UCLA 2010

[EricaLauren]

well i'm sure if you want to go there, there will be plenty of housing options for you to choose from that would be just fine. It is pretty pricey in SB, though. So keep that in mind.

It looks like the final decisions on the Grad programs for UCLA are going out today... so i wonder if they will wait to send out undergrad notifications till monday or if they'll send out those today too...

I take it the weekends don't count and we shouldn't expect notifications during those days? So if Friday is over. I guess I can wait til Monday.

Man...today was such a wasted day for me. I just stayed home all day on my PC when I could have been outside getting some sun or some cardio and it was a great day to go outside... I didn't even do any hw. And now I have work in a bit.

 

[EricaLauren]

i've been sitting at work the entire day just refreshing my email like every ten minutes. pathetic. It worries me, not to be debbie downer but what if none of us got an interview and they notified them today... and so we'll all just wait next week with this anxiety too

Erica Lauren, that is gnarly to hear! I got into sb the other day and am super pumped about it, one of my friends goes to sbcc and raves about the scene down there.

Their film program looks cool too with the new facilities, do you know anything about it?

 

[EricaLauren]

Like I was telling fakeplastic- as far as their social scene..it's great! There is always stuff going on and new people to meet. it's pretty wild.

As far as the program goes, i have a friend that is a film studies major and he said it really is basically film STUDY. In his classes, they aren't very hands on. Now, i don't know if he chose his classes based on what he wants to go into after he gets his BA (screenwriting) or if that's just how most of the classes are...

SBCC has all new facilities as well and lots of very nice equipment..

I haven't heard anything either. I guess next week is the week of revelation.

I applied to UCSD too Oquendo, but not actually to their visual arts major. I've heard bad stuff about it, but I have heard amazing things about UCSD. My older brother went there, and I've had quite a few friends go there who think its got to be one of the best schools they could've chosen. Its a good backup for me, even though I wouldn't be doing their film major. They are supposed to have really intense senior projects there where you can create a special focus and work on something as an individual that you are passionate about (i.e. producing a film/documentary, writing a screenplay, etc.)

I also know that UCI has a film program...but I do not think it is that developed. Although there is a ton of money going into UCI right now, so who knows...

Anyway...feel free to party away all weekend to prepare for the week.

University of Oquendo-Rejected

Haha...wait - I don't get it...

 

[Oquendo]

Hmm...am I the only one of us to spend a Saturday night at home?

Anyways, are any of you applying to NYU? On their website, the deadline is this Thursday(April 1st), I believe, and I am considering it since I don't want put my creative eggs in one basket/school.

The problem is I am kinda spending as I am making these days so 60-70 bucks is a lot for me, plus I'll get more cash from a CA school...I don't know yet, though.

PS - I get the feeling it is going to be an e-mail because I took a peek at the graduate forum for UCLA MFA and they got emails. I doubt they would change the process, right?

 

[EricaLauren]

It's ok oquendo..... i spent my saturday night at home as well..

and i filled out the NYU app but never turned it in because i figured i wouldn't be able to afford that school anyway, so why pay the application fee.

and i saw that on the graduate forum as well... so i think it would be an email!!

anyone have facebook?!

 

[bornfromcelluloid]

I have a fb . I'm getting so scared, it's getting harder to even come onto the forum now . I'm suprised that NYU takes such a late application deadline. I can't join in your discussions for the other schools you applied to since UCLA was my only one. Because I can't hear back from other schools, I have no idea what to even expecttt

 

[Oquendo]

It is Monday...bloody Monday! March 29th!

Will be going to school this morning, then working on scholarship applications, and doing more useless homework on subjects I don't seem to care about anymore...

Good luck guys! Fingers *crossed*

 

[ok2play]

just checked my email and thought i got the email from UCLA but turned out to be an email for UCLA Extension...dang it...

 

[EricaLauren]

ahhhhhhh i've had dreams about UCLA all weekend. one of them i didnt get in so i went down there and met one of the faculty and convinced them that i'd be a commodity at their school... and the other i didn't get in AGAIN so i walked next door from ucla and it was sfsu and just went there haha i hope these don't mean anything! can they just hurry up and email all of us please?

 

[vivaitalia]

so did anyone get any phone calls or e-mails yet?

 

[bornfromcelluloid]

I called this afternoon to check up on the interview notification process. They said they still haven't started sending out the notifications and that they'd be sending them out "soon." I think they want us to suffer waiting

 

[EricaLauren]

how the heck did you get ahold of them? i honestly think i've called 70 times and no one has ever answered.. this is seriously pure torment

Ah...the ubiquitous "soon" - implying they might start notifying us as far into the week as Thursday/Friday. I have a feeling they were all busy with the Graduate stuff that they took a small break, and went back to continue assessing more undergrad applications. Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't some of the UCLA graduate professors on the same of committee of the undergrad's? I can understand if they are a bit tired especially with school to worry about, but I wish they would have given us a set date range - IE April 1-15th, etc - instead of saying, "soon" or "around this time."

Christah, I can't believe you called and were able to get through especially from New York, that must have been a big bill, lol...

 

[bornfromcelluloid]

They actually picked up on the first ring and the woman was kind of rushing when she was talking so I'm figuring they've probably gotten quite a few calls lately. The grad and undergrad programs do share professors so I too assume that they've been busy getting those grad decisions out. From the looks of the grad forum posts it looks like they're done notifications... so on to us... hopefully .

It would be nice to have a time range but maybe they don't even know for sure.

I think we might be one of the most neurotic groups to post on this forum . I love it
