FSU Interviews (1 Viewer)

Hey Everyone,

I have an interview on the 20th and I was hoping to get a little heads up about what to expect.

Could all of you who have had your FSU interview care to shed some light?
 
I'm in the same boat, Drakes. I had a phone interview for stage and screenwriting way back on February 19th, and I haven't heard a thing since then.
I've already accepted UCLA's offer, so I will most likely email Ebonee's replacement this Monday and formally pull out of the running. I'm not sure why they're taking so long letting people know. Has anyone who interviewed actually been rejected?
 
Well, I was reading through last year's thread on FSU and it sounded like people were receiving notifications, for acceptances at least, in late April and all of May. But this was when they were already notified that they were being put on a waiting list, something I have not received yet.

Has anyone been formally notified that they were being placed on a waiting list, or is that something to be assumed at this point?
 
I received a letter from FSU saying that they only accepted 30 people into production. I don't know if that was a standard letter or if it was saying they already filled the 30 spots...

Also, I also received the $1000 from FSU too. It's no assistantship, but I supposed everything helps, right?
 
Has anyone still waiting heard? I called at the beginning of the week, and was told that the 27th was the final day for the first invited group to respond. I thought perhaps the deliberations would take another day at the most, since they need to have the class composition decided by May 1 at the latest.

I was told the new invitees will be contacted via phone/email and those declined will be contacted via post.

Best of luck to those still waiting.
 
got an email about an hour ago from Sandra putting me as an alternate for the program. kind of disappointing, but it does leave a chance to still get in. If not, I'm definitely reapplying next year. Does anyone have any idea how many alternates there are? Are ALL the people who interviewed and didn't get in "alternates"?
 
While I've been working in Tallahassee the last 3 years, I was interviewed and made an alternate each of those 3 years, including this one. I declined LMU the first year and Chapman last year to stay, work and give FSU another (and another) try. Every single person who interviewed is a potential alternate. In my 3 years I've never heard of a single interviewee not being selected as an alternate, though the school has said not all are. Inevitably some alternates will have already committed to other schools and will pull themselves out of the pool as I have (I will be going to Chapman this year), which is why they can say not all interviewees are potential alternates. I think that's just the technicality though.
 
No ****ing clue. I'll tell you one thing, though. I was flat-out REJECTED (no interview) and just got that same email from Sandra. I decided to accept being waitlisted for the lulz. I don't consider my chances terribly high, given that possibility though.
