NYU MFA Grad Film 2018 Applicants

[Shuyao Chen]

Hey! Congrats for this interview What was exactly the question for the story part? Did you have to tell a story from your childhood or something like that or you had to invent one? Thank you !

They didn't ask me to tell a story. Just go with the flow. If you get such question, it could be true story or purely fictional. Good luck!

Okay, thank you. My interview is soon and NYU is my first choice, I'm freaking out!

Hey all, has anyone been contacted this past wk or from March 1st till now receiving any kind of status or been asked to come in for an interview- for Film ?

 

[Olivia Song]

To add to that, has anyone been contacted at all receiving any status of their application for the writing program?

 

[Shuyao Chen]

The suspense is literally killing me. I'm pulling my hair out right now.

 

[redroom29]

Still haven't heard anything from NYU. Anyone know when rejections come out?

 

[Eel Dreams]

I don't know fam. Shit is tragic

 

[FirstTimer]

According to last year's spreadsheet, some acceptances went out 3/17-3/18, then some were admitted off waitlist on 3/23 (this is for DW only).

To add to that, has anyone been contacted at all receiving any status of their application for the writing program?

I'm just trying to focus my energy elsewhere as much as possible. But yea, I feel you tho. The suspense is literally making my stomach cramp up by the very thought of it. I've been praying every friggin night for the past week and a half (lol). I'm just trying to stay as positive as possible. Will keep you guys in my prayers and best of luck to you all!

 

[NoCredentials]

Haven't heard anything since my interview! Hopefully, they'll start sending acceptances soon, the wait is killing me.

 

[Adam Blonsky]

I don't have anything super positive to contribute. No interview request, I got my rejection letter last year on the 7th.

It's easy to rationalize some reasons why I might still get contacted - maybe they're doing them in rounds etc. but I'd guess that if we didn't get an interview by now we're not being considered. Honestly, it would be fine, but I didn't realize until I didn't get a rejection letter how much I wanted it. It's tough to age up and have life start getting in the way of your dreams - it limits your options, and rejection feels more and more like a kick in the gut.

That said, I'd like to wish very sincere luck to everyone else.

This is brutal. Been interviewed by AFI and Columbia. Heard nothing back from USC and NYU (which probably means rejections). I think finding these message boards were a mistake.

 

[Eel Dreams]

Decisions starting to come? 2 people indicate so on spreadsheet

 

[redroom29]

Yeah. I received news from another program (dream choice) so I'm not waiting as anxiously anymore but I'd still like to know the status of my application. After all the time I spent on it, ya know?

Hi redroom, not sure if you were aware of it, but you're listed in the spreadsheet for NYU Grad Film as "Denied Without Interview"... and that was entered some time ago in fact ... Is that a mistaken entry? I found it odd that anyone who isn't accepted would be notified at such an early date that they didn't get in so was almost assuming somebody was messing around with the spreadsheet (!). ... and your post just now seems to indicate you too are still waiting for a letter from NYU Grad Film

p.s. and congrats on getting into your dream choice!
