Hello everyone I just want to know something I recieved an email saying that my transcript was missing a few weeks ago and they also told me my portfolio was strong enough to make it to the second round I want to know is someone just pulling my leg?

 

[pinsandneedles]

So have the rest of us not made it to round two?

 

[ridzk]

...have not heard anything yet...I am already mourning.

 

[ridzk]

...anyways, anybody else received a mail lately?

@sunwukong13

hey have you sent in your transcript?? you should really get on with it if you haven't because i remember reading something a couple of years back about someone who received the same email as you, and after he/she sent in the transcript he/she received an interview!

@everyone here

haven't received anything either. i already am mourned out haha... thought about my application and the more i think about it the more i think i didn't show my full potential at all, and since i only spent about 3 rushed weeks re-editing my films and writing scripts i don't think i should expect an interview this year. oh well, am just gonna re-apply at the end of the year! cheer up everyone! interview or not its not the be-all and end-all of things!

 

[pinsandneedles]

They are really taking their sweet time.

What are the dates for the interviews to be conducted? As in when do they begin, and by when do they end?

 

[Sara Suri]

So i guess we have just about a week left to keep our hopes high? :\
This is reeallllyyy depressing.
Im going to call Susan Carnival on tuesday...

NYU doesn't give out any information about the notification period. Usually they always have a wait-list. Hoping all of us will atleast make it to the interview round !
Cheers

To sooth some nerves for a little while:

I spoke with NYU, and this is what they have to say - applications are considered on a rolling basis. First submitted, first reviewed. And it is in this order that they send out an interview call. And all of this is wrapped in about a week to 10 days.

So yes, throughout the next week interview calls can be expected to be sent out.

*gasps*

 

[Sara Suri]

Im not sure about NYU or any of the school's in the States. But at least in UK, this is what happens in the case of a rolling applications system- first submitted, first reviewed. Post which the candidate is accepted or rejected. When the sears are full, the application process is wrapped up. If the candidates selected dont accept the offer, the applicant next in line is called.
So does this mean that the seats can fill up before ALL apps are even reviewed in the first place (if its like a first come first serve sort of situation.)

okay maybe im just over analyzing.

I contacted the admissions department regarding the interview process and this is what they sent me :

Dear Sara,

The Graduate Admissions Office is completely out of the interview process. Your folder was handed over to the Graduate Film Department in December so that you could be reviewed by them along with your portfolio as submitted through Slide Room.

As you know, the Department will select roughly 100-110 of the 300 or so applicants who made it to the second round. Those that did not make it past the first round will be notified Tuesday or Wednesday. Hopefully you are not in this group.

The Department I believe is still in the process of reaching out to a third of the second round and inviting them to interviews. I wish I had something more definite for you in terms of the process but we are beholden to the Department for information. Until and unless you hear something to the contrary, you should assume you candidacy for admission is still viable.

Most, if not all of the decisions for the 720 aspirants seeking admission will be concluded by the third week of March. Again, this is all completely dependent on the Department of Graduate Film.

Thanks a ton Sara. That is possibly the most useful information I've heard so far. It's reassuring to hear the stats.

I'm just curious, the mail says "As you know, the Department will select roughly 100-110 of the 300 or so applicants who made it to the second round."

Are we actually supposed to know this? Did they send out a communication of sorts telling us about the process and the number of students who get shortlisted? Because there's nothing on the website, and everything that we know is essentially hearsay.

Good luck to everyone.

 

[Sara Suri]

Hahah, no, i doubt we were supposed to know about the "100-110" number.
Oh and I don't think we are going to be informed if we dont make it to round 2 either. If we don't get an interview email/call, we would directly get the rejection mail, i guess. (HOPEFULLY NOT).

But I guess it's just better to wait it out.

 

[ridzk]

..hey thanks Sara..this helps a lot!!

 

[mikeymike602]
