UCLA 2015/2016 Decisions

Hey Shai! That's great, congrats! Which school are you going to pick! That's really good news, so far these blogs haven't had too much action!
 
Thank youuuu! When do you guys recieve your decisions?
My mom really wants me to really consider my options, but I've wanted to go to UCLA since I was a small human so I can't see myself anywhere else. Its a toughie and I'm avoiding the inevitable with cookies and netflix
 
Applied for the production MFA last year and heard about interviews at the tail end of February BUT last year the deadline was also a month earlier. So I wouldn't be too surprised if interview notices didn't go out until the end of March roughly. Also in regards to the prior work thing, they'll ask before the interview if you have anything to show but all in all, the philosophy of the entire program, and what makes it unique and great to me, is that you don't need the technical skills or experience to do the program. They're most interested in what types of stories you want to tell and what you can bring to the table big picture wise (your voice, your ability to work with a team, etc). This is highlighted in your personal statement, your treatment, and your interview. One of the points of film school is to perfect the more technical stuff so that's why the reel itself is less important at this point.
Hello guys, I hope all is well. I just wanted to know...it's late march. If I haven't heard anything from UCLA in regards to my MFA application, can I conclude that I'm getting rejected?
 
did anyone hear anything yet.... I am loosing my hope lol... Well, the truth is I've never had high expectations, since my gpa is 3.68...
