NYU (NY) 2010

[wyy123]

Has anyone gotten the call for Producing yet that wasn't part of the MBA/MFA program?

I hope Susan has many more calls to make as I am still waiting to hear. Now I am officially paranoid. I mean, 70 calls in 1 day? That's way too many, right? RIGHT?! (looking for reassurance)

I am hoping for the fact that they are calling people for interviews for February. I put March down as my interview days, so hopefully I am still in the running.

Production-Directing focus applicant here...

Congrats to everyone who received a phone call!

I'm also hoping that the calls spill into tomorrow and the the calls are done reverse alphabetical or something similar. But I guess at least if I don't get the call by tomorrow, I won't have to wait any longer to find out my NYU status .

I'm sleeping with my phone tonight.

Is it really 70 people? Did she tell anyone else this? I blanked out during the phone call...

Congratulations to everyone who received an interview! Break a leg! I'm v jealous, but sincerely wish all of you the best of luck. I find interviews really challenging, and hope none of you get nerves as badly as I do.

I'm waiting too, glued to my phone like a hooker to heroin. Thankfully if I don't hear in the next day or two, then I know for sure that I didn't get in and stop being so anxious all the time. I'm Canadian, but attending university in the UK, so I'm not sure which number she would call.

Interviewing 70 people for 36 spots seems a bit narrow--that would mean that they admit 50% of all interviewees. I would've thought that they'd interview more, but I guess even 70 takes up a ton of time.

hey guys!

after being a little depressed during yesterday and today after hearing about the calls...they just send me an email!

so good luck to you all!!

I'm waiting too, glued to my phone like a hooker to heroin.

As a hooker I resent this. Everyone knows that meth makes you a sexual athlete.

Anyone got a call who's in the Dramatic Writing pool of Admissions?

 

[wyy123]

Is anyone else the producing concentration?

 

[film212film]

i heard 70 too directly from TISCH, but I thought that was a low #

40 accepted
15 rejected
15 waitlist

 

[etone112]

Also, i want to get an idea about the creative portfolio everyone sent...

 

[apex]

I have yet to hear anything and my hopes are falling. But I guess I will wait on the official word.

But everyone who received calls, I'm pumped for you!

Hi everyone!
This is my first post.
Just wanted to congratulate the lucky/talented fellows who got their calls already.
I applied to MBA/MFA Producing and still haven't heard back from them. Anyone else with me thinking/hoping that it's too soon to be losing hope?

 

[Julian Walker]

hey all. I spoke with Susan Carnival (i too am nervous as hell waiting on an interview call) because I wanted to send in an updated transcript for inclusion in my app, and she said that there is no need to panic. she said they have not finished contacting people for interviews and still have some candidates to review. so i imagine it may go on for a aouple weeks. she also said that they usually invite around 100 applicants to interview. also, she mentioned how around this time people start saying things on the internet that make people nervous if they havent got their calls lol so dont worry just yet. hope this helps! and congrats to all of you who have already got that call!!!

 

[stara]

Lol, this 'thread' thing is really one of the worst things you can do to yourself.

 

[Juli]

You bet that helps, Julian! THANK YOU!
I wrote Susan an e-mail a couple hours ago. I guess she is getting all kinds of "I'm freaking out" mails and phone calls.
Stara, you are so right. We should promise ourselves not to look at this thread again but what's the point of making a promise we know we are not going to keep, right?
Hope "Lost" tonight helps you keep your thoughts off this waiting hell for an hour!

 

[stara]

yea well... we're still here posting, counting down the days till we get that confirmation (at least my rosy world believes its a letter of acception!).
And Julian, thank you! *virtual hug*
This college application business is a *****.

We're all smart!
Accept us!

Julian,

I cannot thank you enough! You have calmed my fears. Thank you THANK YOU.

Haha, I think I might need to take a break from SF, but lets see how long I can manage to stay away.
