@Tra Thomas - I got that handbook as well, and also interview with Hal and Richard on Saturday.

Good luck everyone.

@bball71529 Excellent. Maybe we'll run in to one another.

 

[bball71529]

@tra thomas I take it you'll be the 6'7'' 320lb Offensive Tackle?

 

[tra thomas]

@bball71529 Move over Stripper with the Heart of Gold, it's the new archetype in town: the 6'7" 320lb Offensive Tackle with the Heart of a Poet.

When i Interviewed in LA last week i was told that word would go out after the NY and Skype interviews were done... So we should start hearing back towards the end of next month?

Strike while the iron's hot.

I was told that we should be hearing after the NY & Skype interviews, end of March or so. For the sake of my sanity, I hope it's sooner.

FYI - I interviewed in LA and did not get a handbook. Damn.

For those who get in, you all are going to have the time of your lives. The campus was awesome and my interviewer was incredibly interesting.

Good luck.

Hi guys! I'm so glad I found this thread, I'm new to the conversation I received an email back in January stating that I would be contacted for an interview but I haven't heard anything since? I was wondering if there was anyone else who is still waiting to hear back? Thanks!

 

[darkew]

I'm still waiting to hear myself. I think all Skypees are.

 

[Lumaloo]

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I'm actually in LA, and should be having an interview on campus. Are only the skype interviews still waiting to hear back at this point?

 

[PeopleGetReady]

@Lumaloo, you should email them immediately. It seems like they are currently conducting the LA interviews (if they haven't already finished them), and I'd hate for you to slip through the cracks!

 

[Lumaloo]

Thank you! I actually just emailed them and heard back already. My interview will be next week. They said they are still coordinating schedules.

 

[PeopleGetReady]

Whew.

Hi, everyone! Been lurking for quite some time. Figured I'd join in. I received the same message as Lumaloo. I'll be on campus next week! Good luck, everyone!

 

[bball71529]

For those of us interviewing in NYC tomorrow and Saturday, was anyone notified of how we will be found once at the hotel? I didn't get a room number or phone number or anything like that in my email. Any ideas?

 

[Turner]

Last year I asked at the concierge desk and was given a room number.

 

[bball71529]

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks so much. I don't want to look like a goon sitting in the lobby while they're in a room wondering where I am.

Hi All
Am so glad I found this forum. I applied to the Screenwriting Professional program about a week ago. And I am waiting to hear back from them on my acceptance or denial(hopefully not)
I have been a journalist for two years plus a creative editor at an Indian animation company for two years so I am hoping my experience counts for something.
I just wanted to know more about the Program. Especially if you are an international student, what are your chances of getting in, the procedure for the J-1 visa, etc. I would be grateful if someone could throw some light on this.
In terms of housing,etc, would there be someone at UCLA who will help you. How good is the program especially if I have not written too many scripts before? Are they open to teaching you the basics?
this is really the ideal course for me since I cannot afford MFA programs. I look forward to hearing from anyone who can help.

Merged from a thread witht he same exact topic.

@Diehl.. I didn't get a handbook either while i was there... maybe they just give them to ppl who wont be on campus?

 

[honeybadger]

Hey everybody. I did my interview on Tuesday. From what i understand, the handbook, along with a link to the professional program was supposed to be emailed to all of the interview candidates by the professor that was interviewing them. I could be wrong, but this was the information I was given. I think this request by the department to the interviewers might not have gone out until the middle of last week, so if you interviewed last week, your interviewer just might not have gotten the memo in time. I wouldn't stress to much about it.
