Congratulations everyone! How were you contacted and at what time?

I got an email from Courtney just before noon EST asking me to call her between 9-5 to schedule an in-person or Skype interview with a faculty member in late February to early March.

Are they gonna keep sending out interview notifications or is it over? T.T I haven't got one I'm so sad

I don’t think it’s over. Historically they seem to send the majority over a two/three day period, and then a few more dotted over the next few weeks. Not getting an interview today is no cause for worry; you are definitely still in the running. Good luck!

Like @rpghamlyn said, the initial bulk of invites are sent and then more come out a week or so later. And people who got their interview requests later than everyone else still get admitted too. So it doesn't look like the "earlier" people get any special treatment.

Hi everyone! After I submitted an application back in November while re-checking the submitted documents, I noticed, much to my regret, one small mistake in my Personal Statement. Although this does not distort the meaning and does not affect the content of my letter as a whole, I still consider it important to mention in advance that in the last paragraph I mistakenly refer to another educational institution instead of NY Tisch School (USC). I wrote to a representative of the graduate admission office in January to clarify myself but she did not answer anything (tisch.gradadmissions@nyu.edu). I'm wondering if it really affects my chances... Still did not get an interview request too.

So I should not be waiting for the request at least this week? Maybe you know what is the latest interview notification date for NYU? When should I start losing hope?

All I know is the application data entered by previous applicants on this site. I think last year (or 2018?) someone who got in wasn't offered an interview until a week or so after the first batch of interview requests went out.

Does anyone know if they send out rejection emails? or do you just assume if you didn't get an email regarding an interview that you won't be getting one? thank you!

Hi nervousmom (great name),

They won't send out rejection emails to anyone until after they have interviewed everyone and made their selections. Don't worry if your daughter/son/you didn't get an email yesterday. Last year they sent out the first bunch of interview emails over three days, and then continued to send out interview emails over the following few weeks. If you want a clearer idea of how this all plays out, have a look at last year's equivalent thread. I don't know how to link it, but you'll be able to find it in graduate film school discussions.

thank you so much for your reply - I looked at last year's thread, that was useful- thank you. It sounds like the "rejection" emails won't go out until at least end of February if they are waiting to interview everyone - but, it sounds like the "lack of interview email" is the equivalent of a "rejection" - has anyone gotten interview emails today?

No, still got nothing

sorry! have you gotten any other interviews?
Do we know how many people NYU interviews?

Yes, I've been interviewed by the professor from the USC.

Not sure about how many people received an interview request from NYU since we only got information from the applicants registered on this site. But it looks like the most part of the NYU applicants in this thread already received an invitation.

nooo

I just want to restate because I really don't want everyone to panic: not getting an interview notification yesterday does NOT mean you are not going to get an interview. Every year that that filmschool.org has collected data shows that not all interview invites are sent out at once. For example, look at the attached from 2017. 3 sent out on Feb 8th, 4 sent out on Feb 10th, one sent out on Feb 28th. Every other year is similar.

It's not yet time for apocalyptic thinking.
