UCLA 2009

[fiorile]

Some friends got rejection letter from UCLA, the email told them to check the application status online. Does anybody get the interview notification/accepted?

good luck

 

[steelyd]

My application status still just says "submitted."

I don't think everyone gets rejected at the same time, just like not everyone gets accepted at the same time. They review based on when applications were submitted and probably go through several cycles. Think of it like American Idol!

And yes, I immediately checked my status, haha. It just says "submitted".

I received an email last night saying they wanted me to go for my interview the first week of march. So they must be sending out the first wave of notifications

 

[SimAlex]

i've heard nothing.

 

[Jbomb11]

magicmyk...what program did you apply for?

 

[magicmyk]

The Producer Program

 

[Jbomb11]

oh, ok thanks...i applied for screenwriting so I just wanted to double check so i'm in the loop, as they say.

i don't really know if "they" say that...but whatever.

 

[Sahirr]

lol... i checked my status too... it says "submitted" nothing else...

fiorile... these friends of yours... what program did they apply for?

Has anyone who applied for MFA Production/Direction gotten an e-mail, letter, etc ?

 

[jpcam]

I haven't heard back either. I applied for Prod./Dir., but that's really exciting if they've started sending out emails! Good luck to everyone!

 

[SimAlex]

anyone know anything about UCLA screenwriting acceptances/rejections/interviews?

 

[Carebear]

Nope...wish I did, though!

 

[fiorile]

To Sahirr, two friends (both are Chinese) received the rejection letters. both applied for MFA film production.

I guess we international students may get the earliest news.

Hey guys...I've been scoping out this site for awhile, it's been so informative and everyone seems lovely. Anyhoo...I applied to the UCLA MFA production/direction course and I received an e-mail today granting me an interview! I've scheduled it for mid March in NYC as I'm flying over from London.

 

[Jbomb11]

congratulations on your interviews, guys! i know there are threads on here with information on UCLA interviews.

As for us screenwriting folks, I guess we keep waiting. after perusing the boards, it looks like emails about interviews come at the end of Feb. It could be different this year, though...so don't quote me.

: )

 

[Manalive]

I'm screenwriting, too. I'll be sure to mention it hear if I hear anything.

 

[magadan]

Do you know if they are done with interview's for NYC for the Producer's Program?

 

[SimAlex]

Whats the vibe with AFI this year? it seems kinda silly for me to be a grip, or boom, when ill never do these things as a writer for tv and film. are there any advantages for this experience??

I don't see how it hurts to get some experience being on-set. You never know. I've never been on a film set before, so I think it could be, as they say, a "learning experience."

Which of these instiutions actually crank out graduates who gets jobs in tv and film.. or do they end up moving back home...

increasingly, i think that's really more about the graduate than the program.

 

[dharmagirl]

I can give you a run down of my experience from last year in Screenwriting. Everything went out via email. I was informed that I had an interveiw on February 23, and my interveiw took place on March 22. On April 2 I was accepted.

It's a great program. If anyone has specific questions feel free to send them my way. Good luck!

One thing that has confused me: does everyone who gets accepted into UCLA get an interview? Or do they accept some people without interviewing them?
