make you feel otherwise.

Nothing yet. Then again it's not even 7am yet where I'm at. If I don't get into any of the schools I applied to, I'm giving USC Spring 2018 a shot. If I don't get in, I'll apply for an MBA program so I can still get my foot in the door as an admin assistant and just work my way up that way.

Really hope you do get in to one of your top choices. I saw that you applied to Feirstein, I'm sure you have a good shot with them as they're still growing. Also amazing facilities and program, totally worth it.

I'm sure I didn't get in...the two people who interviewed other than me, got acceptance notifications the next day. It's been a couple weeks for me. I don't think they liked it when I asked them, "if accepted why should I chose them instead of another well established school?"
