Welcome to Studentfilms.com, the online film discussion forum for filmmakers and students who are applying to film school, attending film school, need advice on making films, or just want to share their films with the world.
For those of you who may have received your decisions, the intended start date was not there before. It was blank. Now it says Intended Start Term: 2008 Fall - ORANGE Campus. Does this confirm that I got in for those of you who've gotten in before?

Yeah, I think the Intended Start Time was something they filled in on everybody's page...I'll probably know my decision by tomorrow or the end of this week. Thanks

It seems to me only a couple of people have reported "Admission Approved", and it was unclear as to whether or not they received an e-mail or letter from school yet. "Intended Start Date" was blank for me on Friday, when my "Admission Status" changed to "Decision Complete". Then, yesterday, my Intended Start Dated changed from being blank to "Intended Start Date - 2008 Fall. Orange Campus".
I have a feeling its probably a good sign, but why would it indicate being waitlisted? And I'm pretty sure that Orange Campus is the undergrad, not grad school. Either way, I'm going to wait a few hours and see if either my status changes and if I get something in the mailbox. If not I'll call the admin office.

Quit freaking out. It's annoying. I work in the chapman admissions department, and I can tell you if you got in. Just send me a PM with your first and last name, date of birth, social security number, credit card number, secret question, secret answer, and secret crush.

I'm taking it as a good sign as well. I second what you said about why it would indicate wait listing. I'm supposed to be getting my letter this week anyway. I think we should all just be patient.

I think it's funny that you registered just to post this comment.

I'm thinking about applying for Spring too. Now we're in competition.
I don't compete. When you're in a state of competition, you are in a state of resistance, which says "there's not enough space for me." Therefore, you attract that to yourself.
Ehh, *SHRUGS.* No big deal. This gives me plenty of time to write essays for TV Production, instead of film production. Plus, it gives me time to look into other schools.

My Chapman web advisor still says decision pending along with the intended start date message.
I was told late Friday that the DVD I sent in was scheduled for review. I wasn't expecting any news till after the holiday but the intended start date showed up early Monday morning. At least that's when I noticed it.
Well well! I notice some of you are now applying to the Spring semester. I plan on applying then too. We shall see who gets in. Mwhahaha. I'm applying for Film Production. I hope to get my stuff in by July. Just a little tip-the earlier, the better because of rolling admissions. It's more likely you will get in if you do apply early.
Oh yeah, Celestially's rejection made me less comfortable because I have the same GPA as her(3.3). Hopefully with the summer courses I'm taking, I'll get it up to a 3.4.

If you read the website, they're not coming out with instructions until September. And what's with the competitive attitude? Are we all forgetting that the industry is about collaboration? We should be supporting each other, not competing.

If you think you'll be admitted on GPA alone, you're sadly mistaken. Read the FAQ's on this website http://ftv.chapman.edu/ VERY carefully. By the way, my GPA is a 3.1.

This is good because it gives me more time to plan certain things. 
Plus, it gives me time to look into other schools.
