Does any of you already live in L.A.? I am invited by my interviewer to a personal tour on campus, and as I am up for a holiday in the U.S., I will come to L.A. from the 22nd til the 25th of March. Does anyone have a couch to surf on or know someone where I could stay for three days? More Info about me via PM =)

Besides, I haven't heard back after my interview yet, but then again, I hadn't sent in my financial statement, because I was waiting for scholarship decisions. The graduate office told me now they can't tell me the outcome of my application until I send in my financial statement... But they should notify me soon as I have sent in the documents yesterday...

It's not likely they send me a rejection now, is it? I mean, why should I have to prove I can pay if they want to reject me?! I still hope for the best!

Keep your head up mein Mann oder Frau, I'm sure if they interviewed you and are wanting your financial documents, you are way ahead of many other applicants.

@K.E.M. did you had an interview before? It was your first time applying there?
You got accepted without any interview?

Good luck to all!!!

I received the rejection letter email this morning. There're two page. First one is rejection and second one is a reapplication process information form, telling me that I have the opportunity to have my materials reviewed for 2014 spring. I wonder whether everyone get rejected receive this? Everyone get rejected for 2013 fall will have a chance for this? If we want to reapply, we have to send them a form on 5th, April. Help~~! THX!!!

@Angela199119 - Yes, everyone who is rejected is given the opportunity to resubmit their materials for free for the Spring. You cannot change anything in the material you resubmit.

MFA of production.

Hey mfaanimation,

I also haven't received anything from the admission office yet, I submitted my financial documents on Friday. I had my interview three weeks ago and after that the admission office told me they couldn't place a decision on my file unless I send the documents. Which is weird because the i-20 office told me I could wait until after the decision (this is why I didn't send them earlier). So if they told you you were academically eligible, maybe they meant your former education makes you eligible for the program, but they haven't made a decision yet? And the story of your friend is weird, because why would they need financial documents for a rejection? I suppose we can only wait until they get back to us ...

I also applied for MFA production.

Has anyone who has not received an interview been accepted or waitlisted?

Me, I didn't even know they were interviewing people. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>


Yeah, a good bit of the previous posts say that people were contacted for interviews!. I applied for the MFA Production program and have not heard anything since I completed my application (as well as a couple of scholarship forms and a financial aid form). When did you receive your acceptance and was it an email or package? Congrats btw.

Hey everyone.

I instant messaged the office at the school and they told me the status of my decision letter (en route).

I guess for international students, they send email decisions out but snail mail for applicants in the states.

ANYONE WHO WAS ACCEPTED: Was it normal postal service mail, but just a larger envelope? Or was it UPS, etc.?

 

[Moira]

Waitlisted! Wahoo! International applicant here, just got notified by mail. Awesome! =)

 

[huangwei1102]

Congrat! so glad to hear that they are still making decisions!!

 

[pnrt7]

Moira, did you have an interview?

 

[Moira]

@pnrt7: yes I had an interview three weeks ago.

 

[dusty_rose]

YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!! @Moira I knew it!!! Congrats girl

 

[waffleflower]

@Moira: Congrats! Then the person from the school fibbed to me about only letting international applicants know via email. What happens if there are no spots open? They offered you spring admission?

 

[Moira]

@waffle: I AM an international student, so she didn't fib you And yes, if there aren't any spots opening, you get admitted for spring. Or you can choose to skip the waitlist and go for spring admission right away...

Still zero word over here (though that might be partially because my transcript had to be re-sent so it delayed them sending the application to the graduate committee apparently).

Thinking at this point, the odds aren't in my favor. (Though, to be honest, I actually might prefer Chapman or FSU if I get in either of those)
