@ArmOff I will interview one day after you and probably even fly to New York. Will you fly too or Skype instead? If you come we should definitely meet for a coffee in NYC.

Everybody else: We're not sure they're done sending. Just have a look at last years thread. There's still hope for you.

Hey Kaschko, I'm your lurky co-applicant. I'm having my interview the 1.st, do you want to meet in ny? That would be so great EJ

I'll arrive Thursday the 23rd AM and will leave on Sunday. Still hoping for some insight on the cinematography interview . . . any word? Also- what are you guys wearing to interviews?

Hi all! I have also been a lurker up until this point. I just got my email to come in for an interview yesterday and I called Susan to schedule it today. My focus is cinematography, does anyone know how many will be interviewed for this focus/ what the interview/ questions will be like? Is anyone else here applying for the cinematography focus? Also- what is the dress code for the interviews?
Congrats to everyone moving forward!

Hi Ivvaladao! I'm having my interview on march 1.st - would you like to meet for a coffe if you come to NY? Maybe we'll be able to find some other who are doing the interview too, then we can calm each other. Or bite nails together. Anyway, write me! EJ

Hey Gals and Boys. To you who haven't (yet) got an invitation for an interview it is important to think about that it is just a school. Not all of those admitted to Tisch become succesful at what they want to do. Not all of those admitted to filmschools in general are succesful. And many of the most succesful filmakers NEVER went to film school. Just find out what the people who inspire you did to get where they are now. And take what you can use from their experiences. If anyone would like to join, I've made a facebook group for the applicants, so we can meet in NY for the interview, it's called "MFA Film 2012 Applicants". Hope you'll join.

@siverback15 and @FilmForest

I applied to the dual degree and received an invitation to the interview a couple of weeks ago... It will be on the 21st via skype.

I hope you guys will get one too

Best of luck!

That's great Mocha I sincerely hope you wow them on your interview.

For the rest of us dual-ers, the waiting game continues...

Just scheduled an interview for March 1st. I wanted to do it earlier, but Susan said that late february places are taken and the ones that are not taken are for screenwriting people. She said they try to put at least one professor from the chosen concentration for the interview so late February ones are for those who chose screenwriting. Thought maybe this would be interesting for you guys .

@ArmOff - I assume you mean Susan said late Feb interviews were reserved for Tisch Production applicants who indicated they were interested in Screenwriting (i.e., not for applicants to the Tisch Dramatic Writing Program). Can you confirm?

 

[Mocha]

Hi silverback15,

Thank you very much for your kind words
I know the wait sucks but don't lose hope!

 

[ArmOff]

@dmtr

No she she didn't mean dramatic writing, she meant students who have applied to Filmmaking program with that concentration.

@Mocha

Congrats on the interview! Do you know how the dual degree interview process works? Did you receive separate requests from Stern and Tisch or is it just one interview?

Also, did you submit to Stern by the November or January deadline?

 

[Seoulless]

On the application, was screenwriting was not directly listed, right? From what I remember there was only Directing, Cinemeatography, editting and something else.

 

[Mocha]

Hi Filmforest,

I think the interview is separated. I only got the notification from tisch, do I believe it's only for the MFA. I applied to the january deadline and I think I'll have to wait until April to hear back since the notification of interview deadline is april 1st. I hope this helps!

Hello everyone,

I'm new here. I was also invited for the interview at NYU (MFA Directing), and was wondering if anyone have any idea of what will the faculty ask us during the interview. Do they invite more than 36 people, or only the ones they want to attend the MFA?

Thank you and hope to meet you guy's soon.

Hello my fellow aspiring filmmakers. I got an email asking for an interview on Feb 8th at 1:19pm from Susan Carnival. I called her to set up a time and she was very nice. My interview will be on the 27th and I applied to the directing discipline. Are there any directing hopefuls out there with interviews/ still waiting?

Just have a look at this thread, it's crowded with these people
Congratulations to your interview! I'll arrive in New York one day after you have your interview and will have mine a few days later. Good luck!
