Hi everyone,
I didn't receive the package yet because I live abroad. I have a science background, but I'm an international student. Do they mention whether or not an international student is eligible for the Alfred P Sloan scholarship? Thanks for your help

Hi Maxence
The memorandum sent from AFI does not mention American citizenship as a prerequisite. You can find more information on the sloan website. www.sloan.org

It doesn't matter if you are outside of the United States. Anyone who has been accepted as a fellow and has a science background is eligible to apply.

Hey folks,

Just a quick message to let you know that I received a rejection letter from AFI today. This is the seventh rejection for me thus far, and right now, I am all about Chapman. At least I don't have to worry about getting caught in acceptance offer limbo. If Chapman floats me an offer, I'm jumping on it like a hungry lion.

Thanks for all your continuing support,

J.G.

I think I'll give them a call, too (they already made the decisions, so it can't hurt to bug them), but I don't think I'll learn anythng.

Filmgirl, I fear that Brian may have been cagy with his response as a way to avoid telling you that you haven't been accepted.

I mean, if he told you something like "everyone should have heard by now," then he would be essentially revealing your status before your official notification. I don't think they can do that over the phone.

Of course, that's just my gut feeling. I suppose that there *is* still some hope for us. But do yourself a favor and assume the worst right now. Better than you get a surprise in a few days than a fading hope, which dies a slow and painful death, culminating in a depressingly thin envelope.

(man, I am such a downer today)


You are full of crap. I'm not that gullible to believe your stories. You just wanted to f&#* with everyone on this forum.

@cinegirl1999: What? his "stories"? why would he just want to **** with people on the forum? Look, I know the internet is a weird place, but there's no reason to go around accusing people of being trolls and liars on a film school applicant forum unless they're just totally out of line. Everyone is trying to figure out the process and make sense of it and that's all heywetried was doing in his post.

He was obviously making up stories. You should read his old posts. He was trying to make AFI look bad by making outlandish claims and accusations. He was obviously very bitter that he was not accepted.

I just looked at his past posts (he hasn't posted anything since 2008) and well, other than someone who is sad he didn't get into school (obviously understandable) he posted on multiple forums for multiple schools and really didn't seem to be starting any kind of smear campaign. Just because someone has a different experience or a different opinion of a school than you doesn't mean they're conspiring against anyone.

Anyway, it's kind of a moot discussion since that poster hasn't posted here since 2008. That's a long time ago.
