Has anyone else NOT heard back yet from UCLA MFA Screenwriting ‘23?

Hey all….
I applied like normal for the UCLA MFA 2023 Screenwriting, had my interview on Feb and 16th. They told me I’m being considered for the Feature track.
I saw on this form that a lot of people heard back early March . I sent admissions an email March 9th asking for an update and they said decisions are ongoing.
It’s March 27th and I’m still waiting.
I don’t know if there’s a problem with my application or they need to get in contact with my undergraduate schools (I went to 4 colleges so maybe that makes it difficult).
Or maybe they want to waitlist me or wait until they hear yes and no from people. Anyone??

Hi! Sorry, that’s super frustrating. My best guess is they are still considering you, but waiting to hear back from other applicants to see if they have a spot for you. And then they’ll send you their decision. My notification and all UCLA communications since have gone to spam, so definitely check there. This is the notification I received. If you follow this link and there is no decision letter for you, you can confirm they have not made a decision on your application.

"Please review your decision by logging back into UCLA application status page at https://apply.grad.ucla.edu/portal/status and clicking on the "View Your Official Decision Letter" link."

I'm still waiting to hear back from their producers program (called and emailed, email got no reply, and on call, I was told that decisions are "ongoing"), but I think the chance at this point is pretty slim. Like blr055 mentioned above, think they are waiting to hear back from other students to see if they have spots opening up.
