UCLA MFA Screenwriting 2019

[Cd23]

I've been checking the Acceptd website where we got our interview requests (not sure if it's the right place) but still nada...

I found a graduate “division” application status page and you put in your email and then set up a password and it also doesn’t matter bc it hasn’t said anything lol

UCLA Graduate Division | Application Status thought I'd link in case people wanted another website to obsess over

I think you know the answer to that.

Anyone hear back yet?

 

[Cd23]

Nothing

Soo... let's all hope we hear tomorrow morning? One of the other programs I think were notified last Wednesday morning through an Acceptd email.

What is happening this year?! Honestly not just with UCLA.

But come on admissions why is this year like this? The interviews were much more spread out than before (skype early feb, in person late feb), and now it's the end of March and we have no callback.

UCLA, please holla back.

it's actually kind of rude at this point

At least UCLA has interviews, so we have 5% more idea of what's going on. Some schools COUGHCOUGH don't and then every year it's a rolling basis acceptance thing, but not really :/

Wish schools gave us more time to decide but they likely have so much logistics to deal with. Just wish we knew more. Like updates on application statuses other than "submitted".

The thing is though like some schools gave me until mid April/ or like beginning of May to decide. And giving more time would only benefit their paperwork/whatever beaurocratic bs they have to do so the super short deadlines are just inconvenient for us

Anyone know the TFT admissions phone number?might be worth calling and getting a definitive answer

Seriously? The deadline to accept for Chapman is before then! I'm supposed to put down a non-refundable grand and not even know for sure if I'm going there because I still haven't heard back from everywhere else???

You might want to reach out to UCLA if that's the case. If they already like you, giving them some urgency could pump some extra financial aid out of them.

Are you asking the # interviewed for the MFA?

Ah, I meant for undergrad. I’m still trying to figure how to navigate the forums and didn’t know I was posting under the wrong one ? My bad.

I had the same situation with Chapman ☹! You can try asking for an extension on the decision period.

Okay so I just called them letting them know that I have an offer I need to accept or decline this week and I got and unofficial letter JESUS I don't know what to do now what is life gah.

Letter from Acceptd. Perhaps it was because I called? Anyone else get anything?

GAH what if they "review" the documents again and are like : nah nvm. I think I have to at least pay the LMU deposit? If I sign the commit form can I still reject LMU after? Not that I want to I just need to make so many more calls now guh gur blehk pko.
