The NYU Thread: 2015

[Nalcsart]

I'm also international. I got the email yesterday Friday. I almost missed it though cause it didn't say NYU on the title. It was sent by someone in the admissions office called Peter Gerena ( or something like that).

 

[Nalcsart]

Did you get your emails?

Just received my rejection letter...

All the best and congrats to everyone that is heading off to NYU Tisch!

Got my rejection from NYU as expected at this stage. Boo!

Yeah...not the best feeling in the world, but its also not the end of the world. I'm already considering to reapply. I'm still feeling iffy about Cal Arts.

I'm also tempted to email admissions to see if they have anything specific that I need to work on.

Nonetheless...we applied, tried our best and that's all we can ask for...and remember, this doesn't have any definite weight on your future in this industry. Keep going at it!

Oh thanks, Nalcsart! Can I ask where you chose to go in the end? Very well done to you!

 

[Nalcsart]

Thanks! Well I'm definitely leaning towards Columbia, but AFI is also a good choice and more affordable so it depends on what loans I can get… I haven't seen a lot of AFI films but I'm going to do it over the next week.

Anyone one else still waiting on NYU? Arghh. Guessing tomorrow or the next day will be the decider, when we know if there are spaces on the course... Is there ANYONE else still waiting...?

 

[Jeremy St.Romain]

Nalcsart, you did very well getting into schools. I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about the process? Let me know if you are open to that?

 

[Nalcsart]

Sure! Send me a private message and we'll exchange emails! @Jeremy St.Romain

I thought I'd come back to let everyone know that I was accepted and will be attending Tisch this fall for the MFA in Film Production.

Well, I'm in the Graduate Film Program so SATs weren't required. It's important though that he focuses on having a strong personal statement. Not really sure how it works at the undergrad level. Arian is in the grad program as well.
