NYU 2010 Interviews

[film212film]

I thought it might be appropriate to start a thread for those who interviewed to talk about how they thought the interview went, and any concerns and questions as we wait the next two weeks to hear the decision.

Did anyone feel they did horribly?
How much do you think the interview matters?

 

[Kretze]

HEY!
I got the same email yesterday and I have just called Susan Carnival: I AM IN!!!

I still can't believe it.

 

[caccie]

yes. I also called Ms.Carnival.I'm in! oh my god, unbelivable!!!I cannot wait to meet you future classmates I believe there will be more guys on this forum getting in! cuz we do our best!

Hey next person who calls in or gets called, ask if they are still making acceptance calls or if they are done. Though if you receive a call, that would be an answer right there.

Also, ask when waitlisters get notified.

Thanks!

I applied for Dramatic Writing. It seems the Production Applicants had a more intense interview since mine was more of a chat about who I was and why I wanted to be a screenwriter.

robert_m : do you know if they inform dual degree by phone the same day as the rest? Remember that duders said traditionally dual degree are not included in the 36.

 

[robot_m]

I guess I have no idea how dual degreers will be notified. They are indeed their own separate thing...with 5 or 6 people accepted.

Congrats to all of those who got it! You can and should be so proud of yourself.

I didn't get a call, and will admit to being a little bit sad/angry about the whole process for yet another year. Painful indeed. Regardless, I wish all of you the best next year.

 

[bailigard]

I am in! I'd like to exchange fb contact with all of my future classmate

Does anyone know (about) when NYU started calling Dramatic Writing applicants for interviews, weather they have been doing interviews over their spring break, or about when I should begin panicking because they haven't called me?

 

[brainwashed]

It's official. NYU waitlist.

 

[film212film]

Brainwashed: it seems in past years many people were taken off the waitlist

Also if you look at where other people were accepted, many people got into more then one place and are making a decision. So don't give up so easy! Write to admissions and make a case for yourself, why they should take you off waitlist.

 

[robot_m]

How were you notified?

 

[brainwashed]

film212film, thanks for the encouragement! It means a lot to me. I guess I'll email the admissions as you suggested. What's there to lose anyway

This is a hard time for me, as I truly believed I'd go to NYU this year. I've come a long way to apply and put as much work as I could into this. Another year of wait seems like eternity... But I won't give up easily!

Good luck to you! You deserve it!

 

[brainwashed]

I got an email in the morning saying I need to log in to the application system and there was a letter waiting for me there.

 

[ragless]

hey brainwashed, definitely email and let them know why you're perfect for the program and why it's still your top choice. also, i think accepted students have until April 15th or May 1st to decide (correct me on this), so if anything new/impressive comes up between then and now, send them an email to let them know!

 

[brainwashed]

Thanks Ragless! I'm definitely gonna go for it!

 

[brainwashed]

Anyone else got waitlisted??

 

[ChrisWiggles]

I interviewed, but haven't heard anything from NYU yet, this makes me sad. Do you think all the acceptance calls/emails have gone out? They told me I would be notified April 1st, so I was waiting for that, but hearing that a number of people have already received calls makes me think I didn't make it. Dammit. :|

I didn't feel good about my interview, I'm so bad at on-the-spot improvisation. If I had half an hour and a pen and paper I could write a mean character and an awesome story, but just talking it out like that is super hard for me.

 

[nyny4282]

chriswiggles... don't worry about it. interviews are lame anyway. i don't know if this makes you feel any better but grad school doesn't guarantee anything anyway, and the selection process has some random elements to it. people who can create great character and awesome stories are always in demand... follow your passion and reapply if things don't work out!

Hang in there, brainwashed. I just declined at NYU...I hope you get my spot!
