UCLA Directing 2013-2014

Wrong thread - sorry. that was for UT Austin. I did just call UCLA's graduate department and they wouldn't tell me if I had an interview. They just said they would be sending out emails.

Did they say when they will send out emails?

I have no idea. They have to get the interviews done by the end of the this month, because they are supposed to start letting people know who got in May and April.

Hello...

I received my interview request on the 11th as well and accepted, but haven't heard anything back. I re-sent another email and still nothing. I called and left a message, but I'm on Seoul, South Korea time right now...
USC was the opposite though, I found out from them and interviewed over the phone two days later.

@Nateflies: So you have interviewed as of now? How was it interviewing over the telephone? Did you feel that it would have been better doing it in person, or via Skype?

@ark: I only interviewed for USC over the phone so far. It was with a professor who said he voulnteers auditing the finalists before sending their packets to the committee for final selection. It was a pleasant conversation, more conversational than formal and he asked specific questions that pertained to me (i.e. how do I feel I have evolved as a filmmaker from past to present / why do I want to go to USC instead of just going out and making films on my own). Overall, it only lasted about 15-20 minutes. Of course, I think Skype interviews are better as they allow for a more "human" interaction, but USC only does phone interviews as far as I know.

Has anyone recently heard from UCLA, other than those who received emails on Monday 11 February ?

 

[achorusisrising]

Nope, nothing here. Are those who received e-mails international applicants?

 

[yellowfilms]

i received an email last week-- im from here so i imagine more than the international students are getting emails. My interview is march 3rd

 

[nateflies]

I am listed on my application as living in the US, but am currently abroad. I was not getting any response from the school in reference to my interview request. I called and finally got a hold of Erica Flener and she was surprised to find my emails were going into her "junk email" box. If you are in the same boat I was, you might want to check this. My interview is scheudled for March 10th.

Hey, buddies, Is it possible people who don't get an interview invitation still can get admitted? Anyone know?

I called on Feb. 21th, and they told me that you don't necessarily need an interview to get in. Many people can just get in without an interview. I had the same answer from USC, UCLA, and AFI. All in the same discipline MFA in Directing.

 

[DeathDealer]

Does being interviewed later in the month effect your chances at all?

 

[huangwei1102]

anyone has updates?

Thank you so much! I feel better now...> <

I just found out I've been reject by UT Austin, so I feel like there is no way UCLA would take me. Has anyone found out if they've been rejected yet? They probably have to figure out who is going on the waitlist first.

Hey Guy,I also get a interview scheduled on 17th Mar. So I guess there's pretty a long time before we get the decision...

Hey,don't be upset!Schools judge you with their own taste,I know too many people rejected by schools like FSU and admitted by UCLA,NYU.Just wait for some time and good luck to you

@Jennifer.hightower2 - I agree with AprilCSK. I've looked through some of the previous threads and have seen people get rejected by NYU, Columbia and UCLA and still get accepted by USC. I'm in the same boat as you: I got rejected by UT. I think you've got nothing to worry about until all is said and done. Keep the faith!

 

[achorusisrising]

Received an e-mail rejection today via e-mail. Kinda sad, but I'm optimistic about the future.

Congrats to everyone who scored an interview!
