[croissant]

Has anybody had their official letter/any update on the portal/any scholarship info? I know it's still the morning in NY but I'm so anxious lol

Just got my official letter in the portal!

Just got a notification that I've been waitlisted. Congratulations to all of you that were admitted!

Same on the waitlist front. I have a question, they say that the waitlist could run through may and even summer but I need to accept/reject my place at other programs ive been offered a stop at before April 15th so how does that work??
I've emailed them but maybe someone has better insights

Does anyone know how many people are on the waitlist (approximately?)

Just in this group there’s 5 of us waitlisted, so probably 8-10? Who knows haha. Edit to add there's 7 of us in the waitlist according to this forum.

I was denied after an interview. Thought I'd share my short film anyways just so people can see what level interviews usually are.

Has anyone heard anything about financial aid packages? Like when and where we should expect them to be released?

My acceptance letter just came in! And a $25,000 scholarship (absolutely have no idea where I'll find the rest of that money from at the moment ).The deadline to accept or deny is the 17th April btwsame

same here, seems the maximum amount they gave is 25,000?

I believe so. The breakdown is scholarship info is on this page:

Just got my acceptance letter along with a scholarship offer! Didn’t get a call but probably missed it since I’m in China lol

 

[abdullahshahid]

Also got the scholarship of $25,000. I knew it would be unaffordable even with the aid they will give me esp since the dollar exchange rate in my country, Pakistan, is absolutely terrible since we are on the brink of defaulting. Any international students have any idea how they are going to cover the rest of the tuition?

There’re def some out-of-school scholarships that you can apply to. I’m also trying to see if there’re any teaching assistant opportunities.

If you know any good ones, please let me know! I know there is fulbright but you have to apply to that separately before and since I did my undergrad in the US, I have a very very low chance of getting it. I'm also wondering about TA opportunities but they did mention that the workload for the school is very intensive so you can't really do other things with it

just out of curiosity, for those of you who were shortlisted for interviews and/or got offered, did you guys submit the application before or after their recommended 15 November date?
