NYU Dramatic Writing Program - Fall 2012

[ignatiusreilly]

I havent heard anything. Got accepted at AFI. AFI and Tisch are definitely my 2 top schools so if Tisch takes me I'll have a great but very hard decision on my hands.

dmtr,

Thank you. Any idea when people start getting chosen off the wait list? Probably around the time that people admitted to NYU choose not to go there, officially, and put down deposits at other schools.

Does anyone know the commit dates/deposit due dates for the other top 5 screenwriting programs? Mid-April?

Fred

@ Fred

It was a bit staggered, but I think around the end of April last year a wave of people got in off the waitlist. I also heard some people got calls as late as end of August. Last year, for NYU, the deadline for admitted candidates to turn in their deposits and committments was 4/15.

@ benifox, HUwriter, Tebowing4Gradskool and Britton

Have you guys heard anything?

I haven't heard anything yet. Next few days perhaps...

 

[rockie2]

Nothing here either @mikeofborg

For those on the waitlist, you can read about our experience last year beginning here:

I just received an acceptance letter for tv writing! wow i am so excited! good luck to everyone, hopefully they will inform you all soon!

 

[mike8163]

Just got the email. I'm in for DW (screenwriting). I'm at the office now and want to unscrew my cubicle like the dude in Office Space. Good luck guys!

 

[dmtr]

I was also accepted for TV writing.

Good luck to everyone on the waitlist!

 

[benifox]

Haven't heard a thing (waitlist or otherwise). Is this a bad thing?

 

[HUwriter]

I GOT IN! I GOT IN! I GOT IN! NYU HERE I COME!

@ benifox

There may be a delay due to the fact that you applied to both NY and Asia. Did Tisch Asia accept you? There's probably no harm in calling NYU to follow up. Good luck!

Edit: And congrats to everyone who got in! I know some people posted their concentration, but do chime in with yours if you have not already done so.

I was feeling pretty confident that I hadn't gotten an e.mail and rejections and waitlists had gone out. Now I'm beginning to wonder if NYU has my e.mail right!

@ Fred

I think the thread below is where I saw a couple people get in off the waitlist last year. Hope it helps calm the nerves.

dmtr,
thanks. i enjoyed reading that thread.

"the list" in my previous post has been edited to reflect that HUwriter was accepted to screenwriting. hopefully some more people will chime in with acceptance/wait list info, etc.

It would also be nice to know who among the accepteds AND wait listers will definitely enroll at nyu and who is not sure, yet.

 

[dmtr]

I will be accepting the spot. Anyone else hear back today?

 

[DawsComedy]

I'm waitlisted, but if accepted would enroll. It's the only program I applied to, because it's the only one I'd want to attend.

 

[HUwriter]

Now I have to find a place to stay!
