NYU Tisch MFA Film 2014 applicants

[Ovsanna]

Hi guys,
I recieved an interview invitation from Susan Carnival yesterday.
When I got the email I was sure that was rejection letter, but they surprised me. I couldn't imagine that they will send out invitations this late.

Honestly yes.

Hey how sure are you? I mean did you ask the school or it is just an assumption based on the previous batches?

@Ovsanna Congrats!!!!!!!!! Their interview isn't easy, prepare yourself. Best of luck.
@Sunny2511 Just assumption.

Congratulations, Ovsanna! I'm sure you'll do great. This has been said a million times before, but it really is like a conversation. You can tell they just want to get to know you and the films you hope to make. And their questions really stem from your answers. Sending you good vibes!

I was thinking they'd probably start to send notifications out next week, but if they're still sending out interview requests, who knows! haha Good luck everyone--we'll all know soon enough!

thanks a lot for information and kind wishes
But there's something bothering me. Susan Carnival wrote to me that 3 members of the faculty are going to interview me, but prior to that I will have a short meeting with the Chair's assistant. Are all applicants have this many interviewers???

Yup! It was the exact same for me. I think that's the standard way they do things.

Well, that's encouraging, thanks

Hey guys, happy to say I was just accepted to NYU for the MFA in screenwriting I was not interviewed so I really wasn't expecting this. If anyone else who got accepted wants to talk, just PM me, I could use a sounding board-- I actually have some decisions to make!

Same here! Didn't interview so I was really shocked (still shocked). I got waitlisted at AFI, and was starting to think I wouldn't get in anywhere. Congrats! I'm waiting to hear from a couple other schools, but leaning towards taking the offer. Are you planning on living in grad school housing?

What? How is that even possible? Hahahha congrats!
When i was there they told me the interview was the third phase of a process! But i'm applying to direction... So that's probably it... Maybe? Hahahhaha they told me they will probably have the results by the first days of apri!
But with these news i'm super nervous!

Btw, how did they told you? Mail? Email? Phone?

I got accepted in the dramatic writing program, and looking at past threads it looks like they don't interview everyone they admit. So I would guess it's different for directing? Best of luck! They informed me via email. There was a letter attached in the email that was kind of a rough outline of my financial aid and stuff.

I'm going to wait until I hear from Columbia to make my decision. If I do end up going to NYU would love to get in contact with the folks here that are also going. Both those in the film program and the dramatic writing.

I might--message me?

Also to those who asked, I got an email with a PDF and then got a letter the next day

Sorry to double-post, but does anyone who has been to NYU or who has knowledge of the school/industry have any insight as to whether it would be worth it to go to NYU if my career goal is to end up in LA? I am really leaning towards NYU, but I want to eventually make the move out to California, and I'm afraid I won;t have the industry connections from NYU. Any insight, anybody?
