FSU Film School Waitlisted

Has anyone here been waitlisted from FSU for film production? I interviewed on March 9th and I had to call the school to find out my decision because they never got back to me, and they said I was an alternate. Has anyone been accepted to the school after being an alternate, and after how long? Thanks!

Last year my son found out he was waitlisted end of March, then got the call that he was in the last week in April. It’s a long stressful wait, hang in there and best of luck to you!!

@loribale They never called me- I had to call them on April 9th and then they finally told me I was on the waitlist. Di they ever make him wait that long or tell him how high he was on the waitlist?

He got an e-mail saying he was on the waitlist. We called to ask them questions about the waitlist and they said they couldn’t tell them ranking but said it was a short alternative list so he decided to commit to FSU in hopes he would eventually get the call, which he did last week in April. If he hadn’t gotten the call, the plan was for him to volunteer his freshman year for FSU films so they could get to know him and reapply as a transfer. He knows 2 that did this and got in for next year.

@loribale Do you think there’s a reason they might have waited so long to tell me I was on their waitlist?

I don’t know…maybe they were contacting everyone via e-mail after you called them. Hang in there…I remember how stressful this was on me and my son.
