NYU Dramatic Writing 2019

[Cody Young]

Quite interestingly, my experience is similar. My Skype interview with Shinho was very cool (yes, exactly that). We discussed all the usual stuff, but I felt extremely relaxed, and sort of like there was a lot of air and space for me in our conversation... I hope it makes sense lol.

By the end, the whole dynamic was even a lot more casual than the traditional "laid back interview" vibe. Honestly, when we finished, I felt the best, compared to my other two interviews. I just felt that we really established some sort of connection early on, and I was really comfortable the whole time. I got praise for my screenplay, too.

I also had my doubts about NYU in terms of industry connections and general distance from Hollywood, but now I wonder if I really did feel something special and therefore should follow my heart (in case I get accepted).

Oh and yes, Shinho also told me to expect their decision in 4-8 weeks, which he thought was "quite soon". I feel like we should investigate that somehow, maybe write them or something.

Did your interviewer also happen to ask whether anyone else from the program had reached out to you? In my interview, Richard asked me a couple of times if anyone from the program had already reached out to me and kept me in the loop, so to speak, with the application process. It sounds like they might be a bit disorganized on their end, which could also explain the conflicting assessments about decision times. Just a thought

Nope, there was nothing like that. So did someone actually reach out to you? For me, that's a negative.

Yeah. it looks like they are, and the whole process seems to take them longer, too, compared to previous years (judging by those old applications in our application tracker).

My interviewer told me to expect final decisions to come out end of March/early April

So, 2-1 for earlier rather than later! I hope that's case. If I'm accepted, I need all the time I can get for getting that F-1 visa. Thanks to US-Russian relationships, it's easier set than done =/

Anyone else interview with Joe Vinciguerra? Mine was this past Wednesday over Skype.

Good luck to everyone on here! Definitely holding my breath these next couple weeks.

Congrats! How did it go?

It went well! Casual conversation asking about my samples and interests (TV shows) I know a lot of people who went to the same program, which is why I applied to it. Very straight forward and she was nice. But you never know till you know so I'm just going to live my life till I hear otherwise.

Oh, good!

What is your friends' opinion on the program in terms of networking and job opportunities?

Just got a call from Associate Chair Joseph Vinciguerra with news of acceptance, which is cool. When I interviewed with NYU earlier this month, they said they weren't expecting to make decisions until early April so while they are making calls today, I wouldn't panic if you don't hear anything; I may have just been sorted into Group A or something...

Congratulations everyone!! Has anything changed on your web application?

No, it still just says "Submitted" and I have no messages. I was told to expect an email either today or tomorrow.

@JEC @fadetoblack @sortofawriter

Are you guys from US or international?

 

[divmoh247]

Oh, good!

In mumbai atleast they are very connected, more like friends! they hang out and they work in the same environment. It's really well connected, but more than anything I've found them to be a good bunch to everyone in general. Honest, open, and helpful!
