does anyone know if they are interviewing in new york city this year? from the emails it seems like it's only in la

 

[amypj]

They only mentioned LA in my email too. Does anyone know if you can do a skype/phone interview instead of flying to LA?

 

[antonia]

I'm international applicant. They allowed me have an interview via skype. But didn't say anything about date.

i got a second email, although it read like a mass email. it said the the interviews are on two weekends end of march/ early april in LA. it also said that 350+ applicants applied, and 65 are being interviewed for 18 spots.

Same here

I was interviewed last year. No body called me yet. I think it means rejection

don't worry!! I just called UCLA film and tv production/directing mfa admissions and the lady said that interviews are still being sent out. Also, she said that this year, you don't necessarily have to be called for an interview to be accepted.

 

[HI FILM]

Thanks JKL. Great to hear that.

AS far as the directing candidates go: I've been told by UCLA admissions that you don't get accepted without an interview. Also the material that you will bring to the interview (reel, short film pitch) are essential part of the process. This however might be different for screenwriters.

I am there the 19th as well!! Maybe I will meet you there!

 

[kwokts]

mine is the 20th, worried as well

should mention that the email confirming interview also come like a list of what you should prepare for it, also attached doc. of the program overview.

whenever im reminded that the program is four year i feel terrifying...

 

[HI FILM]

nothing happens anymore for UCLA? Any recent notifications?

 

[Hyo-Jin Kim]

Ahhhhhh I envy everyone who got interviews so I guess that means I got rejected T.T

 

[balawadhi]

how to dress up for the interview? opinions!

 

[amypj]

My interview is scheduled on Mar 12. I'm thinking of cancelling it though, because I was accepted to cheaper schools”¦

Also, do you have to have a car and drive often if you go to UCLA?

Wish I could talk to a current student there!

 

[jackgradus]

hahah, I am sure the rest of the pool would be happy. Either way, good luck!!

 

[jackgradus]

hey,

I am still looking for a place to stay in LA the nights of the 19th and 20th. Anyone getting a hotel room or anything like that they'd want to split up?

Cheers
