Hey Guys,

I apologize if there is already a thread for FSU this year. If so go ahead an delete!

I was wondering if anyone on the forum here has applied to FSU this year? Or if there are those who have done the in person interviews want to share their experiences.

Hey!

I applied to FSU Production and got an email last Friday about an interview. I'm going Feb. 26th.

 

[NikonvsCanon]

and congrats wonderpony!!! What other schools did you apply to?

 

[wonderpony]

Congrats to you too, NikonvsCanon!

Directing and/or Production at Columbia, USC, NYU, UT Austin, and Miami.

Which schools did you apply to? And what concentration?

I have an interview at FSU the 26th as well! I've also applied to UT Austin and USC but haven't heard back from either of those yet.

 

[wonderpony]

Nice, congrats! I'll look out for a grizzly beard when I get there. Morning or afternoon?

I haven't heard back from UT Austin, or anywhere else.

i got an interview for the BFA program!
I'M FREAKING OUT!
i came to terms yesterday that i wasn't going to and i open my email this afternoon and...VOILA! I GOT IT!

 

[grizzly beard]

Mine is in the afternoon. And unfortunately my beard isn't quite so grizzly now.

I called this morning but Sandra didn't answer. I left a message though. I want to go March 5th for the morning section.

 

[wonderpony]

Same here, grizzly. Good luck and see you there!

Do you think the emailing process spans out over several days? I haven't received an email, not that that comes as any surprise :/

 

[dandc98]

I'm wondering the same thing. I tried calling today but, as expected, all lines were busy. Does anyone know how this process works? I know in the past, they used to call people personally . Either way, things aren't looking too good.

 

[NikonvsCanon]

i am not sure how it works but I believe they interview around 120-150 for 24 spots. I was notified by email. I noticed in the past based on previous forums, it did take a couple of days to notify everyone.

 

[wonderpony]

I heard 75 people get interviewed for 35 spots, but I dunno. How'd you come up with those numbers, NikonvsCanon?

 

[NikonvsCanon]

There are nine days of interviews with 2 sessions each with about 5 to 7 students per session. So if 14 people interview each day for nine days that's 126 + those that conduct skype or phone interviews = a number between 120 and 150. I got the 5 to 7 number from a friend who interview in person last year

 

[wonderpony]

That's interesting. Mine was based on what the student services coordinator told me when I visited.

 

[wonderpony]

I like them a lot better too! Hopefully she wasn't being generous to make me more at ease. Oh well, I'll take it.

 

[wonderpony]

Anyone submit a visual sample who wants to share?

Hey Wonderpony,

So the coordinator may have been a little off in numbers or the website needs to be updated. Directly off the program website:
we admit only 24 production students each year. and
only six writing students each fall.

 

[wonderpony]

Ahh. Well hopefully 75 interviews for 24 spots.
