I was rejected today. Hurt a lot.

I don't think going to a film school should be something that can hurt, if you think that getting that rejection hurts then wait until you make a film that should be your main focus anyways. I got rejected too but in the grand scheme of things all of the applicants that applied are all capable if not some are actually more capable than the ones who were accepted. It just comes down to random selection, don't worry you are great.

Just had my interview. I felt it went well, but I was really nervous.

I know getting rejected hurts. I got rejected from UT Austin (and I really wanted to go to that school) and UCLA. Just remember, tons of AMAZING filmmakers were rejected from film schools. You will make films no matter what - just hang on to that.

 

[Robin101]

@Jennifer who did you interview with?

 

[GradStudentMFA]

I too had my interview today (this morning)...I'm beating myself up over how I responded to some of the questions, but alas - not much to do now. Overall it I believe it went well, I was myself and had an amazing panel of faculty, including the chair who really made me feel welcome.

@Robin101 - I had my interview with John Tintori, Gail Segal and Jay Anania

 

[wannabe13]

@GradSTudent: Why do you feel that way about your responses? Any examples?

 

[jennifer.hightower2]

I interviewed with John Tintori, Barbara Schock, and Peter Stein. They were incredibly nice. I flubbed up too - it's the nerves. I think if you're NOT nervous during the interview something is wrong. They understand people are nervous I'm sure.

My biggest problem was I started answering the questions before I 100% processed what was being asked, HAHA. John had to repeat a question twice once because I drifted off topic. THat is embarrassing - but the butterflies were eating the lining of my stomach. What are ya gonna do?

Any who, I guess it'll be a couple of weeks until we find out if we get in or not. Fingers crossed for everyone - I know this is one of the hugest moment of some of our lives.

any dramatic writing applicant rejected?

I heard nothing

 

[MFA2013]

Hi everyone

I've also applied for DW and have heard nothing - no interviews, rejection/acceptance. Has anyone had interviews for DW? Or heard anything yet?

 

[Sassicash]

I saw on a different forum that one person was getting an interview. I'm also a dw applicant. Screenwriting concentration.

 

[tmt]

Really?
I thought there were no interviews for DW applicants.

[Sassicash]

That's what I thought. Go to page 9 of this forum and one of the people posted a link to the forum I'm talking about. Just skip all the way to the end. He made it sound like its because he's a local.

 

[MFA2013]

Hope they will let us know soon! Anyone know about funding - do they give merit based scholarships?

 

[Sassicash]

Yes they do. I was accepted last year, but turned it down for financial reasons. They gave me a 16k scholarship that time around.

 

[duders]

If you did get in - I'd expect that you'd hear before the end of the week.

They usually decide on the class before Spring Break at NYU. At least that's what you could glean from these forums in the past.

Of course, if you are on the waitlist, that doesn't necessarily mean that you got rejected.

 

[finalcutbro]

@duders thanks for the info! Good luck everyone!
