Glad we'll get to see you in the fall!

AND you should TOTALLY come to Showcase! It's on Monday, June 10th, and you're not too far away either. You'll get to meet a lot of folks and get a real feel for the place, it's gonna be a good time.

What’s the showcase?

What’s the showcase?

It's this annual awards gala of sorts; screenwriting students submit works for scoring by industry folks (managers, agents, other writers, etc.) and then those scores are tallied and awards given out in the big categories (Feature Drama, Feature Comedy, Drama Pilot and Comedy Pilot).

For incoming students it's a great way to meet people who will teach you and people who you'll be taking classes with. I'm not sure how they're handling tickets this year as far as you guys coming in, but if I hear anything about it I'll post about it.

Hi all! I figured the majority of us have already gotten our acceptances and the waitlisted folks have already heard back! I'm so excited to meet everyone, and would love to connect with you all (I've already connected to @biacelani who opened the UCLA group) and Philip! Since we're gonna be in this together for two years, feel free to add me on my social media(message me! Figure that would be wise) and let's connect! I know some people are looking for housing too and as an international student I'd definitely like to connect beforehand! Idk if you are down but I could start a FB group too? Let me know!

The Current first years may or may not be starting a Facebook group for you guys, so I'd hold off on that for now!

How did you figure out when your appointment time was?

 

[amlena]

MyUCLA > Classes > Enrollment Appointments

I was expecting some sort of email with more info, but nothing yet. ?‍

I called them just now. I was told that we need not worry about it, that all of our classes are guaranteed. When we find out will be up to the advisor but we don't need to stress out about this.

Yeah don't worry about registering for classes! They will walk you through it, most likely in August or September. Some classes you can't even register for until the first week, but TFT // your second years won't leave you in the dust

Hey @JLWilco, was just wondering about that facebook group the first years were gonna make. A couple of classmates and i were messaging because we're finding the whole housing situation a bit difficult and thought it would be great to pair up with anyone else also looking for houses together!

Heya! I know my class is currently forming a social committee, the folks who will be in charge of organizing social events as well as creating/managing your facebook group. If I hear any more about its progress, I can let folks in the thread know.

As far as housing goes, I recently found a housing group on facebook just for UCLA, that may be of some help if you're looking for housing near campus.

Any chance I could sneak into that group looking for roommates/places, please?

If I'm not mistaken you should be able to just request access to the group at the link I posted above.

 

[JLWilco]

Heads up: if you were an accepted student you should be getting an invite to the Facebook group today! If not let me know and I'll see what I can do.
