LOL Oquendo, I was just sleuthing around the CC website, that sites kind of a mess though, I was checking out the ucsb transfer page and like seventh page in, I finally see someone accepted for film/media studies and they said it was their 4th or 5th choice, then I just glance at the name and it was You!

The Internet is a trip.

If I don't get accepted to UCLA, that could be a possibility because UCSB just offered me a pretty strong Financial Aid report!

Did you apply there EricaLauren?

Also, do you know anything about that new film building they have? I hate the word "studies" but I love to study film, lol - I'd prefer more hands off stuff.

 

[EricaLauren]

Noo, I did not. I am 100% that if I do not get into UCLA i am going to SFSU in the fall

Man. SFSU's seat deposit is May 1st, which is way too soon for me to make a decision. I mean I still want to at least visit the campus.

Also, does your friend know anything about that new film building they have? I hate the word "studies" but I love to study film, lol - does their program offer more hands-on stuff?

My interview with TFT is this Friday. I'm having a mild freak out, despite reading about how casual and nice it will all be. Someone give me a hug.

 

[Asmerza]

Is this believable

I would...but I'm afraid the hug might turn into a strangle....nah jk I'm happy for you.

Did you get your notification today? Was it by e-mail or phone? Do you happen to know if they are finished already? If so, I guess this is it.

Well...it lasted nearly 300 posts and we finally got one.

The next couple of days might be our last as "prospective" students. Good luck to all.

I got a call on March 29. From what I've read, both on the UCLA site and around here, interviews will only be held at the end of March and beginning of April. The woman who called me gave me all of my personal interview information on the phone then said she would send me an email that Friday. The email was basically a bulk email telling everyone where to go on campus.

I'm really sorry. But don't give up hope on film school :]

 

[Oquendo]

Attention! Don't lose hope homies! I just called the UCLA TFT School and the representative there said that we, "[You] still have until April 15th," although he then said, "I think..." afterwards to which I paused...


And I then reiterated, "So we have until the 15th to find out whether or not we will get notified for an interview?" To which he replied, "Yes."

Okay, it may not be concrete evidence, but I'll take it!

I waited for a year and a half for this, I think I can wait another week...

 

[Oquendo]

Although, the thing that scares me is the "I think.." part.

Man it's sadly funny how 8 or 9 of us came here became pretty cool internet buddies who obsessed, chatted, and freaked out, and then the one person who finally gets a call happens to be NONE of us...

Come to think of it: I have an idea, can anyone call to confirm that it will be the 15th?

Please?

 

[bornfromcelluloid]

Confirmed you guys are the best it's been fun on here

 

[fakeplastic]

ah finally someone got an interview.
At least we now know, its a disappointing relief.
Well Good Luck on the interview Katy Stark.
And for the rest of us we'll just have to wait until the 15th.

 

[EricaLauren]

i am sad..

 

[bornfromcelluloid]

It's depressing, but don't beat yourself up over it. Apparently this is like winning the lottery. And besides, there's still more time... just a few more days.

My advisor who has worked in admissions told me that getting into a school like this, if you have an amazing application, is 90% luck because they're basically forced to pick at random. Try to keep your head up, I've decided that this will give me time to build up my Grad portfolio. Maybe I'll see some of you on here in two years to freak out during that process ? I'm still sad that we all won't be classmates though

Good luck everyone, try to stay happy!

 

[Oquendo]

Apparently this is like winning the lottery.

That's actually not too far off. UCLA film school transfers is 15/541 = 2.71%

Basically, we have a better chance of getting into Harvard(30/800-900 = 3.33-75%) than getting into their film school

I just got call from UCLA Alumni Association for a $4000 Scholarship - I was excited - then I asked if this was conducive to our overall application to which he apologized and said, "No."

I'm going crazy, guys...seriously.

 

[bornfromcelluloid]

Wow, congrats on that scholarship Oquendo!! That's quite a frustrating situation to be in. We've survived this long, just one week!

Thanks Christah! Unfortunately, it's only attainable if you get accepted

Anyways, I guess it is official: It's a phone call.
