UCLA - Rejected this morning.

 

[Kukkik]

Rejected 10 minutes ago...

Sure it's heartbreaking. But I'm still good!
Best of luck to all who's waiting, and congrats to all who gets in!

I got a rejection email from UCLA and an acceptance from USC. USC was my first choice, so I guess it's a sign! Good luck to everyone going to UCLA, and I hope I'll see you in LA!

By the way, my status in the appstatus page remains the same "To date, no decision has been made on your application... etc"

Hi everyone! Congratulations for everyone who got in.
Anyone in the waitlist?
Everyone seems to be accepted or rejected but no mention of a waitlist.

Well, my guess is that the wait listed people are actually the last to get any info. Which should be very soon, because I am positive most of the rejections and acceptances have gone out already.

Acting candidate, here. Yes, I know... not "technically" a film student, but at UCLA we are in the same school and I could really use some company during this excruciating waiting game. I know offers have gone out for acting as well, and yet... I have heard nothing but crickets. Dying over here... congrats who everyone who made it! Exciting stuff.

"Technically" film student or not, welcome to the forum . You and I are on the same boat, nothing but crickets on my end also. However, I tell myself that as long as I don't get a rejection letter, I'm still in the run. So congrats on not getting reject thus far! Believe me, plenty of rejection letters have gone out...

Cheers,
R

Thanks for the warm welcome! Trust, that sentence has been playing on a loop inside my brain for the past month... like I had a reaally good first date and I am still very convinced that this is some sort of test and that he WILL call. But it's okay... I can be patient. Good luck! I hope we both hear good news very soon.

Anyone else have their interview this weekend? I'm trying to burn a copy of my first short film on a DVD but my DVD burner hasn't been working all day. I've got a copy on a USB flash drive so I hope that'll be acceptable. Excited too since it's my first time out and about in NYC...seeing Dave Attell at the Comedy Cellar and also because I'm a huge fan of the show Louie.

I interviewed for Screenwriting a week and a half ago and got an email earlier this week saying I didn't get in. I'm bummed but feel lucky to have had the chance to interview. They did say if you're interviewed, you automatically get into the professional program if you choose to go. I'm not gonna do it, but thought others might like to know.

Sorry to hear that. But there is always next year! Most of us applied more than once and if you're interviewing you're already near the top of the stack.

I didn't get in my first try so I did the professional program and it is literally the first year of the MFA writing program. It was invaluable in helping me grow as a writer and I am certain helped me personally take the step forward I needed to get in the MFA (not everyone will need what I needed, so don't take my path as gospel). I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to test the MFA program for a fraction of the cost. It made me certain I would be a good fit for the program as you are taught by some of the same people who teach the 434s, so you're getting the real deal.

Hi! I am wondering did you get the interview in person or skype, I really dont know if I wanna fly there, since I live on the east side.

I've had an eye on this thread for a while, first post...I interviewed a couple of weeks back and haven't heard anything. It seems like everyone's already received an acceptance or rejection! My guess is that I'm wait listed since I haven't heard. Not knowing is stressful, haha. I got into another Top 5 MFA but UCLA is by far my first choice. Good luck to those who haven't heard, like me!!!

Update: I finally just called the office to ask; they said they're 'sending out a big batch of notifications tonight'. And that 'worst case scenario' is first week of April. So hang in there, people!

Epic fail in interview In NYC for UCLA MFA For Director!!!!

Same. :/ I was never told we needed to prepare a pitch and while I've written tons of things in the past and feel like I could've been able to go off the cuff, I completely froze. I sent an email to see if I could call or skype in a pitch since I never received details about the interview other than that it was informal.
