Anybody heard from Chapman Grad yet or know anything about their interview process? Who all applied here? Any info on the program or interview would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I guess I'm not the only person who's still waiting. I air-mailed my MFA Cinematography application back in late January just in time to meet Chapman's priority deadline on February 1st. Since then, I've only received a letter stating that all my necessary documents have been received that that my application is currently under review. That letter was dated February 7th, but I didn't actually receive it until February 13th.

I was told by the admissions office that I could call if I didn't hear anything new by this week. Since it seems like no one else has heard anything yet either, I think I might hold off calling for at least a little while. It's reassuring to know that there are other people in this forum going through the same waiting process.

Definatley,

And I have basically the same story as you,: Mailed the app by the priority deadline and recieved the confirmation letter, but nothing else. I guess we're all in that "wait and see" mode.

I'm also waiting to hear back from Chapman. I did notice, however, that if you go to Chapman's website, and check your application status, the email you get from this is different than what it had been. Before, it would say that that your application is "still being evaluated". Now it says to "contact the Chapman University campus to which you applied for information about your status".

Mine actually says Both. Still being evaluated and contact for more info.

Application Term: Fall 2007
Program: MFA in Screenwriting
Location: Orange Campus
Application Status: Your application is complete and is currently being
evaluated. Please contact the Chapman University campus to which you
applied for further information.

Winterreverie, my application status says this:
"Please contact the Chapman University campus to which you applied for information about your status." It used to say that it was still being evaluated... it would seem to be that a decision has been reached for me...

Mine says basically the same as Winterreverie.

Application Term: Fall 2007
Program: MFA in Film Production, Cinematographer Emphasis
Location: Orange Campus
Application Status: Your application is complete and is currently being evaluated. Please contact the Chapman University campus to which you applied for further information.

It hasn't changed since I found out about the website status page a little over a month ago. I'd call, but I don't think they're going to tell me anything but to wait a little longer.

Well I will cross my fingers and think positively for both of us.

Here's the lates message I got via email from the Chapman Graduate assistant:


You should get an answer within the next few weeks or so, and hopefully no later than April. Decisions are currently being made.


Just thought I'd let you all know.

Thanks for that info. When I finally get contacted, I'll let everyone here know.

I think we should hear something within the next two weeks.... keepin my fingers crossed...

Just got my letter in the mail today.... rejected...

I am really sorry to hear that. Did you apply anywhere else?

Crap. My stomach just sank after I read your post. I'm really sorry things didn't work out with Chapman or UCLA, but keep your chin up.

Well I got in to Chapman... Yay. Now lets just wait and see what UCLA says and I'll decide from there.

Awesome! Without an interview too? I hope I hear something soon so I can figure out what I'm doing with my life.

Oops, I just read from another post that you didn't have an interview. That's interesting... Oh, and just out of curiosity, did your status change on the Chapman website since you received your letter?

I haven't yet recieved the official letter. I actually found out through the chapman application status email. it says:

Application Term: Fall 2007
Program: MFA in Screenwriting
Location: Orange Campus
Application Status: Congratulations! You've been accepted to Chapman
University. Your official notification is forthcoming.

It just changed this morning, so I recommend that everyone who applied check there.

(Although it is a bit anticlimactic compared to actually getting the acceptance letter.)

I had basically given up on the email notification since I've never actually seen it change from exactly what it says right now. I was starting to think it would only get updated well after the fact. But now I guess I'll be checking it every hour or so... Thanks for the heads up.

I am a little bit confused of what the Chapman application status e-mail is. Hello everyone. I have been following this forum the last couple of days, and decided to join. I think it is great that everyone is working together to try and get a better handle on the unfolding of this selection process. I hope everyone finds a place to settle in.

I have applied to Chapman University, and I have been checking for an update on my status through web advisor. In web advisor, I go over to prospective students...then admission status underneath the "admission information" heading. I just want to verify, if this is the same, or a different notification from the application status e-mail.

Thanks for the help in advance, and congratulations, Winterreverie, and to everyone else who has gotten over the bump.

Use the search bar at the bottom and type application status. This will take you to the web page we're all talking about. Enter the email you used to apply and it will send you your current status.
