No matter what I do I can't view my decision status. Now it just shows this. Maybe a good sign? lolView attachment 3724

How did you find this part of the portal?

Under the homepage you go to "decision status" and that's where I got this message

Thanks! Looks like I never registered for that portal. This is what mine says:

Hello!

In case this might help with anxiety, I am fairly certain they send out an email to you first when there is an update for you in the decision portal. At least that's what they did with me. So if you haven't received an email to check the portal, there is likely not going to be an update in the decision portal. I hope that helps so you don't have to keep checking the portal. I would just see if there's any email updates.

and I don't think they sent every decision in one batch (like all the acceptances, waitlists, and final decisions all at the same time). I am also fairly certain they spread all the different notifications out, at least last year things came on different days. Xx

This message just pops out when you've been signed in for too long. If you go back to the portal and log in, the regular page will show up

So…are we thinking they’ll send out more acceptances? I find it strange that no international applicants from this website were admitted. Then again, members here are a small sample size, so who knows?

Keep hope!! There’s no reason why they’d do it all at once. They haven’t done that in previous years.

FYI moved the story game that was in this thread into it's own thread:

Story Game while we wait for results 2024

I know we have at least a week left before we hear anything but I feel like I'm going crazy! We can always play a game while we wait. Create a story together? Each person writes two paragraphs and then hands off to the next person in the thread, who then picks up where their predecessor left...

www.filmschool.org

Contribute to the story and have fun while we wait for results.

Hope is dwindling

As far as anyone knows, there've been no international acceptances. Just based on that, it makes absolutely zero sense that admissions is done issuing acceptances. There will be another round. Hang in there.

Just jumped on here to say 1) I was accepted (Yay) and got my email on Tuesday night of this week and 2) Don't give up hope if you haven't gotten anything yet. Last year someone was in the acceptance thread maybe a week or two before the deadline to accept and got in. So things do roll out slowly.

Hope is officially dwindling by now.

yeah it seems to be...I don't know. Hope more information can be found.

Does anybody receive a waitlist decision? I didn't hear about that.

Yeah a couple of people end up waitlisted (nobody from here yet). I’m still waiting for an international applicant to confirm they were admitted because as far as I know, they only admitted domestic students on here (all of them last Tuesday).

Where did you hear about people receiving waitlist decisions?

Not this year - past years! Sorry

 

[WriterGirl]

I think it's probably safe to assume that if we don't hear back this week, it's a no. At least judging from past years

Hey! Longtime lurker, but I just wanted to say that I received a domestic acceptance yesterday, which means that they are rolling out the applications gradually rather than in one dump. Keep the faith!
