NYU Graduate Film 2019

[zenflowers]

Just curious, when you say "after interview" – were you notified of being waitlisted immediately after the interview, or on the official decision date? I was always unclear from the application tracker too – if "after interview" meant you were immediately told what your status was, or in March.

I was notified a couple days after rejections went out. They told me to check my application portal to see my decision. Acceptances go out first, then rejections, and then waitlist (typically).

I was notified a couple days after rejections went out.

So you were notified during the regular March – April period, right? thanks for the quick reply.

 

[zenflowers]

Yep, I was notified around or on March 23. Rejections & acceptances had already gone out by then I believe.

Just received an interview notification for the NYU Graduate Film MFA BTW! Have to call to schedule an interview tomorrow, which will take place later this month/early March.

I’m guessing they all went out at the same time

Is that how it works? They send out all of interview notifications out on the same day? So are the rest of the applicants to assume we’re out?

I hope not. I've not yet got any interview notifications. I am hoping more will be sent out in the couple of days.

It probably bodes better for your application if you received an invite. There is one NYU application file on here that received an invite as late as Feb 28... But that's from 2016 and could be a false report. Many schools send invites out all at once but I guess there's always a chance of an exception.

So basically anyone who hasn’t receive the email yet is out?

Could be, but check out 2017 tracking sheets, there's a chance still if it's accurate

I don't want to give up hope. I hope to be receiving a late invitation for the dual degree.

I'm glad to hear that some of you received the invitation, godspeed.

Yeah I do wonder if the MBA and MFA applicants are "combined" into the same applicant pool? Since the class size is the same regardless I suppose they are....

I spoke with the admissions office of Tisch to schedule my interview and they mentioned that if I am accepted into Stern alone, I am free to pursue my MBA degree, but being accepted into Tisch alone does not guarantee a spot in the MFA program. So I assume that dual degree applicants are not included in the 36(not sure if this is the right number I think I read something like this on their website) admitted students for the MFA program.

Hey, this is my first time posting. Congratulations everyone who received an interview!!! I applied to the Tisch MFA and didn't receive a notification yesterday. My visual submission was an incomplete film (we had only shot half, the edit was essentially a first assembly of a first shoot, and there was no sound, score or graphics which are important to the film as it is mostly silent). It wasn't ready because the film got picked up by a scheme run by the BFI and BBC and we had to slow down the production for a number of reasons related to the executive involvement.

The film is now complete and hugely improved. Do you think I would be able to/it would be advisable to use it as a submission again next year, in its finished form, or do you think that now they've viewed and rejected an early iteration it would be a bad idea to resubmit? Should I try to make another narrative fiction film of the same production scale in the next year? I get that I should always be striving to make more, but I'm currently starting work on a documentary that will probably take up most of my free time and am wondering if I should put that aside and focus on another narrative short?

I know it's quite soon to be asking these questions, but I'm trying to mitigate the blow of yesterday by planning for next year.

Any advice would be truly appreciated.

I think we still have a shot. Until we get an official confirmation that We’re out.

Fingers crossed! But just in case I don't get in!
