NYU Tisch 2013

[TrilogyFan]

Patience indeed. It is hard, the waiting, no doubt! But I have to say that, for me, compared to the torture of putting together six different applications, all with different requirements for transcripts, test scores and writing samples, I am feeling fairly light of heart.

So let's all rejoice in the fact that we got all our stuff in on time and it's out of our hands, at least for now. Possible?

 

[benselt]

I agree, TrilogyFan. I still have one more application to finish up - due February 1st - and then it's alll waiting. I should feel more relieved, but as February creeps in, it's getting hard! We should be getting emails or calls about interviews within the next couple of weeks, from what I've gathered looking at past forums.

General Question - Has anyone gotten recent hits on their film reels? Vimeo is telling me I received 2 plays this week and it has me sweating! The plays aren't from slideroom, which has me nervous...but I can't imagine who else would be watching.

I'm applying to the MFA in Production with a concentration in Directing, by the way. I've been creeping on this forum for a while now Good luck to all of you! Let's hang in there!

How do you tell where your Vimeo plays are coming from? Do you have to upgrade to plus or pro?

 

[DeathDealer]

It might be fun to share our visual submissions from Vimeo or Youtube? Considering we're all budding filmmakers, I'm sure the opinions would be quite astute and beneficial.

@deathdealer: Umm, I'm sorry, but I recall sharing one of my written submissions with you over a month ago (upon your request) and you never bothered to share yours in return or offer feedback.

..Hey...does anybody know if NYU sends out any mail if you dont make it for the interview round or one has to just assume that if they dont get to hear anything? I am freakin nervous.

 

[benselt]

@ridzk I don't think we will be notified for not making it to the interview round...but if we don't get a call by the end of February I would plan to expect the worst and not wait for the April rejection letter. I am really nervous too!

It's February, things are getting real/surreal!

 

[ridzk]

...Benselt: thank you..now I know what to expect if I don't hear anything till next week.Well goodluck to you..

By the way...Any update? Anyone? Any calls yet?? tell us...tell us...

 

[TonyJr]

So two weeks more and we will know who is in the first line for the interview!))

Hi everyone, in short - film production/directing here. Believe or not, only one application, Tisch.
Let's not piss in our pants; with 5% selection rate everyone has a chance. Let's meet @campus one day))

Good luck and thanks for keeping this thread alive. It does really help, like "you are not alone"

glad to see you guys here! I called last week and heard they had not started making interview calls yet.

crossing fingers for me and all of us!

 

[HI FILM]

Hey guys, I learned a lot from this forum that is why I wanted to share. Now I am at NYU studying film MFA. Today, I just learned that they will start calling people about the interviews in 1,5 days. Be patient and good luck

 

[film888]

@HI FILM
that's nerve-wracking! what do you mean by 1,5 days? do you mean 1-5 days?

 

[HI FILM]

No I mean one and a half day. I saw Susan (who will call you) in the elevator and she told that.

 

[liarelaw]

Super nerve-wracking indeed! Thanks for your sharing!

 

[Robin101]

Oh my goodness, my stomach just did a quadruple flip reading that. I don't think I will be able to sleep at all this weekend.

 

[Robin101]

So, now I'm compulsively checking my Slideroom submission to remind myself that I maybe have some talent to receive an interview and I realized that although my visual submission loads, it won't play. This explains why Vimeo is telling me that someone from Tisch loaded it, but never watched it. At the time, I assumed it was some glitch in the system, but obviously that's not true. Do you think the person decided to watch it on Vimeo and that accounts for one of my few random plays or that person was in a too-bad-so-sad kind of mood and just moved on? Anyone else have this problem? I figure it's pointless to call/email now if they have already decided on who they're inviting.

 

[HI FILM]

Don't worry Robin, I have friends accepted even without a load. If faculty is satisfied with your written material, they don't even go and check your visual submission. Good luck, hope I can help you when you guys come for interview.

 

[jennifer.hightower2]

Hi film. They will be calling? What about emails?

Also, I was just curious what other universities you guys applied to in addition to NYU. I'm waiting to hear from UCLA and UT Austin; but, everyone knows NYU is the best. Right?

 

[benselt]

@jennifer

I applied to UT Austin as well, in addition to Columbia College, Boston University and American University.

I actually started a discussion here about other schools without their own forums. I have yet to here back from anyone too and have been vehemently checking my email inbox - which I didn't know could be a vehement activity until recently! I am so anxious, nervous and excited... Let's hope some of us get calls today!

 

[pinsandneedles]

Has anyone received an interview call yet? I wonder how many people they call. Maybe they have to stretch it out over a couple of days, or maybe the blizzard is delaying the process!
