<p>did lots of films for my school like recruitment stuff</p>
<p>hey, yeah i'm the girl americanbeauty is talkign abt who got into NYU film but not LMU film. so i was rejected from LMU. </p>
<p>but then again, wen u look at my stats, i REALLY wonder how i got into NYU film...</p>
<p>gpa-3.3 uw (SERIOUS DOWNWARD TREND-but there was a reason for it--family issues, and i wrote abt it in an essay); 3.5 w
act-30
sat-1880
-my film essay was REALLY REALLy good. and because of that, i dont understand why i was rejected. like, i mean, REALY good. unless LMU doesnt want ppl like me.....
ecs->lots of good stuff... a lot of it centers around fashion designing, vp of fashion club, etc etc. broadcast media club, work experience... yeah. </p>
<p>oh wells. at least it makes my college decisions easeir...</p>
<p>wow thats great, coolrena. i didn't get into NYU film early desicion. seems like they liked your EC's and portfolio a lot!</p>
<p>I heard Kanbar looks almost entirely at your portfolio, and slightly at the other aspects of your application. Basically if you have an outstanding portfolio and it wows them your basically in, they will even swallow an applicant with less than stellar SATs and GPA. I was hoping that would happen with me...but i guess not.</p>
<p>Au contraire, I've heard that NYU Film wants students who could get into the school itself too and not just talented writers/filmmakers.</p>
<p>I'm very proud of my NYU and USC portfolios, so whatever. Their loss.</p>
<p>that would make more sense, but hey its their crazy admissions process, who knows what they really look at. I'm proud of my portfolios for both schools also, but I accept the fact that there might be someone who had a way better portfolio than mine.</p>
<p>anybody have a clue about the odds on undergrad wait list?</p>
<p>I'm sure NYU got tons of amazing portfolios. NYU brings so much talent to the table. I'd love to read some applicant's portfolios just to see what they can do. But we should also be proud since we worked hard!</p>
<p>I also got into NYU film and got rejected from LMU film. They said my academic qualifications were not as high as they would have liked, or something like that... I don't remember the letter exactly and I doubt I kept it... and I would have considered going to LMU over NYU had I gotten in. oh well.</p>
<p>Really? NYU film is like 10x better in my opinion.</p>
<p>but they direct there student differently, NYU is more indie focused, while LMU is more industry focused.</p>
<p>My application is still being reviewed...</p>
<p>Anybody that was accepted can you please scan or post your acceptance letter here. Dont forget to blackout or change your name in the picture or post. Thank You!</p>
<p>This is strange how so many of you guys had to wait so long for an answer for LMU. They sent me a letter about a month after I sent in my application saying they would make their final decision with my semester grades. I had those sent in within a week and I got an acceptance letter about a week and half from sending in my semester grades.</p>
<p>does anyone know how many people are wait listed this year?</p>
<p>Has anyone had a decision from LMU recently? I'm still waiting to hear - I live in England so the mail will take a lot longer to reach me! I'm going crazy waiting...</p>

<p>Cweaveruk,</p>
<p>You need to call today. There have been many "glitches" this year with notifications. Don't wait for snail mail. Make the call.</p>
<p>you should email them...and say it's your first choice</p>
<p>Thanks aaam90 - I did just that!</p>
<p>They got back to me pretty quickly and said I'm on the waitlist. I guess everyone who's in will have heard already.</p>
