Bandar,
Gosh you are great. Now. I am getting love! thanks. Thanks for your vote of confidence. I really appreciate your kind offer, but I'm not sure if that will actually help me--contacting your professor with my name. Who is your old professor? Are you an NYU grad? What I believe will help me more is to know "the skinny" on the program and the teachers who are planning to be there. Also, I'm curious as to the play you are mentioning that used A/V in a new way? Glad you appreciate my humour.
cheers,

Bandar,

Not sure if you missed my question before, but were you accepted to NYU NYC or NYU Asia?

I think I asked before but not sure if I got a reply.

FL,

Sorry I missed your question in the previous post. I was accepted into the MFA Film Production program for the NYU Tisch Asia.

Luverboy,

No I didn't go to NYU for undergrad, however my playwrighting professor (James Farrell) at the University at Albany was also a professor in the Dramatic Writing program @ NYU.

I honestly forgot the name of the play that I saw but I will find out and let you know!

All the best,

Bandar

Bandar, thanks. Interesting James Farrell is not listed on NYU's website. Would you email him ask about the Dramatic Writing program at Tisch-Asia. Who are the instructors and what's the buzz? Unless of course, you and louvonsalome are still, ahem *"busy"*

Luverbouy,

Me and louvonsalome are just friends! lol

I'm not sure if he is still working @ NYU, but I will e-mail him and ask him about the Dramatic Writing program @ Tisch Asia!

Are you a located in NYC now?

Bandar,

Ok, thanks, I didn't even know you applied to NYU, I thought you had your heart set on AFI and that was it.

Congrats, brother!

Just tried calling NYU to see if there were any updates. Also to see if they could just euthanize me and put me out of my misery. No one picked up...

Ha - I tried that as well and was transfered to 3 different places, and no one picked up...

You guys should talk to Dan Sandford, Director of Graduate Admissions.

He usually always picks up and is extremely helpful!

I tried calling too, no dice.

I guess I'll try the Dan Sandford guy?

okay! I just called and left a message for Dan Sandford too. Er...yup. Back to waitin.

Hey guys,

I believe people who are waitlisted will begin hearing back beginning next week.

The deadline for those to hand in their deposits was May 1st. So I'm guessing by Monday some of you will hear whether or not you are off the waitlist.

Inside scoop has it that there aren't a lot of people who are on the waitlist. 100 were interviewed, 36 received spots, about another 36 were rejected flat out. That leaves roughly 28 spots for the waitlist.

Some of the people who are on the waitlist have decided on other schools. So I'm guessing there are about 20 people left on that waitlist (again, this is an educated guess).

You figure about 25-30% of the people accepted will decline their invitation and accept other schools offers (Columbia has been rocking out!)... that leaves about 10 spots open for the 20 waitlisted people.

So if my math is right (just so you know, I'm very horrible at math) those who are on the waitlist have a 1 out of 2 chance of getting in.

I did get called today and offered a spot with Tisch-Asia for Dramatic Writing. Yay. I have some details to work out, not sure if this can happen for me. I think more calls will be made for this program, I have to let them know by 15 May. Thanks everyone!

Cheers,
LB

HEllo,

In Singapore now. Am happy to share thoughts. Congrads.

Krosenbe, thanks. exciting. How are you liking things? Any idea how many students in your class? You are in for MFA in Film Production right? I have so many questions; I'm in NYC and hoping to meet with a Department Head next week to discuss the program. The more I am learning, the more I am liking about Singapore in general. What's the buzz on instructors for Dramatic Writing?

Hi all,

I was accepted to NYU MFA in NY but I think I'll be going to Columbia instead. Will inform NYU of my decision on Monday, tomorrow. That means another space for some of you on the waitlist!

Anyway, I'm a Singaporean and I've been making short films in Singapore for the past 8 years or so. If any of you need information on living in Singapore and the film scene in Singapore, feel free to ask me. I'd love to help. Ask me here or email me at caperkirs@gmail.com.

Kirs, Actually, I will email you in private, if you would prefer. Do you know much about housing near Tisch-Asia? I am a New Yorker who is used to walking but having things convenient. Also, do you know anything about theater/film opportunities for American actors there in Singapore? My main priority is the writing program, but I am originally an actor and would be curious what kind of film, theater, improv, commercial, voiceover opportunities there could be for me.
thanks a bunch, Congrats on Columbia!

Great! I'll email you in private, what's your email luverboy? I'll be going to New York so I may have some questions for you as well.

luverbouy,

I am a New Yorker as well. I think its best to communicate my feelings about the school via email. Drop me one, and i'll share all of my thoughts.

-Kate
