NYU Graduate Film 2022

[Mos31203]

They sent me a separate email the next morning notifying me that I received a scholarship and with the exact amount. Can you send me a link to the group?

Huh. Interesting. I wrote to them so many times and they still told me to wait lol

I’m not sure if sharing the group link here is a good idea, but you should be able to find the link in your acceptance letter

That’s so strange. I don’t have the link in my acceptance letter

oooooh that may be because we’re in different programs. Syracuse has two film programs: one at VPA and another one at Newhouse. I’m going to the one at Newhouse.

With all due respect it would be great if we could leave this space for those of us interested in news about the NYU MFA Film program.
Much thanks!

if you don't get an interview for NYU, is it automatic rejection?

 

[LIN CINDY]

Are we going to hear the outcome tomorrow?

During my interview, they said that they were interviewing a small group of semi-finalists. So unfortunately, I believe that the likelihood of someone being admitted without an interview is very low.

Around this week - this is what Courtney said. But last year I received my rejection on 17th

Not sure if it’s today. It feels too soon

Hey team,
FWIW Stern told me they were trying to have a three-week turnaround, which at that point would be this Thursday or Friday.

Any acceptance/rejection news from anyone who was interviewed?

My interview was on the 7th, and I've spent the last 11 days pretty much mulling over how it went - vacillating from thinking it went mildly okay, to pretty horribly... It felt like a pretty natural conversation, but I was nervous as hell (Tisch has been my dream school for a while now, and I think I gave myself a lot of internal pressure for the interview)..

I was asked to tell them a story, and then told to tell a more personal story - for which I broke into a really personal one which I've been thinking of developing into a film for a few years now, about my grandfather's death. It was a pretty raw recounting of the tale, and my voice started cracking up - the faculty sorta, really warmly, guided me into developing the story further, with deeper character framing.

There were a few more questions prior to/after the exercise - about past work, why Tisch etc etc.. fairly standard stuff. To be honest I went through a lot of self-berating "what if I said xyz over xyz, why didn't I say xyz over xyz", over the last few days and now my mind's just blurred over what those were and how I answered them.

The interview ended with me asking them what drives them as film makers (as opposed to Qs about the course or program - since I felt I'd be able to ask those later, should I get accepted). I wanted to use the interview as an opportunity to learn more about them as folk in the field... Which I think might have been a weird way to end the interview...

I just hope I didn't come across as someone who doesn't want to study at the course or the school - because I didn't rant and rave and try to "repitch" the school. Instead, tried to be as personal and honest with my answers... Which tends to make me sound like a nervous, bumbling fool sometimes

Anyway. Thought I'd try to use this forum as a bit of catharsis as I articulate how I feel about the interview. (I've been a lurker on this board over the last few months as I prepped for the applications - incredibly helpful to hear everyone's experience/process)....

Godspeed!

anyone have the gumption to call or email for an update?

 

[pj456]

I don’t want to give anyone added anxiety but I just got the call that I’m in!

 

[Bergmanbaby]

Has anyone gotten rejections yet?

Has anyone gotten rejections yet?

Nope, checked my portal. Nothing changed. No calls either. Maybe they go by the order they followed during the interview. I was interviewed among the last ones. Also, even if they intend to call me, it won't happen today because it is almost midnight in my country. They cared about the time difference when scheduling my interview.
