UCLA MFA Film Production/Directing - 2012

[freakyfreddy]

When I took the tour I asked about the length of the program and they said the first two years are for coursework and the rest is for thesis. I remember they said that because I mentioned NYU and they told me NYU is three years of coursework and the rest is thesis so you get out faster and save more money at UCLA.
4 years”¦5years”¦ still seems like a long time in comparison to AFI (which they are now saying is three years).

So I know I already asked this, but did everyone who was rejected this year find that lame ass optimistic and seemingly personal nugget in their rejection email saying "you had a strong application" and are "encouraged to apply again?" (thereby rendering it insignificant)

Or should I actually be pumped up that i had a somewhat "strong" application (that still sucked enough that I didn't get in)?!

We all got it.

Hey everyone!
I got the call today. Just wanted to let you know because I was on the waiting list, so there's still hope for the ones who haven't had any news on UCLA.

Hey guys, gotta say it's awesome reading people's comments saying they were accepted! I'm currently applying myself, a couple of questions, one is that as someone who has spent the past two years out of school working in TV and Film I don't have much in the way of a personal reel, is this something that you guys noticed played a big part in your application? Also my writing is not the typical, or what I perceive to be typical, melodramatic indie style, as far as a treatment was comedy something that anybody used? Not looking for specific ideas on a treatment or anything, just wanted to see if anyone else was successful using comedy or could tell me from their experience with the faculty, if comedy is something they could see being successful? Thanks again and congrats to those that got in!

Anybody accepted for Fall of 2012 willing to share their treatment so I can see exactly what UCLA is looking for? Or, at least, more precisely.

How much do you think UCLA factors prior film experience into their decision?

Is the short film treatment 2-pages single spaced? The website makes no mention of double spacing.
