i'm still holding out hope, but haven't heard anything yet! i just got accepted to USC, so i'm less panicked about NYU... although i would still really love an interview. congrats to everyone who's gotten one so far!

Congratulations, guys! Please, could you tell us which kind of material did you submit? Was it a pilot, feature or a play? I am holding on hope here and would like to think they are schedueling interviews by writers profile. But it is just a guess.

AND: did any international here get an interview yet?

I’ve been wondering about the international thing too. Did anyone not from the US get an interview request yet? God, the agony!

Hey! International here from Singapore, still waiting on an interview as well. Fingers crossed, hopefully we receive news about interview requests for international students before too long.

I emailed a department administrator to see if all of the interview requests had gone out yet and she said no. She also said the timeline was a bit different this year because of COVID. Don't mean to give false hope, but it ain't over til it's over

Bless you for asking!

False or not, it's definitely nice to have some hope -- all the best for everyone else waiting!

I submitted 2 comedic pilots. Neither was very good (I submitted 1 to the blacklist and it rated 5 and 6. I imagine the other would rate the same). So...I'm assuming I got an interview off my personal statement. The person interviewing us is a television writing professor. So, I think it might be just television people in this small interview pool.

Thanks so much for answering. I submitted a feature film. As I didn't see anyone who was interviewed submitting feature screenplays, I will still hold on hope. Let's see.

Was this just for dramatic writing? Did you email Natalie LeBrecht?

 

[Abbey Normal]

Anyone want to take one for the team and email admissions to confirm whether or not interview requests are still going out? I'm still feeling a bit optimistic haha.

I submitted a feature, and had my interview with the head of the screenwriting department last Friday — but I’m also domestic, so definitely don’t lose hope!

Hi! Congrats! What kind of questions did they ask? My interview is tomorrow and I feel so unprepared/nervous. (Who did you interview with?) thank you!!

Hi, thank you -- I interviewed with Sabrina Dhawan. Most of her questions revolved around my background and how that influences the themes and characters that I like to work with. We didn't talk much about my writing sample other than her saying that she liked it although it was structurally a tad wonky (true lol). Her biggest question was why I want to go to grad-school, and how I believed more schooling would help my career. I'd certainly have an answer for that. The interview was supposed to be 20 minutes but prepare for it to be longer -- I don't know if the person interviewing after me canceled or something but we talked for over 30 minutes. Overall, Sabrina was very nice and I enjoyed talking with her.

Don't be nervous! I've been incredibly fortunate to get interview requests for the schools I've applied to, and every single interview was wildly different -- I'm not sure how much someone coming across as prepared impacts their decisions. It seems like they just want to get a feel for your personality and each school/interviewer has a unique approach to sussing you out. I'm sure you'll do great! Good luck!
