Hi everyone,
I am new to the site but I have been reading the posts. I just wanted to know if anyone has heard back from UCLA for the MFA production program? I am a nervous wreck. Does anyone know when they should make a decision?

i'm in the same boat
had my interview but haven't heard anything yet
:-/

When did you have your interview? Which was it for directing or cinematography?

April 23.

I just heard back (MFA cinematography) through email. I am number 1 on the waitlist. I had my interview on the 5th of april.

Directing still has two interview dates this Saturday and Sunday. I think people will be notified after those are taken care of.

Does this mean that those who haven't had interviews aren't getting in?

I had my MFA cinematography interview on the 5th as well.
What time was yours?
we may have cross paths. mine was at 4.
i haven't heard anything though.
guess thats not a good sign.

Yeah you have to be interviewed to get in.

Mine was sat at 10:30 am. I am really bummed. I am hoping One of the people accepted gets offered a better deal elsewhere so that I could go to UCLA.

I wouldn't say that, I emailed them last night to ask about my status and they responded.

Yeah i'm pretty much going out of my mind.
But am mostly trying to accept that this likely isn't gonna work out for me this time. Doesn't make any sense to have a waitlist w/o having informed the admits.

Well got my "alternate" status message today.
Was yours a vauge as mine in saying that if there was a fourth spot you'd have gotten in or was it more specific?

yea

congrats.
which problem was she aiming for?

big brother...

was it for Screenwriting or Production?

Anyone else hear anything?

I got my rejection email this morning. Kinda bummed but I knew from the interview that I didn't give the best impression. I guess it's going to be UT for me..

I got the same rejection e-mail. I'm 2.5 for 5 at this point, so it looks like I may be reapplying again next year.

BUT it can't all be bad news, anyone get accepted?

I was waitlisted last year for the Directing MFA. So, I moved to LA from the midwest, took every professional film/screenwriting class i could at UCLA, had an interview AGAIN this year, and guess what?

not even waitlisted this year. rejected.

**** film school.
