NYU (NY) 2010 (1 Viewer)

Also another reason that this **** makes no goddamn sense: The MFA/MBA program is supposedly run as a collaboration between the two schools. I've contacted the business school several times to see if they can tell me when an interview might be so I don't have to take off work to fly thousands of miles across country, twice. Their responses are just, sorry not yet. What would it be like attending the program if they can't even line up the interviews? And what's the point of interviewing at Tisch (hypothetically, of course) if you're not going to even get an interview at Stern? Hmmmm???

If you get into one program and not the other--for example accepted at Tisch and rejected at Stern--then they still let you pursue the degree for which you were accepted.

I haven't heard anything from Stern either, and I doubt I will before I have my Tisch interview a week from today. In fact, my Stern application wasn't nearly as strong as my Tisch, so I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't get into Stern.

When I went to the session at Tisch they said that they aren't really making a habit of accepting people into only one of the programs. I have a strong MBA application (raised VC to run a games studio for several years) so since I got an interview at Tisch I'm sort of expecting to get one at Stern too I guess. Heh.

But yeah, with all the conflicting information that everyone is getting I guess we can really only wait. Homer is right, the waiting game sucks.

Hey guys no calls yet ? Well, will see

no call yet...I was hoping for one this week, or at least a letter of rejection, but nothing yet...

NYU, I DO NOT want you be my valentine, thank you very much!

 

[why cinema]

Hey guys,
This week will be the last round i guess.Good luck. Be ready to the good news or bad news.
why cinema?.

 

[apex]

What's your source, Why Cinema? I guess that's good, whichever way things turn out...

TSOA's student affairs and graduate admissions office have extended hours of operation each Monday from 9:00am to 8:00pm. I think it is safe to assume that there will be a fresh wave of calls pertaining to scheduling interviews this Tuesday and Monday. Good luck to those who have not heard the good word yet.

Hope everyone had a pleasant weekend.

Scratch that, this Monday is Presidents Day, I apologize for the misleading information, but at least I know now that I have one more day off from work

damn do I hate capitalism

Hey guys. I've just registed this site and this is my first post. I would like to give each of you a big big hug!

I applied for NYU Film MFA program too, didn't hear news from them yet. It's the second day of the New Year in China, and I've going through sooo much. When I checked the site an hour ago, I relized what's going on, and the next following days may be the turning point of my life. So I got a little bit nervous, thought about 'what if I can't get their interview?'

Then I scratched a pack of cigarette, went out alone, walked in the snow storm, and cooled myself down.
If I can hear from them by the end of this week, I guess I'm lucky enough, and I'll try my best to grasp that opportunity. If I don't, I will get myself really drunk one night, and re-start when I wake up.
The chances will never disappear as long as we have that dream in our heart.
So, to those who had already get phonecalls, fight for your bright future, and I'll see your film in Oscar, Cannes, Berlin and Venice.
To those like me, who didn't hear anything from NYU yet, no matter what is waiting for us, embrace it!

Hi guys, i have just registered for this site, it's an amazing site, very helpful. I wish I could have found this site before I sent in the applications...

I applied for NYU film production program too, congradz to those who have heard from them.

it seems like the notifications are given a week ago, i have not heard anything from them yet, has the notification period ended? does that mean i am all out of my luck now, or should i still be hopeful?

my video submission was really bad as i see, will my writings save me from that? ahhhhh...it's killing me...

good evening all. this feels strangely like christmas eve for me considering the theory that NYU will be making more calls at the beginning of this week. (emphasis on theory since we have no idea how this stuff really works)

its like...will i get that new Power Rangers toy!? or will i get socks? Will it snow!? or will it just be cold and annoying for no damn reason?

whatever the case. i'm anxious to see whatever santa leaves for me tomorrow under my inbox tree.

 

[JusTaNaPpLe]

anyone else heard from NYU since today? i am losing my hope already...

 

[etone112]

anyone heard anything about an interview for dramatic writing?

 

[Neville26]

nothing yet, etone. but if you wanna join the NYU DRAMATIC WRITING thread...check that out. i'll post something so it comes up on the right side (current postings) list.

Keeping us hypnotized with useless public relations jargon, so the good prospective graduate students remain complacent, and simply don't take matters into their own hands and riot in Greenwich Village demanding answers now.

Susan must be the equivalent to Goebbels.

I'm still waiting too! Right now I'm working on a feature length script I'm going to submit to the Nicholl's contest, like I did last year. For those of you who want to write a longer script, the deadline is a really good motivator!

The forum from last year indicates that prospective applicants received their calls earlier than us. I'm surprised that only five people on this forum were called, but a) they may not be finished calling and b) due to the recession, applications to grad schools are up everywhere, so the process is probably much more competitive this year.

Side note: Is anyone else as excited about the new Movies on YouTube feature as I am? Most of the titles don't interest me, but they do have a few classics. I'm thrilled that I can now watch His Girl Friday in full online for free! And they have a ton of Bollywood movies and documentaries.

Has to be better then the wasteland of films refereed to as Netflix's "Watch Instantly," even though occasionally I find a diamond in the rough.
