UCLA 2010

[icedtea]

csun sounded promising to me when i was doing some research... i missed the deadline for fall, so i just may try for next spring (you know, if this whole ucla thing doesnt work out haha)

 

[Cptn. Amurikuh]

so anyone write their creative as a documentary pitch, lol?

Oquendo, I'm checking my watch 'til 4 as well!
U get in to Santa Cruz?

Sb's kind of moved up on my list over berk so far, in terms of what they offer for film, but we shall see! This is way more frustrating than I thought it'd be, too many mind games psyching myself up and psyching myself out for places I haven't heard from yet, look im on this **** at 830!

 

[EricaLauren]

It's okay... i'm on here as well, haha. does Santa Cruz have a good program? did anyone apply to NYU??

 

[fakeplastic]

did anyone hear from UCSB?
i still havent heard from ucsd
i'm just keeping my hopes up because i got a late reply from ucsc too but...eh

Think of it this way: If you had to pick, would you rather have strong letters of recommendations and WEAK writing, or would you rather have STRONG writing and weak letters of recommendations?

I would rather have both, but it is more logical to measure the importance of each by contrasting them.

I feel they will get to know me a bit better through MY writing as opposed to someone else's, and the letters of reqs are just icing on the cake from what I've heard, unless I got a letter from Martin Scorsese!

I didn't apply to Santa Cruz - UC fee waiver only allowed me to choose 4 colleges - UCLA, SB, SD, Cal

Hey Fake Plastic, I just got my acceptance letter to UC Santa Barbara! It's too bad the school is 5-6 on my list since its probably the most beautiful UC aesthetic wise.

When the hell is UCLA coming out?

 

[fakeplastic]

damn oquendo your owning these applications.
you've gotten int every school right?

 

[fakeplastic]

is it possible they release acceptance letters in order of last name?

Unfortunately there was a discrepancy with my SDSU application. I wrote about it awhile back - on my supplemental, the system didn't register the last class I inputted so my application read 58 units as opposed to the original 61 I had to be transfer-ready, putting me out of the running.

I'm filing an appeal to clear this up, just because all the work I put into them would be a complete waste, but I'm not too worried because although I enjoyed the campus, I don't know/haven't heard much about their film program. Not to mention, I'll have to do a lot of pre-req stuff and stay an extra year.

I wanted to apply to CSUN, but I failed to do any of the pre-reqs at my college because they were all CSU transferable only and not UC. If I applied there, I wouldn't want to stay an extra year doing pre-reqs. With SDSU, I at least got 2 pre-reqs done.

 

[fakeplastic]

Ok I see.
I just started a topic about CSUN because I'm still confused with the whole film production process.
Lately i'm having doubts about the doing film as undergrad. I might focus on writing or do anything like sociology or anthro for undergrad and then do film production for grad school if i have money.

 

[fakeplastic]

unless i get into ucla, then its film for sure.

 

[Asmerza]

I just want to echo the above... Be as well rounded an individual you can because they are all tools in your arsenal. And it's what you can make of it.

wouldn't it be funny if all the letters we already sent out but none of us ever found out..... and we are still talking about it and wishing. lol

wouldn't it be interesting to post "Hey i got an interview email notification" (I wont unless i get in) and see the reaction on everyone, I don't have the heart to lie to you guys, (tear, tear) we have built a bond, and now there are 5 6 no 10 people in my wolfpack lol on a little rant we need some cheer and fun....

 

[fakeplastic]

hahahahhahahahahahha azmerza thats so funny.

 

[EricaLauren]

wouldn't it be awesome if we all got in and got to make movies together next year?! and when introducing ourselves in class we could say we all already met on an online forum months ago for obsessive UCLA prospectors!

 

[fakeplastic]

yea i wish the UCLA committee checked out this website and chose us because we were such committed students to UCLA

 

[ok2play]

whoa i missed out on a lot of stuff. been busy studying for three tests this week. still haven't heard back yet either.

 

[bornfromcelluloid]

I wonder if they're waiting to get back to undergrads until after all of the grad students have been notified. According to the grad thread they were still doing interviews with students on Monday and some of the professors for the grad and undergrad programs overlap.

 

[Asmerza]

I called the UCLA TFT this morning and asked if they had sent out undergrad interview notifications out yet and they told me that the notifications are going out on/after March 26th...... So we are still all good for at least a couple of days.

I hope this helped some of you...

 

[bornfromcelluloid]

Thanks for the news Asmerza! My heart just started racing. It's really going to happen.

Omg...after 4684941613 posts about UCLA, why the hell didn't we think of just calling them? Or at least e-mail?

Would have saved the us the stress. At least for me. I have had about 4 tests in the past weeks and this to worry about.

LOL, thanks asmerza!
