Yesterday, after hours of freaking out because one of my recommenders couldn't upload the letter, I finally submitted the application.

So, good luck everyone!

Just wanted to forward you guys the email from Columbia University which I just received:

"Because of reported technical issues with our online admissions application system, we have decided to extend the application deadline for the MFA Film and MFA Theatre Arts Directing applications to Monday, December 5, 2011 at 5:00pm EST."

Just for all of you who decided only to apply to Tisch before and regret that decision now. Like me.
"Extended Deadline" are definitely my two favorite words of the day.

No one applying to Production?

I sent my applications to columbia and tisch hoping to do my MFA in production concentration and creative producing.

It feels that I have less competition than most of u. Waiting.. will.. be .. a .. drag!

 

[lzfx]

did any of you guys click the "yes" to be considered for tisch asia, as well? i did, and i kind of regret it already. i've received a couple "thanks for your interest/come learn more about our campus" e-mails already and, truthfully, i don't think i'd accept if i got into the singapore program. it's ny campus or bust for me, but i realized that too late. siiiiigh.

I clicked 'no' for this option but hey, no worries, if they want you in NY they'll take you in NY. I guess this option is only interesting for people who don't make it into the program but on the wait list, then theey might get offered a place in Singapore too.

 

[PPK]

Yeah the same thing was true for a couple of my friends.

They didn't get into Supinfocom,France (Animation),they were on the wait list, so they got offered the course in Supinfocom, India.

I chose "No" though.

Hey guys, this is a group of NYU Directing MFA first years, sitting in the editing room right now. We were reminiscing about these days last year when we were all applying, and thought fondly about this forum, haha. We thought we'd reach out to everyone who just applied and send some encouragement! We just finished our first MOS's, the silent short.

This is a holiday list of things everyone in here wanted to say to you:

"Keep your head up"

"Put the link to the Tupac song. Keep your head up!"

"Congratulations for submitting a heck of an application. People TAP OUT because of that application."

"If they don't take you one year, try again - it worked for a bunch of us!"

"If you always wanted to tell a story, go ahead and write it. You can make it here."

"You have to know that it's actually a 5 year program. 3 years of classes/paying, 2 years of thesis."

"You don't have to know professional filmmakers to be a filmmaker. But you WILL learn them."

You will make amazing friends.

Now take a deep breath and relax for the next few months. Think of your stories, write, come up with your future dream films. Watch inspiring films! Keep an idea notebook.

Just because we love films, and not just films we watch for school, here are some random films we recommend as individuals:

Mother (Korean film)

Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Fishtank

Superbad

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

Circumstance, Pariah, or Gun Hill Road - all recent NYU grads!

Gumbo

Midnight in Paris

Coming to America

Do the Right Thing

Man on Wire

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Nobody's Business

Nina's Tragedies

Before Sunrise

Much love, stay busy and have fun - because you won't hear back about interviews until mid/late February. Be creative and come up with inspirations!

Hopefully we'll see you next year on the 10th floor!

 

[PPK]

Haha, amusing that you guys actually came back here to talk to us.

Thanks a lot for the encouragement! Appreciate it. Will see you next year hopefully!

@Insearchof_
Thank you, loved the post. Now I want to get into Tisch even more haha

 

[Guest]

A big thank you into the editing room!
That was a very nice post. How cool you came over to say hello. Glad to see you guys still have a little time left to waste.
Yes, see you on the 10th floor next year, hopefully.

Agreed! Really great post from the current NYU production class. Thanks for the insight and encouragement.

The boards seem quiet, but, if history is any indicator, we'll start getting some posters in the next month or two. Good luck everyone!

Merry Christmas everybody !

 

[Guest]
