Just opened my acceptance email (after two days of staring at it) and found out I received the dean fellowship (covering the entire cost of tuition) ! I can't even believe it! See you in the Fall!

How's everyone's financial aid process going? I received my aid package when I got my acceptance letter on Friday. It stated it was a combination of merit and need worth $27,500. I just now received an email with a scholarship from a private donor that NYU put me up for worth $25,100. I called the financial aid office to clarify since I was confused and they mentioned that I should disregard the first amount and that the second amount has been confirmed plus that I'll be having "some money coming from Tisch" but that my award was explicitly NOT the 25k + 27K (which is a bummer...)

I emailed them yesterday though asking for an increase in amount based off being up for a fellowship at UCLA, but now feel embarrassed since nothing has been finalized, even though they sent me an award letter already. Really confused...

Hi everyone! Has anyone gotten off the waitlist yet? Just curious!

 

[filmschool0]

I just recieved an email with an admission offer for the MFA/MBA dual degree program(previously on waitlist). I've already committed myself to another school so I'm giving up the spot. Don't give up hope yet, apparently they're still calling in more students!

Rising 2nd Year MFA at NYU Tisch Grad Film. AMA

Hi! My name is Tara and I just finished my first year at NYU Grad Film in May. Chris the Admin asked me to host an AMA and I thought it would be a great idea! This is something that would have been so helpful to me last year, while I was lurking on this site trying to figure out which school to...

Hi,

Can anyone remind me what the maximum running time of the visual submission was in this application year?

It would also be so helpful if anyone would be willing to share their application materials with me?

Thank you!

 

[Chris W]

To those that applied last year.... Be sure to update your application in the Film School Application database with as much info as you can.

See this example application to see how you can fully utilize the system:

SAMPLE MFA Application 2019

This is a sample Application (and not an actual AFI application) to showcase the various features of the Tracker

The more data the better to help future applicants. Thank you! ?

for future applicants: if you'd like to see any of my application materials, please feel free to post/send me a message!

I hope everything is going well! I'll be applying to Tisch for next fall and it would be so helpful to see your application materials. Would you mind sending?

Aid info/official admittance email just came in!

Sorry for all the questions but were they generous with aid?
