UCLA Screenwriting 2012

[graffiti281]

Oh. Undergrads don't even get interviews? Okay, that makes me feel a little better.

And well, I'm 21. And I kind of even mentioned it to Hal. Not even properly old enough.

My undergrad is Visual communication. Though I have done Indian dance for 16 years, and theatre for 5.

I finished my undergrad last year as well, but I'm 32.

I wouldn't stress too much about being fresh out of undergrad. I stressed about being from California cause I felt it might be too plain for them.

We all have our stressors. They gave us interviews though. After the interview, I sort of felt it was more about the quality of the material we sent in, but that was just my interpretation.

Good luck on not thinking about it too much. I know that's hard to do. I'm trying to distract myself from it (with very limited success).

Off to more distractions....

 

[graffiti281]

I still haven't finished my undergrad. I'll be finishing only in April. My interview was more about where I'm from and how I feel about moving out of my country and all that.

I'm telling you. By the time they decide to let us know, I'm going to be lost in a puff of high stress smoke.

Need.Distractions.

 

[Diehl]

See, 21 and graduating. You are motivated. They got to like that. I honed my distraction skills in the years I didn't get my butt in gear and get my degree. Guess it's time to pull those skills out again. Or write, I guess I should be good and go write something or rewrite something while we wait.

But I'll be posting, good news or bad, on here as soon as I find out.

 

[graffiti281]

So will I! I can't wait though. At this point, any news os welcome. Okay, of course not - I do want to get an admit. But the wait is nerve-wracking.

It hasn't been a week since I had my interview. I don't think we'll hear anything until the end of next week, at least. Maybe the end of the following one.

You're not alone in your anxiety

Anyone know how we will hear? Do they send a letter or an email??

 

[honeybadger]

@N_A_Fitz: UCLA notifies people via email about their acceptance and rejection, at least in my experience from last year, and having read the boards the year before that, when I was preparing to apply for Fall 2011 admission. In 2010 they notified the rejected students first, and then the admitted students. Last year UCLA emailed the admitted students first, and then the rejected students.

 

[PeopleGetReady]

Yeah, it looks like in past years it was via email. And I hope we find out soon, because I'm starting to check my email every ten minutes.

 

[graffiti281]

Oh. Now see, that's scary. If I see an email from them now, all I'll be thinking is, 'Is this too soon? What does this mean? Am I in, am I out?' - ALL this even before I even open the email.

Just received an acceptance email from Graduate Advising, so a heads up to everyone--they're forthcoming. Best of luck.

If anyone gets waitlisted, keep your hopes up. At least one spot will open up, since I committed to USC today, and I'll be letting UCLA know.

Just received an acceptance email from Cheri Smith! I'm in for the fall!! Congratulations to all who hear positive news as well!

 

[graffiti281]

Just received my acceptance email from Cheri Smith! Oh God. I can't feel my fingers.

 

[WillieGreen]

Congrats!

 

[darkew]

I'm in too!!!

Congrats everyone!!!!! =)

 

[tra thomas]

I am in as well! Congrats to everyone who has heard back so far. Get ready, this is going to be an amazing ride!!

 

[Nowon]

I'm in!

Huge congrats to those accepted! The wait is finally over.

 

[PeopleGetReady]

Best email I've gotten in years!

I second what @tra_thomas has to say. This is going to be an amazing 2 year adventure! I can't wait to meet my fellow classmates! I'm thinking we're going to need a facebook group? Whaddya think, guys?

And for those of you who didn't get an email tonight, I just want to say that I know how you feel right now. I was in your boat last year, and it was ****ty and it made me question things that I never should have questioned. The only option you have at this point is to soldier on.

Getting into grad school does not make you a writer. You make you a writer.

 

[N_A_Fitz]

Congrats all So... if we didn't hear today then that's bad news, right?

 

[filmart]

Congratulations to everyone and welcome to the family. I look forward to meeting all of you!

@N_A_Fitz - Last year there were a few rounds of acceptance emails. Until you get the dreaded letter, don't give up hope!
