I accepted my offer yesterday. I really want to thank all of you for taking the time to give me advice, it really helped a lot with this decision. I feel like I'm making the right decision and I'm super excited to see you all this fall ?

Congrats! You should come to Showcase at the end of this year if you get a chance. If not no worries, see you in the fall!

When is that? As I'm international I'm planning on coming a bit earlier.

Hey guys! Anyone hear also looking for a place to live near UCLA come August/September? I'm not from LA or the US so I'm not exactly sure where are the best places to look for housing. Any tips would be much appreciated and if you're interested in perhaps sharing an apartment, hit me up!

Palms is a good area when I lived there. Was affordable and safe then but may be more expensive now that the the train is there. But that's a plus for the area as well.

Also no one has set up a UCLA group yet. Would be a good idea.

When it comes to actually searching for housing, I've recently landed on Padmapper as a really good resource. Compared to some of the others (Craigslist, Apartments.com, Trulia, etc.), it's actually providing a wide assortment of different (and feasible!) living options. Can't guaranteed it will work for actually landing a place as I'm not quite there yet but, for just looking at potential complexes, areas, etc., it's been the best resource I've come across.

Padmapper is good! I like that one a lot. I’ve also used most the others and westside rentals is good (particularly if you get with others and split the cost).
Rent.com, Zillow, hotpads and radpads I like too- hotpads and radpads are more similar to padmapper. Rent.com I’ve personally had lesss luck with but others love it. Also, driving the streets and calling signs old-school can give you some good deals if you come out to find a place.

Hey guys! Some of us in LA are trying to do an LA gathering- not ‘school’ specific just film school peeps.

Come!

We’ll do another one at end of summer when everyone is around for school too.

Is there anyone who haven't heard about anything yet? I applied for the Cinematography program but I haven't received any notification yet, wondering if I am on the waitlist or they are still sending out notification.

Did you have the interview? If you were interviewed you are probably on the waitlist

 

[divmoh247]

I responded back to the email and to Phyllis telling her I accepted my offer but I haven't heard anything back yet?

I had the interview on Feb 22nd. Yeah, I was thinking about if I am on the waitlist. I heard about people need to make the decision by the end of today, so I hope I can hear something back this week.

In my case, although I was informed by the school that I was accepted on Mar 27, the formal admission letter is yet to be produced by the university due to some bureaucratic process. I can't officially accept or reject it until I receive this one. So probably you will have to wait a bit longer.. So no worries in case you don't hear anything on Apr 15 or 16.

I'm on the waitlist, and they said we wouldn't hear back until probably early May.

It is good to know this! Thank you and congratulation! I've heard about some policies changes as well.

Thank you for sharing this! I think the only thing we can do right now is waiting. And hoping for the best! Good luck.

I was waitlisted on March 21. Got an email earlier today offering a spot. Pretty shocked right now given I wasn’t sure when I’d hear back from UCLA. The decision has to be made by April 25th. I’ll probably make an official decision this weekend, just figured I’d let you all know!
