<p>aamseeley- YAYY! CONGRATS! I'm so happy for everyone who has gotten in!</p>
<p>Congrats to those who have been accepted. Has any one heard from the film department? We live in the Southeast.</p>
<p>So I got anxious and emailed the Admissions Counselor for the School of Theater:</p>
<p>"Hello Seth,</p>
<p>I just have one question. I am an active member of a forum geared toward college students in regards to admissions, choosing the right school for you, questions about certain schools, etc. From the forum I have learned that some out of state and International students have already received their decisions, but us Californians are still waiting. One person said CalArts decisions are sent out in waves, and another said they are first sent out to International and out of state students. Is this true? When will us Californians get our decisions? (Okay, okay, that was two questions.) I'm so anxious!</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Adrienne [last name]"</p>
<p>and I just got a reply:</p>
<p>"Hi Adrienne,</p>
<p>All of our letters have to be funneled through our Admissions director, who personally signs them, which makes for quite a process. It also means that various batches are sent at a time. You should be receiving a letter from us within the next two weeks or so. Please contact me after April 1 if you have note received anything.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks so much adriennevy!</p>
<p>I live in Laguna Beach and I just got my acceptance letter yesterday for the Film & Video Dept. I'm so so so excited to be able to go there!</p>
<p>CONGRATS OCLAIRE!</p>
<p>I got in too! For character animation!</p>
<p>and yes, my boyfriend and i got the same big brightly colored envelope that says "congradulations" on the back!</p>
<p>Congratulations to the both of you! I'm still painfully waiting!</p>
<p>Congrats to oclaire. My son applied to film/video as well. We live in the southeast and are hoping for a letter next week. Congrats to all who have been admitted and good luck to those waiting.....</p>
<p>My son received the brightly colored envelope today. He got it just before he departed for his Senior Prom. He was accepted into Character Animation. This was quite the long shot, so we were all amazed... and he is on cloud nine!!!</p>

<p>Does he have his portfolio online? I'd love to see it! YAY finally another character animator on this forum :D</p>
<p>Actually, I asked him about posting it and he doesn't really remember exactly which pieces went in. He has digitals of everything, but he sent portfolios in to USC, RISD, RIT and CALARTS - and each was very different. His CALARTS portfolio had about 12 human and animal gesture drawings, a couple of contours, and a few of the "others". He did send in an animation demo reel. You might be able to find some of his animations if you search YouTube for Jadehorse Productions.</p>
<p>Anybody going to the accepted student event on April 5? It'll be my first time at the school...I can't wait.</p>
<p>I hope so.... but then again I haven't been accepted (or rejected!) yet. Wanting to run home and check the mail makes focusing at work so much harder.</p>
<p>My son is still waiting to hear about film/video. Anyone heard from that department yet???????</p>
<p>On the last page there was a person from Laguna that got their letter for the film/video dept. on Friday. Good luck to your son!</p>
<p>Anyone hear anything else yet?</p>
<p>I'm going crazy here. Haven't heard anything yet. Every time I pull up to my house when I get home from work my heart starts racing in anticipation of opening that mail box.</p>
<p>This can't be good for my health.</p>
<p>yes, i heard from film and video a week ago exactly and my boyfriend heard from the music dept. about a month+ ago. We're for sure going to the new students day!</p>
<p>Rejected, Acting BFA. I guess I'm not surprised. Congratulations to everyone admitted to CalArts this fall and good luck with your careers!</p>
<p>I'm sorry to hear that adriennevy! I'm sure you'll get to where you're supposed to be (: Do you have a second choice school you'd like to attend?</p>
<p>I'm actually going onto UC Berkeley if I get accepted.</p>
