Congrats Placebo! That is short notice.

I'm trying not to get discouraged... somewhere I read not all people have to interview.

Keeping fingers crossed for all West Coaster screenwriting folks.

Update: I just called student services and they said MFA screenwriting candidates are still in review so more people may be called in to interview.


Hoorah!

Apparently directing candidates are still in review as well... which seems odd to me. I recall one of the directing applicants who got invited to interview saying that he was told 61 applicants had been chosen to interview. If the number of interviewees had already been decided, why are they still reviewing now? Maybe they've decided to interview more directing applicants after the first round?

Anyway, I was told that more interview invitations will be going out in the next week or two.

It's quite possible that they interviewed people and were like, "yuck, that batch sucked" haha, so they decided they needed to see more than 61 heh. But whoooo knows.

When they sent out the interview email, they said 61 people will be interviewed and they gave a list of dates that went into April to choose from. They've only interviewed about 15 or so people so far because there have only been two allotted interview dates. The next ones are this weekened and a weekend in mid April.

I still stand by my theory that the interview isn't THAT important...

I was in the first batch requested to interview and don't actually have mine until mid April, so they are definitely still interviewing. The interviews are still for the first round though. I just got accepted to Columbia so am not nearly as nervous about this interview, but still working on my short film idea. How did that part go for everyone?

What do you mean by "first batch" or "first round"?

mykefilm - I am an MFA screenwriting applicant. The interview went well, I think. Very chatty, off-the-cuff stuff. Relaxed. I'm glad I went, even though it cost me about $350.
Professor Ackerman said he hopes to send out decisions by the end of next week - so early April.

hey all, I just got my rejection notice to UCLA. I guess I will apply again next year. I am still planning to move to LA anyways in July. Maybe I will meet some of you out there.

Cheers,
Myke

I had my screenwriting interview last saturday and also got the Professional program pitch pretty hard. I did get some questions about my likes and dislikes, why I pursued certain things that I've pursued, etc. I don;t know if I answered the questions as well as I could have. I'm wondering if the Professional program pitch is standard or what? Also, I'm curious, pintobeans and a plan unfurled, what times were your interviews scheduled at? I'm wondering the same for dharmagirl and icarus ascending? well, good luck to everyone!

Mine was in NYC last Saturday at 2:00. Were you there, filmin?

It sounds like from both applicants this year and people who got in last year, the professional program infomercial is standard. Don't sweat.

Good luck to you, too!

Just to let everyone who is waiting know: I recieved a rejection letter via email this morning.

It's a little bittersweet, as they wrote that though I was in the top 25% they just had too many applicants (~500!)

Did anyone else get this letter?

yeah - i got the same letter this morning. Honestly, I'm surprised I was in the top 25% - the application was due nov 1st and I didn't know what I was doing. It took me a couple more weeks to warm up and send out some better apps.
No big loss here. I don't think i would have gone even if i got in.
Good luck to the rest.
