Awesome! I've been having a blast for weeks now, so I don't know how it could get any better, really.

What did they ask? Did you pitch? Did they give you any statistics pertinent to this year's interview process? What were you wearing?

Will they reimburse the flight tickets and the hotel expenses. I travelled from Colarado to LA for the interview. Is it appropriate to ask them?

No pitch. No stats. She said people would probably be notified first week of April. She asked about a portion of my statement of purpose, my strengths, and a few other questions. She asked me about playwrights, which threw me off a little bit. That was about it. Lasted maybe 45 minutes.

And I couldn't get my zoot suit out of the cleaners in time, so I went with slacks and a dress shirt. No jacket. No tie.

For your sake, do not ask.

Just don't.

Thanks, WillieGreen! I'm glad that it went well.

Good luck!

Hey Willie, i remember you posting that you were interviewing at the end of March, what made them change your date?

 

[nunu]

Any production students get any status notifications today? I am super curious to learn my status and they suppose to email or call people today so I am assuming I am not in!

 

[jpcam]

I haven't heard a worrddddd. I'm so nervous. Can they hurry!?

 

[Ben]

Was just asked to send in my reel--cinematography applicant...Maybe now that they've decided on the 18 directors they are moving onto to the 2-3 cinematographers.

 

[HI FILM]

Hey Guys, can one of our native speaker friends call Cheri to ask if they will notify us today

 

[jpcam]

They did this last year though. They said one day and then didn't make the calls until a couple days later. I'm sure they're real busy and it's not like they forgot about us. I want them to hurry up as well, but it'll happen soon enough.

No clue.

I got a general email saying I would be contacted for an interview between the 22nd and 27th.

Then I got a call from Linda out of the blue. Maybe each interviewer has his or her own pile, and they contact them at their own leisure.

I got a call last night around 8:30pm confirming I'd been accepted (MFA Directing). I was told I'd get a formal email from Cheri soon.

I was told 18 were chosen. It's possible they haven't notified everyone yet. Good luck, fingers crossed!!!

 

[beezy16]

Thanks Willie! Good to hear the interview went well, good luck!

 

[jefcostello]

I got the acceptance call for MFA directing, he said they were not done with the process. Good luck to everyone...!

 

[HI FILM]

Hi JEFCOSTELLO,Cograts. When did you get the call?

 

[jefcostello]

A couple of hours ago - guy was nice and I was eating dinner so it was a shock.

For your sake, I would definitely ask. Last year I interviewed for Cinematography, and was chosen as an alternate (didn't get accepted in the end). I asked for, and got reimbursement. It would be ridiculous to discriminate based on whether you asked for reimbursement, not to mention completely unethical. It's certainly not a strange thing to ask about, and if they have funds available then it helps offset the high cost of applying.

Or you could do that.

I'd be too chicken to ask one of the interviewers. Maybe someone in the administrative office.
