2021 had a bunch more applications logged. I think there were also less required fields then. But people complained that not enough info was being added so I made some required.

Be sure to log your applications so we can keep improving the data.

hi all only found this forum last week, but happy to share that i received a voicemail from julia about an hour ago with a place offer. not sure i can 100% accept it yet (being an intl. student there's a lot of bells and whistles to sort out), but looking forward to hopefully seeing some of you this autumn!

 

[Chris W]

Congrats! That's awesome!

Are you attending?

Don't forget to log or update your application if you haven't yet. Very helpful to people

hi! i got the call from julia at 11:42 am est. i interviewed in person on feb 25 with julia, yemane and mia. congrats to everyone! i actually wrote the questions they asked me down after my interview out of anxiety, so im going to share them for future applicants.

• what i was proud of and what i would change about my visual submission
• specific question about my film
• why i want to go back to film school after a short time (i just graduated undergrad film in may 2024)
• a film i wish i made and a film i was disappointed in
• how was my visual submission is different than the film i was disappointed in? (the film i hated is the same genre as the film i made)
• describe a moment u felt free then imagine the last scene of a film where a character goes through that (they originally asked me what i regretted but my answer was too vulnerable so free hack: to get a new prompt, have too sad of an answer lol /j)
• how would u feel if we assigned a crew to u? (i make films solely within my community)
• any questions for us?

i hope this helps! good luck to everyone now and in the future.

Hello!
Why does it seem like only international students received a call. Did Julia let you know when to expect your admission/ financial aid email?

 

[yriafofu]

i’m not international! i’m based in brooklyn and i got a phone call (i think everyone who is accepted will, but it might be on different days if she’s the only one calling not sure) i think she said we’re getting emails from courtney early this week. can’t remember the exact date because i was in shock.

Congrats to everyone, guys! I'm very happy to hear about your results!

For myself - I think, I can safely assume a rejection at this point. It's though, yet it is what it is.

I wish the best experience for you there!!

Did you get to interview? If so you shouldn’t lose hope!!

 

[midnightcowboy]

Thank you, friend. I did get an interview. It went great till the end, I messed up in the end I guess...

But, honestly, I think I should really face the reality lol! Would love to be mistaken, yet I'm 100% it's a rejection.

Has anyone heard of Brooklyn College MFA? I got into Brooklyn. I really want to go to Tisch and like NYC a lot, but since I got rejected and Brooklyn seems to be a lesser version of Tisch, I'm wondering if I should attend Brooklyn instead. I'm also waiting to hear back from CalArts (Film and Video MFA), Chapman (Directing), and LMU (Directing). The other school I got into is SAIC.

 

[midnightcowboy]

It's not as good as NYU and I think it's not worth attending an above-average film school, as it's a big decision in every sense. Same for Dodge and LMU. If I were you, I would try NYU next year.

What about Calarts? I was thinking what if I still couldn't get into NYU next year so it'd be a waste of time.
