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.
I'm sure people sell things from NYU (someone's gotta be paying back their student loans).
NYU appeals to me because you get exposure to all three disciplines.
I don't know much about AFI (production or screenwriting) but from what people have posted on the boards it sounds like a good program that is Hollywood focused.
I only applied to NYU and, if I get in from the waitlist, I'll attend. If not, I'll apply next year to NYU, USC, UCLA, and Columbia.

Well I am completely in the dark about NYU's DW waitlist procedure, but today was the deadline to submit ones declaritive statement as to whether they want to remain on the waitlist, so I would imagine we may not be hearing anything till later in the week at the earliest. Waiting game is the worst, but you just got to hang in there I guess.

Good point about the waitlist deadline. For some reason I thought that deadline had come and gone.
Other than Wenyi, anyone accepted to DWP that declined? Any DWP waitlisters going somewhere else?

Thought I'd add to this post and say "hi" to my future classmates who are on here.
Hi! I'm Devin!
I was accepted to the MBA/MFA dual degree program at NYU, and have my deposit in already. I've been in touch with a couple of my dual degree cohorts, and plenty of the business school kids, but I'm looking forward to meeting the people whose films I'll be producing.
Any of you all with me in NY already?

This question may have been answered long ago (So apologises in advance!), but is there a FB group for the MFA Fall intake students. I know that Tisch Asia has one, but I'm unsure about NY.

Pretty basic, talked to someone in admissions, he said that I am being offered a spot and that if I chose to accept it (not admissions but just the waitlist spot) that admissions will contact me tomorrow with a formal offer. At that point I'll have somewhere to 1-2 weeks to accept.
It seems as though they are trying to make it as painless for waitlisters as possible and really hurry along the process, so I would hold onto hope. I am sure there are still spots open as well as spots to be opened so keep those fingers crossed and best of luck to you!

Thanks for the info. No call for me yet. I assume you told them you were interested in the spot?
Anyone else on the waitlist hear anything?

Very excited. I'm from Cali so I have to look for a place to live. Any suggestions?
Congrats on the acceptance, Andy! I don't have advice on where to live, but do you mind if I ask what time they called you today?
