Chapman Film Waitlist - Help?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Chapman University
21

I want to one day direct and edit live and animated films for Disney, hoping to steer them away from remakes and live actions!

22

@emiliafilms are you writing the waitlist letter? I already wrote like 5 drafts and 2500 words ?

23

Yes!! I wrote waaay too much for mine and had to try and cut it down! I hope it turned out ok, showed it to my school counselor and the submitted it two days ago ?Wishing you lots of luck with yours!! and sorry for the late reply, I havenā€™t been able to log into my account until it worked today for some reason??

24

Iā€™m submitting mine tomorrow morning. Iā€™ve written 8 drafts ? goshhhhhhh

25

you got this!!! I bet itā€™s great!

26

Best luck to us all!

Has anyone on the waitlist for film production heard back? My friend got off the waitlist recently but it was for business.

I really hope Chapman accepts people off their waitlist before May because I just got WL from tisch nyu and I really am lost

Rooting for them to pull you from the WL!

I feel the pain. Waitlisted at Tisch, Dodge, and Syracuse VPA. Got into Emerson media production so I might just commit there.

31

@Lucky_App Thank you I really hope all of us filmmakers (even though will clearly do what we love anywhere) go where we feel at home!

@egf200 are you going to wait for waitlist for any?

32

@CindyLeuWho currently on the waitlist for all. If I were to get into Tisch I would definitely go, but Dodge I would have to think about. Dodge is very far from where I live and NYU would be more ethical. That being said, I did get into Florida Stateā€™s College of Motion Picture Arts, Emerson Media Production, and Fordhamā€™s film major. If I end up not getting off any waitlists Iā€™ll probably go to Emerson, and if I end up just getting off the Syracuse one Iā€™ll probably stick to Emerson.

33

@CindyLeuWho but honestly, Iā€™m really sorry you didnā€™t get in. You seem extremely passionate about Dodge and super overqualified. I hope you get in you deserve it.

It is my dream school since itā€™s location is safe unlike usc, but it has all the uptodate technology unlike other schools like fordham. You make multiple movies per year and the people are so nice.
Iā€™ve done a lot to prove my worth to them and I would be where I am without a few friends (I owe them my life).
All I can do now is hope!

I heard Floridaā€™s film program is actually really renown and they well prepared people for the industry! I really hope you get off your wait lists too and hear some good news! I did Tisch for a month during the summer (but waitlisted for undergrad) but it was amazing so I hope the best for you in regards to that!

CindyLeuWho got in to NYU. In researching LMU, she is getting really excited about what they have to offer and what they are developingā€¦

LMU offered generous merit scholarships and NYU none. She loves both and after much research and consideration, CindyLeuWho committed to LMU! Go Lions!!

@egf200 Where did you commit to while waiting? Is Chapman the only school you will withdraw for?
