narrative/fiction + television. you?
Same what other schools have you gotten into?
I got into CSUN and SDSU. Supposedly UCR too but their system is messed up so I’m not 100% sure. I also applied to CSU Fullerton, UC Santa Cruz, and UCSD. I really only want to go to UCLA though. I’ve been dreaming of it since I was 15. :’( I also applied to Cal State Long Beach but I was rejected. you?
Nice! I kind of split the major I was applying for with a couple schools. I applied to SFSU, CSULA and CSUN for film, and applied to Long Beach and Sonoma state for creative writing. So far I got into everything but I still haven’t heard from CSUN which is annoying. Also I was leaning toward them as a back up but the provisional status for their film production major has me kinda iffy. I don’t want to get stuck there and not into the program for some reason, even though I heard it’s a good alternative if you don’t into the big schools like a UCLA or maybe USC for film. I’d probably just end up going to SFSU if UCLA rejects me, though I am gonna check out the CSULA campus just in case. I read online some of the stuff they have like their own soundstage, production computers and a RED camera so I’m intrigued. I’m just really pulling for UCLA tho too ughhh. I’m friends with an alumni that went there and I’m really hoping to tell him I got in haha.
I heard CSU LA is more of a media studies program than a production based program (just a heads up). Yeah, CSUN is supposedly the “Best cinema secret in the valley” but…UCLA is top notch around the world, you know? SFSU is on the same Hollywood best film school list as CSUN though so I’d imagine based on what I’ve heard about SFSU, it should be pretty good!
That’s good to know. And honestly it’s more like a doing my due diligence more than anything with CSULA. I just don’t know much about it. And hey we could be seeing decisions tomorrow potentially right?
there are two things we can do right now…I could be adulty and just be patient and wait for letters to come out…whenever they may be. OR I could ask my best friend to call and see if they’ll have a real answer…
I’m going to be real right now and acknowledge that I’m not at that level of adulting in my life so I’m gonna text my best friend and my boyfriend now and have one of them call because I can’t even lol
lol adulting is overrated @MiniGrace11
lol right! quick update: my best friend called and said that they said:
- Decisions will be released within the next 1-2 weeks! UGHHHHHHHHHHH (they didn't say that last part...I did lol)
- All applicants will be notified of their status via e-mail (acceptance and denials) all at ONE time.
I wish they could just give us a set day that we knew definitively would be the day our decisions came out. I swear I’ve had like three different high stress days because we’ve heard this might be the day lol. The wait is driving me crazy.
same I have to constantly find ways to get out of the house to stay distracted. now I’m binge watching 13 reasons why on Netflix lol. it’s been a very stressful spring break!
THE SUSPENSE
@kscott_2000 I KNOW RIGHT!!! Uggghhhhhhhh Any updates? e-mails? calls? anything??? this is killing me!
NOTHING AHH IM SO NERVOUS
I kinda wanna call again but…I feel like maybe that’s not a good idea. UGH, where is my voice disguiser from 2003!!! I swear if you drew a fake mustache on and used that thing to prank call your parents…it was like you were the best prankster ever!!! …until you got older and your parents say that they knew it was you the whole time but didn’t want to hurt your feelings…also you grow up and realize that drawing on the mustache for a phone call was pointless. I think once I even changed my clothes…10 points for creativity… not so much for logic.
Hahahhaahahahaahah waiting game…this is agony
we will get them either this week or next but I’m just gonna assume its next week! I can’t take it anymore! what dd you send in for your supplementals?
the last day lmao jan 11th i guess… you? or did you mean what did i send in?
I meant what did you send in. lol sorry, my I key is kinda broken.
Well i had my family friend dr. carlisle write one of my recommendations and my theater professor write my other one. I have a heavy resume so i attached that. I put 15 awards…I would’ve done more but i feel like thats too much already lol for the personal I talked about my mom and my projects and how I got here and the things leading up to now. For the challenge I talked about my absent dad so that was…fun lol. for the film analysis I picked Pulp Fiction. And for the creative writing it was a short story about getting on a small plane and think I was going to die lol I’m so worried about that one…Idk if its that strong but oh well…It makes me happy when I read it lol What’d you send?
