I'm sorry. That's tough news.

I'm trying again next year. Smile I'll take the year to improve and will continue to write.

I feel you guys.

I honestly blame the poor interview process. At least the questions they asked for me, and the rushed nature of my interview (it was at the end of the day and only 2 people interviewed me because 1 person had to step out and help a student). I definitely did not feel they got to know me at all.

It sucks cause I was hoping to go to a big name like UCLA...but I guess it's not a bad consolation to go to UT-Austin.

Good luck to those who got in and those who are applying again next year.

It's off topic but which section is easier to get into Director or Cinematography? I hear Directing is harder. I just want to get into the program.

The directing emphasis is harder to get into. Some even try to sneak in the cinematography route. The commonly invite the same person back for two or even three interviews before accepting them. And in some cases they don't take them that time either.
