Hi all,

I was told by Cheri that there was no ranking involved. I checked the email again and I didn't see any mention of rank at all. What did your guys' emails say? It is a harsh process indeed, but we made it pretty far this time, hope for next year? Who knows.

Weird, this is what my email said, "you will become eligible for admission based on your Wait List ranking"

Who knows. Harsh for sure.

I just got off the phone with Cheri and she said we aren't ranked. I'm confused. She said that when spots open the faculty meets to decide who should take the spot.

They do usually try to put classes together not just by stats, etc, but by who they think will work well together, etc....you're a person, not a number. The highest GPA doesn't necessarily mean you'll fit in with the rest of the group they've selected.

Ah, the waitlist.

Been there guys, and lived to tell the tale...I got bumped off of two.

Root root rooting for all of ya.

to those accepted,

when do you have to let them know your decision?

congrats!!

Thanks Jayimess and momotato also...seeing as they have to deliberate again I'm guessing we'll know a definite answer by the end of April.

Jesster, Cheri told me the applicants have to make their decisions by April 15th.

I just got a phone call from becky smith, I have been moved off the wait list and accepted into the program. Anyone else hear?

 

[kosnopfl]

congratulations momotomato! no word yet over here.

 

[ninth_solstice]

Congratulations momotato, that's great news! No news over here for me either...I hope that doesn't mean I'm out of the running.

 

[momotato]

Ninth_solstice, don't freak out until a few days after the 15th.

 

[kosnopfl]

momotomato, I saw in an earlier post that you interviewed with Goldovskaya, was that for directing or cinematography? Thanks and congrats again!

 

[momotato]

Directing.
