NYU Tisch MFA Filmmaking 2012

[RoadDog]

Well, I'm a good old fashioned 'H' so maybe there is hope yet!

Though I know they didn't go by the alphabet when emailing for the interview, so I will also hope for the random approach just in case.

And thanks @LDPro, hard work is definitely what has gotten me this far, so I will keep up with that.

Also, the new episode of Community is on tonight, so if they can make a comeback, so can I!

Hi,

I just joined the forum. I applied to both Tisch MFA filmmaking (cinematography focus) programs in New York and Asia. I have an interview for Tisch Asia next week. My family name starts with W maybe that's why. I just wanted to know if the interview is for both programs or just the Asia one. From what I understand Brusco, you interviewed for Tisch Asia but got accepted in the New York program, right?

Also, if anyone has applied to cinematography focus and has already done the interview, do you have any tips?

Thanks alot!

Ok now I'm like RoadDog! I am overly anxious and literally check my email every second... Oooooh the torture!.... (Pause) my phone just buzzed... *checks email*....nope... nothing. Blah.

@LDPro, I am glad to have set the standard for grad school anxiety. Though your post set off an email phone buzz that set my stomach plummeting, yes the torture is outstanding!

@Tomwood, I can only comment on my own experience and what I have heard first hand from both NYC and Asia reps, but as far as I know, the two application processes are completely separate. The only information they share is the online application, not even the creative portfolio. The interviews are separate as well, they are building two different groups of people in different environments. While NYC may forward applicants to Asia, I was told that the decision making remains separate. I am not commenting on anyone else's admission, this is just what I was told at information sessions for both programs.

As for the interview, I went in for cinematography in NYC and posted about my experience a few pages back in this thread. I can just add, that in my interview they were definitely interested in why I wanted to shoot and not direct, so go in with a clear head and a lot of passion!

I hope that helps, good luck!

Hey Guys! After months of waiting, hoping, and anxiety i am finally accepted. I'm a J, got the news yesterday. Okay, so even if they are doing it alphabetically, there will always be someone who choses other schools although they are accepted, so that mekes space for more people... And im really not sure that the alphabetical order is true, or if they are strict about it, probably not. Anyways, thanks for the help in the forum, you guys are great! I created a group for us,if we need to chat, talk, find a flat etc. (connections, hahaha.) I really hope you will join me; http://www.facebook.com/groups/394322933928470/ The group is called NYU Film 2012. (PLEASE JOIN, i need to see real people behind the names!)

Have a nice weekend, and an even nicer hangover
