I live in southern VA about 30 mins from the TN state border so I actually went to a school in TN for undergrad. And no sadly I haven’t heard anything yet either :/

okay so it seems truly people that applied to this program haven't heard back yet, so I think it's a good thing we haven't heard back! it means, they just haven't decided yet

it really helps since the schools themselves are bad sometimes at giving ppl transparency on what the timing looks like

yes!! i got to check this out for a little and it was really helpful. this site is definitely the hub and home for film school applicants, just wanted to share gradcafe and point people to reddit in addition in case people haven’t been able to come across this site yet!

 

[iheartmfa]

hey okay so basically it’s not really a thread like this one but rather a site where people contribute to admissions data. so for example, you can look up “ucla film” in the search box and you’ll see the search bar is kinda inefficient. best thing to do is click “filters” and put in the school, the major/program, and what type of degree (you don’t need to do this if there’s only one type of degree) and it’ll show you all the results from this yr and years prior! you can submit your interview dates/notifications/admissions/rejections from any schools here:

The GradCafe

Search and submit to the largest database of graduate school admission results. Find out who got in where and when since 2006

www.thegradcafe.com

you can look up results for schools here:

The GradCafe

Grad School Admissions Results, Discussions, Tips, Forums and Help

www.thegradcafe.com

definitely recommend doing this from any/all schools you’ve heard back from in any capacity it really helps since the schools themselves are bad sometimes at giving ppl transparency on what the timing looks like

Thank you so much!! You're awesome!!

hello all, piping in to say I emailed them this morning to check on Decisions. I said that we understood decisions come out in April, but wanted to know more specific date ranges for acceptances, waitlists, and rejections. they havent responded yet and probably will not answer those specific questions, but I asked transparently to try and get a transparent answer. I will let you know if I Hear anything.

 

[alexxiate]

I'm in a deep dive in reddit and grad cafe for UCLA MFA decisions. I truly think they just haven't come out yet. I'm holding onto hop until March 22nd.
