UT Austin updates

[Carebear]

hey guys, SimAlex is right, I'm a screenwriter.

Hey there Carebear and SimAlex,

I just got into the MFA screenwriter program as well. I guess there are seven of us.

Do you guys think you're going to make it to visit on the weekend of the 5th?

Look forward to meeting you.

 

[Carebear]

Hey, I'm hoping to make it at that time, especially if that's when everyone else is going to be there...I'm excited to meet you guys!

 

[SimAlex]

my plan is to be there that weekend. i work nights & weekends, (which sucks. a lot.) but i'm going to do my damndest to get some vacation time so i can be there.

I found out a few days ago that I'm on the wait list for the Screenwriting program... I'm crossing my fingers.

 

[KayS]

ilikealliteration: congratulations on your acceptance to USC though!

I'm waitlisted at UT also and waiting to hear from everyone else.

 

[ilikealliteration]

Thank you! If I end up getting into UT, I'll have a tough decision to make for sure.

Hey guys I am a first year Production MFA who used this site last year.

I was just curious if anyone who was accepted has decided on coming here yet.
And if anyone is coming during the first weekend of April, we're screening our dailies from our spring semester project on April 6th...not sure if our prof would let you guys sit in though.

ha, finally hear one voice from current Austin MFA students! well, since I'm living in Beijing right now, I can't fly there in April. I haven't confirmed my acceptance yet

 

[Get Me Out of the Economy]

Just heard back from UT via e-mail for the Media Studies M.A....and did not hear back the answer I was hoping for.

I'm still waiting on UCLA and Columbia for M.A. programs but after not getting into USC's critical studies, UT or Univ of Wisconsin, I think I can pretty well forget about them at this point.

Looks like the USC screenwriting waitlist is my last hope for this year, anyway. That's probably not good. Hope those of you out there in internetland still waiting are in better shape.

Hey all, congrats to everyone whose been accepted! I am still on a waitlist for UT Production MFA, and was wondering if anyone else on the waitlist has heard anything yet? Thanks, appreciate any info you can supply!

[SimAlex]

just wondering if anyone here is going to be in Austin from April 4-6?

 

[drmadham]

I was accepted for the MFA Production but sadly I won't be able to make it to Austin for the April 4-6 gathering.

Do let me know how it goes!

 

[SimAlex]

Sorry you won't be there!

I love Austin, and I have a bunch of favorite places I want you guys to try! Do you have time to explore some of Austin while you're there?

I assume the event is on campus, but there are buses that can take you downtown to where a lot of good eats and bars are. There are also a lot of great burger joints and beer pubs closer to campus (within walking distance).

Let me know if you want any suggestions! I am a foodie, so if you want the greatest burger, the best vegetarian/vegan food, the healthiest options, the cheapest good quality steak, best happy hour, yummiest drinks, best college hangout, best pub quiz, etc., personal message me! I know I sound crazy.

Man I love Austin. I'm going to miss it.

Hey all,

I just received a fellowship offer from the RTF department for the Production MFA - strangely I only got the fellowship letter, not the official acceptance letter - I don't know if that's supposed to be different? This one is just a one year fellowship so I'm a bit confused - I am guessing this means I am in right?

I'm applying as a fulbright scholar so it's possible they sent the actual admission letter there?

Can someone help on this? I didn't get any group email to the 12 admitted applicants so I'm just getting a bit paranoid..
