NYU Dramatic Writing Program - Fall 2012

[Fred Flintstone]

ok i updated my "list" post to show that dmtr will enroll, DawsComedy will enroll (off wait list), HUwriter will enroll, and I, Fred Flintstone, am not sure.

(HUwriter, I'm basing this on your last post saying you have to find a place to stay).

 

[mikeofborg]

Still no word, anyone in the same boat? Probably will not enroll if accepted, unless there's a change to my situation, as I've been offered my first choice so here's hoping I can get someone in off the wait list.

I am still waiting on Columbia but I will most likely enroll (tv).

@HUwriter, I just saw you are from GA. I grew up there before I moved to Brooklyn last year!

 

[Fred Flintstone]

list updated to show that rockie2 "probably will enroll" in tv writing at nyu dw.

@ mike8163
care to let us know your likelihood of enrollment at nyu dw for screenwriting?

mikeofborg, thanks, that would be cool.

 

[mike8163]

I'm waiting to hear from Columbia as well (haven't heard anything since I interviewed there in Feb). I'm leaning toward NYU.

@mikeofborg - I am in the same situation. No word either way. I hate to be a downer but I don't think its a good sign....(But I also really hope I am wrong)

 

[mikeofborg]

@JayBird14 Possibly so, but I had thought the same thing about USC and they just took a couple of days to get through to me. It ain't over 'till it's over.

I suppose if I'm still hanging tomorrow I might give them a call so I can at least say one way or another.

 

[Fred Flintstone]

list updated to say that mike8163 will attend columbia if accepted there and allow a wait lister to enroll at nyu. haha jk. list updated to say mike8163 is leaning toward nyu but is also waiting to hear from columbia.

Hello,

I have been following this page for a while but just enrolled.

I have applied to NYU only and am still waiting to hear from them.

I will definitely join if I get in.

 

[DawsComedy]

Know this is supposed to be a page for nervous worrying, but I just want to say I'm really enjoying an imaginary scene between Fred Flinstone, the Queen of the Borg, and all of the Rider's of Rohan... #ThanksForTheAwesomeNames

 

[Fred Flintstone]

It's never going to stop. People are never going to stop making fun of my name. Yes...it's my real name. Frederick Flintstone. My parents were from Iceland and didn't have television. I have been thinking about changing it to Freddy Flint, but even then I think people will make fun. I hate my life. Daws, it's not your fault, don't worry about it. #MaybeAboulderCouldDropOnMyHeadAndEndThisMisery

 

[rohan]

I got through.

 

[DawsComedy]

Congrats Rohan! Which track?

And sorry Fred, wasn't trying to reopen old wounds.

 

[Fred Flintstone]

@ rohan
congratulations! are you screenwriting, tv writing, or playwriting?

@ oaktreefilm
want to tell us what you will do if selected off the wait list? - definitely enroll, probably enroll, not sure yet, or not enroll.

 

[rohan]

Thanks dude. I will be majoring in screenwriting.

 

[Fred Flintstone]

list updated to show rohan accepted, will enroll, screenwriting.

 

[rohan]

Thanks man.

The feeling is yet to sink in. I can't wait.

Hi guys

I am currently a grad DW at nyu. Wait listers can chill out cos about ten of you will easily get in. We have around ten in our class. Infact a guy joined like three days after classes began.

 

[ignatiusreilly]

No word yet. Beginning to think it might be over just don't know why I haven't been formally rejected...

 

[Fred Flintstone]

Munky the robot,

Thanks for the info about wait listers.

How do you feel about the program? What is your concentration?

I got accepted to UT Austin (MFA screenwriting) with a full scholarship. Do you think I should go there for free or go to NYU or AFI (currently wait listed at both) for $40,000 per year?

If I could get a full or half scholarship at NYU I would go there (does anybody get money other than loans?).

Others, feel free to give input.
