[Trespasser]

hey congrats TD on emerson (and tisch of course), but I feel that I should give you a warning (if for whatever reason you decide to go to Emerson): being in the honors program myself, it SUCKS (most classes at least). Just a heads up (in case you go there).

 

[Josh]

Got accepted to Emerson, Ithaca, Hampshire, and Colorado. I'm probably going to Emerson (after I take a year off).

 

[suspectx]

Accepted:
Art Center College of Design (Masters Degree of Film Program)


Denied:
Applied to no other school except Art Center.


I've checked out a lot of other Film Schools and I didn't want to apply to any of them until I was certain I wanted to attend them. I was really impressed with the Art Center and so I applied to their Masters Degree program and got accepted.

I've wanted to attend the Art Center for a while now and I finally finished my Bachelors at the University of Utah, so the next step was to apply. My twin brother got accepted to Art Center as well and we're both attending at the same time. The school is located in Pasadena CA: www.artcenter.edu

Congratulations to all those who have been accepted to other schools, a lot of them do require you to send in a personal film portfolio, essay's, photography examples, and most of all talent! Overall it can be pretty difficult sometimes. So great job everyone!!

I'm still waiting on scholarship info...I'm crossing my fingers.

Yeah... I sent a 10 minute reel, consisting of a trailer and the best bits of my 120 minute feature. I'm going to send it into this site soon.

Trespasser... thanks for warning me! What exactly is wrong with it? I am leaning towards NYU at the moment... but Emerson is tempting me with that scholarship and the option to do semesters in the netherlands and LA.

I was rejected to all the film schools for MFA in Screenwriting that I applied to. However, UCLA e-mailed me and interviewed me in NYC last Friday. Hopefully I get in. However, if not, they said that they only chose the best to interview, and those who don't get in to apply to the Certificate Program, since all the people interviewed will get in over those who apply to it and weren't called on interviews.


So yeah, UCLA, hopefully is where I end up. If not for my MFA in Screenwriting, then to get my certificate in it.

 

[titaniumdoughnut]

YES! Another Massachusetter Welcome Mark, and congrats on that, and good luck.

Cool, suspectx, I go to Art Center too. Damn good school (with certain flaws) but alot of great work comes from there. Just be prepared to be a little disenchaneted first term. It's designed to seperate the wimps from the truly capable.

 

[alex c]

it seems as tho everyone got into emerson but me. i feel like a complete toolbox now. i was so hell bent on going there. wait listed sucks.

 

[suspectx]

Hey video_filmmaker, yeah I've been to the classes a few times, a few of my friends go to Art Center as well. I tried Judith's class a couple times...She doesn't take crap from anyone, I noticed you have to stay on your toes in her class.

“Certain flaws” yeah, I have a few thoughts of what those flaws are i.e. old desks. Overall I love the school, and what I've seen with it's staff. I'm excited to attend.

Accepted:

Boston University
NYU Tisch
Hampshire
Binghamton
Vassar
McGill

Rejected:

Cornell
Brown

Waitlisted:

Columbia



I'll probably go to Vassar. NYU is just too close to home.....literally 3 blocks away.

 

[titaniumdoughnut]

Alex... don't worry. Everyone but ME was accepted to Hampshire

You might get my spot at Emerson if I go to NYU

 

[Badr]

I am a student from Morocc.I applied to USC,CHAPMAN,CALARTS,LMU AND LACC as a freshman.Can someone tell me if the admission decisions are posted somewhere on the net???,

 

[Wildchats]

I applied to Film Programs and was rejected by:


Emerson College--Mostly because they don't have screenwriting as an MFA program and only an elective, and I think they knew I wanted Screenwriting over Creative.

Chapman University- Well...my GRE sucked

Loyola Marymount University- Well...my GRE sucked

Boston University-Well...my GRE sucked

USC- Well...my GRE sucked

Columbia University- Damn! I thought maybe they'd like my ideas for the Melrose Place Reunion treatment, and they don't want the GRE.



I was interviewed by UCLA..they don't look at the GRE either...I don't know if I am making the final cut. However, if not, I'll get into the Certificate Program for sure.



So the person who got rejected to Emerson, you're not alone. I applied for Creative Writing, not Film at that school, but Screenwriting is an elective in that, related to Film...so blah. Yeah, I shoulda never applied there. It's not a school for screenwriting.

The classes are very hard and annoying sometimes, because it gets in the way of your major (in your case, and mine: film) - which is what you really should be concentrating on. Thankfully, you don't take film production classes until first or second semester of sophomore year, so I'll definitely be dropping the honors program then.

titaniumdoughnut, semesters in The Netherlands?
Were? how do you meen?
I live in the Netherlands, do you meen by the Filmacademie in Amsterdam?
Or....?

 

[titaniumdoughnut]

Thanks Trespasser... mind if I contact you on AIM and ask a few questions some time?

Jerry, Emerson College in Boston Massachusetts (USA) offers students enrolled in the Honors program the option to take one semester in the Netherlands (Castle Well... I think) or one in LA.

 

[Nervous Larry]

Anyone else going to NYU? Talk to me because the city scares/confuses me.

Oke, i did understand that you can take a semester in The Netherlands, and i understand that The Netherlands is like a big city for people in the USA but, i meen, were do you go?
"we" dont have a big movie industry here, and we have only 1 filmacademie, so i think that if you take a semester, that shall be on the filmacademie?
