NYU Grad Film school Fall 2021

[cheeeese3cake]

I’m preparing to reapply while waiting on waitlists! Going to take advantage of the year off if I don’t get off a waitlist!

Me too! Hope you will get accepted by your waitlisted school!

Rejected. though the wound is fresh (haha) I was wondering if any of you guys have any idea what you will do with yourselves in the following year? Meaning, are you planning to work a normal job and reapply next year, try to find a job in the film industry, and also reapply next year, or maybe apply to a different university?

Personally, the rejection is most painful for me not because of the fact of not being accepted in itself but because for months I have set my mind to the prospect of living and studying in New York, and now I have no plan and I just feel anxious as hell.

It sucks to be in limbo again for another year but I'm going to keep working at my part time jobs outside of the industry and if it's safe I'll travel/go make short films with friends. I'm reapplying next year to some schools. What are you thinking of doing? You can message me too!

Where do you think you'll reapply to? Thanks!

Where do you think you'll reapply to? Thanks!

NYU, UCLA (if they start taking new applicants again), maybe a few other schools, idk yet.

Hey this thread has been so reassuring ! Maybe we all can create a film group outside of this to hold each other accountable and share future projects! I just love the positivity.

You took those words right out of my mouth.

Rejected. Was wondering if they would give any feedback so I know what parts of my application were clearly lacking that I didn't even cross the first stage. Has anyone ever reached out to them after a rejection?

On a more optimistic side note - this thread and community have been invaluable during a nerve-wracking and extended wait period. Congrats to those that got in, hoping to see the rest of you in the 2022 thread. In the meantime, if anyone makes it to NYC and wants to collaborate, reach out

Thank you!

Rejected. Haven't heard anything from schools in NYC except the final decision. I think it's a clear sign that I am not the type of student they want.

The same here. I was dreaming about NY. But I am going to stop with applying to film school. It asks so much money and time. I will better try to get an internship in the industry. Probably it is a faster way since I already have some experience and master degree in Communication

Maybe we need to create a community of rejected people haha to support each other and see where we get by the end of the days

Good luck in whatever path you chose to go

Thanks a lot. I wish all people here the same - good luck whatever path you chose

We could be that community. Start a new thread here for those who got rejected or I can move your post to a new thread.

Getting rejected doesn't say anything about you and it's not the only path. I went to BU in the late 90s for film and a good portion of my classmates aren't in the business anymore or didn't really get a foot hold at all. Film school is not a gaurentee of work. A decent amount of editors and producers I know didn't even go to film school at all.

Try again next year if you want or bust down the door your own way.

Film school is a great experience but it's not the only way.

Sorry to hear. NYU is a tough school to get into.

A wait-list 2021 thread was created... If you guys want to create a rejected thread?

We used to have those a while back and they were helpful to people.

Waitlist Support Group 2021

Hey guys! I was waitlisted for two programs, so I think we could all benefit from somewhere we can talk about it. So this is just for anyone who was waitlisted anywhere and the waiting is killing them. :)

Remember a rejection is not the end. Only the beginning.*

*Of an origin story.

Created one.

Rejected 2021

I thought I'd create a thread for people who had their Applications rejected (YOU were not rejected... Your application was) to commiserate and discuss your next plans. Are you applying again next year? Are you going to a school you were admitted to? Are you going to say F*** it and knock down...

www.filmschool.org

Also do I could share one of the best animated films of all time.

Has anyone accepted received financial aid information yet?

I received scholarship info but not FAFSA yet. Did anyone else get a TSOA scholarship? I was pleasantly surprised!

 

[Sw121]

Was it in your initial acceptance letter?
