NYU Grad Film school Fall 2021

is there any hope of still having an interview?

Same question here...even tho it would be hard to tell...

April 1st

Really?

Personally, if I don’t hear anything by the first week of March, then I plan on accepting the fact that I didn’t get in to NYU and moving on. Still surprised that not a lot of people here got an interview request.

The later decision notification date might signal that they actually are just behind schedule this year... don't want to get our hopes up but April 1st leaves a lot of time for some more interviews

Yes, I was thinking along these same lines. For interview requests to have gone out in early February, that's a pretty long time between scheduled interviews and when decisions go out -- unless they actually do need that time to determine 36 spots. Idk lol, it just does seem odd that so few people on here got requests/it's never been skewed that way

I had my interview yesterday and asked them at the end when we find out - they said April 1st

They said mid march when I was interviewed on Monday
Perhaps a delay/change in the plan?

something that was interesting when i got my dramatic writing request was that the interviewer thought that we had been contacted by tisch already that we had reached the interview round, but we were not. i know they are different programs, and i don’t want to be blindly optimistic, but maybe they just have been swamped/delayed

Was Tisch supposed to tell applicants they advanced to the interview stage before informing them their interview date?

Was Tisch supposed to tell applicants they advanced to the interview stage before informing them their interview date?

Or I wonder if the interview request was reflected in the portal for people who were notified?

From the dramatic writing thread: NYU Dramatic Writing MFA - Fall 2021
"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"

I wonder if it's the same for directing

based on what the interviewer said in the message, it seems so. the interviewer said that they were told we knew about getting to the interview round already, but we didn’t. they could’ve also just been confused. but if they weren’t it seems as if the process was supposed to be tisch would reach out first saying that we would be interviewed, and then a designated faculty member would schedule the individual times with everyone they were assigned. so it might be a similar situation here? i don’t know if film applicants that received interviews were contacted by tisch or individual faculty, but if it’s the latter than it might actually be a delay

Was your status in the portal updated?

The delay could be because of a smaller faculty and COVID for nyu grad film, but if that is the case I just wish Tisch would at least inform us everything would be going slower this year instead of making us confused

no

I have been sitting on sth for this past week: does tisch have one designated faculty member to do all the interviews or multiple like USC? if it was the latter case, did people who already had their interview donr got invited by the same faculty member?

To answer some questions here: when I was notified it was by Courtney in the admissions office. She let me know I had advanced to the interview round and asked me if a date and time worked for the interview (all of this over email). The interview was with three faculty members. I was told which members of the faculty it would be a couple of days in advance. My portal was not updated. I was also told we would hear back mid-March.
