UT Austin updates

[Fox]

Hello, Patrick,

well, I think the group email is addressed to the 12 admitted students. coz Stephanie asked us to introduce ourselves to others via email,then we can chat with whoever we like in private. so far I only got 8 intro emials(including myself), probably the rest 4 are too lazy to respond, we never know...

well, I dont know how many ppl are on waitlist, but I guess you can call the RTF department and ask. Well, I haven't confirmed mine yet, coz the deadline is April 15, so I guess many others are still waiting for responses from other schools.

Just be patient

I talked with Stephanie Crouch this morning. She told me that they would be sending out all of the acceptance letters by the end of the week.
Who knows...

 

[Jurassic Patrick]

Hey color,

That seems an oddity. How can they be sending out all final acceptances by the end of this week if those who got initially accepted have until April 15th to decide? Did Stephanie explain in any better detail?

Are you also on the waitlist? What a miserable limbo!

Patrick

Patrick-
I was kind of pushed off the phone and too sleepy to be confrontational so my call was probably not all that constructive. I don't exactly see the incongruence with the deadline and the acceptance letters that you do, however. Maybe I am not understanding something. I am not on the waitlist, as of what I have been told, but I really did expect to get in to UT. I am panicking as well, because I was treating it like a safety, which was probably unwise...
Good luck-

Hey color,

That's so interesting. I didn't realize they've yet to contact some applicants (as I know of waitlisted people, rejected people, and accepted people already). Perhaps its a good sign for you though. I hope it all works out, and best of luck. Keep us updated about what you find out in the coming days, and I shall do the same.

rock on,
Patrick

Has anyone heard back from the screenwriting department at Austin? Or have any idea when they send out notifications?

 

[steelyd]

just got a rejection email. booo

 

[Carebear]

Ahh, too bad, steelyd. But keep your spirits high!

@Jubs: no idea, haven't heard a peep yet.

 

[kosnopfl]

Is it safe to say that the people who haven't heard anything as per wait lists and acceptances are most likely rejected? Thanks.

 

[Meghan]

What you all are reporting is just for production right? Does anyone know about the Media Studies MA and what the status is on that? I applied and haven't heard anything yet.

 

[Fox]

Well, I think we are talking about film production here!

so far I've heard from 10 students in the group UT Austin mail (including myself), so either the rest two people are too lazy for introducing himself, or they are still making decisions? I have no idea...

Best of Luck to everyone!!!

Meghan,

I applied to UT for the dual degree thing with Media Studies and something in the LBJ School that I still don't quite understand. I've also not heard anything from either school. But please post here when you do!

 

[SimAlex]

to my absolute shock, i've been accepted at UT for their MFA screenwriting program. just got the e-mail like 5 mins ago.

 

[jthamilton]

Congrats!

 

[Carebear]

@SimAlex: me too! When I saw the e-mail I thought they made a mistake Congrats!

 

[Jurassic Patrick]

Anyone on the waitlist for the Production MFA heard anything yet? Hoping all hope isn't lost.

 

[Fox]

okay, from what I know right now, including SimAlex and Carebear, there are exact 12 students accepted for Production MFA. or Carebear has already replied via listrev group email? btw, my name is Xue Yin on the email, if anyone can identify me! LOL

 

[SimAlex]

i think carebear is a screenwriting MFA, not a production. i'm also screenwriting.

Hi all,

I got my waitlist notification from UT Austin today.

I went to Austin for undergrad and live here right now. I LOVE it. Anyone who hasn't been here, I'm sure you'll fall in love, too.

 

[KayS]

Oh, by the way, I applied to screenwriting.
