[icygee]

Someone might want to make a separate thread for Dramatic Writing concerns so these poor Grad Film folk can breathe.

Hahahahaha! Thanks @icygee

did you apply as a television writer?

No, applied as feature film writer.

 

[Christopher Gooley]

Did anyone who got interviewed for dramatic writing submit as a television writer?

I'm wondering the same thing. Still no word for me from NYU dramatic writing, and I applied as a TV writer as well.

Christopher, would you want to make a separate thread for us NYU dramatic writing hopefuls?

If I knew how to do that.... Funny I work at Apple and have no idea how to make a damn thread LOL

What did you write for as for television.

I submitted an original spec script and a spec for family guy.

Hey, guys!

I'm a bit of a lurker here, but I submitted as a TV writer and received an email notification for an interview last night. I'm interviewing later today. Hope this helps! Good luck everyone!

Who are you interviewing with?

 

[Chris K]

Hi @Moirae! Thanks for the info. I emailed Susan Carnival yesterday, and I'm still waiting for her to get back to me. When she does, I'll put up the info on this thread.

No news from Susan Carnival since last Monday, so I emailed her back this morning. Turns out she's out of office today ... arfff

@Chris K I have a huge feeling they're done with interviews, for Grad Film at least. So if we haven't made that final round, then I don't think there's any other option unless our portfolios said enough. I haven't gotten an interview yet, don't think I will. Decisions usually go out the week of the 12th.

That's most likely true @HBG. But I prefer facts to feelings, so I'm not assuming anything before a rejection email lands in my inbox.

Funny you should mention that. I was under the impression Tisch interviews all Graduate Film finalists. Basically, no interview = not a finalist = rejection. That's no the case for instance in Dramatic Writing, where you could be a finalist without being interviewed.

Is there anything I'm not aware of regarding Grad Film?

Did you get an interview for Grad Film? I mean, there's a chance that you could be a finalist and not get an interview, but that's VERY rare, could be the case for any school. But again, even if they were extremely interested in you, and you didn't really require an interview, wouldn't they want to meet you?

Nope. Nothing yet, either way.

I don't think that's how Tisch Grad Film works @HBG. On their dedicated FAQ page, there's a question about whether all applicants are interviewed and the answer is that "a small group of semi-finalists are invited to interview by the faculty."

That's why I asked you whether there was something I wasn't aware of. I thought maybe you had information we didn't.

But again, even if they were extremely interested in you, and you didn't really require an interview, wouldn't they want to meet you?

Of course they would! And I would want to be interviewed as well. In my experience, being accepted into a graduate program without a proper interview can have drastic consequences. I'd avoid it at all cost.

Just got my rejection letter, I think they're starting to roll out

Was it an email?

Was it an email?

It was an email with a link to their application website.

Best of luck to everybody else!

Anyone hear back yet?
