UCLA Directing/Production Fall 2019

Hey guys!
I didn't see a thread for this so I decided to start one. Did any one else apply? And if so where else did you apply additionally.

I did. I live in LA and prefer to stay in this area so I applied only to UCLA. I know I'm making the classic mistake of putting all my eggs in one basket....but you know those application fees really add up!
@kreativesoul

Did you get interviewed by UCLA already?

 

[kreativesoul]

Hey! I got an interview from AFI but still radio silence from UCLA. I know Screenwriting applicants from UCLA have started getting interview requests so I hope we're next. Also the fees definitely add up. I got a waiver for Chapman and Loyola.

Still waiting to hear back from UCLA and USC for their respective Production/Directing programs. The wait is killing me lol

 

[kreativesoul]

@zokage_ I was just reading through the Stark thread and I don't think anyone has been notified yet.

I was thinking the same.

 

[kreativesoul]

Which is your first choice? Or are you indifferent? @zokage_

 

[kreativesoul]

Nothing wrong with being decisive and knowing what you want. I originally had intentions of only applying to UCLA. @skimoak

Hey! Same here, reg. AFI. Do you know if UCLA sends invites for interviews throughout Jan? Or is it safe to assume no news is bad news?
Thanks!

According to the data from past applications the earliest notification date for directing is January 30. It's the screenwriting ones that go out earlier.

Anyone else interview? I was on the fence about UCLA but now I’m really falling in love with the program, ooof. I think mine went well, they started with “tell my about yourself” which I was somehow completely unprepared for ? but otherwise I feel good about it.

@Shannon M Riley
What other questions did they ask in your interview? Who were you interviewed by?
