Got notice that my application is being reviewed. Has anyone been invited for interview as of yet? Or is the “in process” the status change you are speaking of?

They're probably not sending out invites for interviews until they've been through all the applications

Assumed as much. Cheers

Does anyone know what the status “completed” means? I didn’t send in my application too long ago so is it just that I’ve finished the application? Not sure if anyone remembers what their status was before it changed…

I have just submitted my 3rd application to directing fiction! I made it to interview last year and they normally tell you that in mid June.

My status is still "completed", it should change relatively soon, that goes for everyone!

 

[maxitos8820]

Also, in case you're interested, it seems that around 1443 people applied this year. Just assuming from my submission number, but doesn't seem too far-fetched for NFTS.

Damn 1443, just for directing fiction? At the open day this year they said it’s around 400-500 applicants on average, then interview around 40 - 50 people.

Very true, its soul destroying but also keeps me making work!
