You’re so lucky that you have a resume! I think that’s what’s really gonna hurt me. I have like…NO EC’s, no work (except like 2 years at Abercrombie) …just one program that I did at UCLA when I graduated from high school. I’m hoping that my essays and supplementals are what will push me through. For my creative writing sample, I sent a 5-page script about a kid that ends up reuniting with his absentee father when they both happen to end up being brought to the same prison. (the dad knows that it’s his kid but the kid doesn’t know that his cell mate is his dad). My personal essay was about how my also millennial parents were always working and in school so they were not around much (which lead to me basically being raised by a television). My life challenge essay was about a stress related anxiety condition that I struggled with for years called trichotillomania, and my critical analysis was on Nerve (wth Dave Franco and Emma Roberts). I got my letters of rec from my English 101+102 professor (who is an alumna) and one from my Communications professor who always loved my work. I was also told that my personal insight essays were very strong (I picked 4,5, and 7) were very strong so…I hope the admissions office agrees. My GPA is a 3.27 but considering that’s a huge step up from my 2.7 in high school…I’m really proud of that. (and I got a 2.7 with a HORRIBLE attendance record and basically dying for like 2 years because of doctors making errors with my medical tests)…I still cry over my 3.27 though. I could have done better if I played it safe in college and took easy A classes, but I wanted to genuinely learn new things and challenge myself a bit.
I think for my Personal statements, one was about how my parents ignored me having ADHD and how that caused problems in my academic career that I had to fix on my own after I turned 18. The second was about how my entire family had kept my dad’s whereabouts a secret from me because he is incarcerated (we had a good over the phone relationship, I just didn’t know where he was for like two years. He just dropped me off at home one day and didn’t come pick me up again.) and number 7 I remember was about how I’m okay with saying “I don’t know.” I forgot what number one was. something about how being an only child lead me to talk to myself and that evolved into creating characters and writing about their lives and turning them to fake TV shows.
Ah thats crazy good! Nerve was so good omg! I think you have a great shot. They dont really care much about gpa for TFT at least.
Thanks! I think you do too! AHHHH the wait is almost over…We’ll know in 10 days…
10?!?!?!? ahhhhh
yes! well ten days after tonight haha. We will have them by the 21st at 5pm no doubt. maybe before then but i doubt it
It’s comforting to know that I am not the only transfer student who is stressing out lol. Why can’t they put us out of our misery already!?!?!?!?!
lol, welcome to the club! #StressedOutTransferInpactedMajorClub2017 Nice to meet ya! Are you a film or theater major?
Should one of us call again? And random question but has anyone seen evidence that they’ve released their decisions earlier than the rest in previous years for tft transfers?
@filmsarecool Yeah. Two of us should call and see if we get the same answers! I have never seen evidence of them getting early decisions but that is what the office has said to almost everyone who has called. Also, consider that for some reason…there isn’t much on TFT transfers on the internet (beyond admission requirements.) This is really the first thread to ACTUALLY have conversations like this for TFT. Most of them just ask simple questions or they stop posting so you never really know when they got the decision or if they got in. Did you end up calling?
The UCLA admissions twitter said that ALL transfers will be notified at the same time via portal but the TFT office said that we will get them earlier via email…so…I’m not sure who has the correct information.
UPDATE: I called with some kind of weird Australian/Britsh/God-only-knows-what accent (because for some reason I feel like they know my voice and I’m paranoid that they think I’m annoying…) but anyway, the woman said that ALL TRANSFERS WILL GET THEIR DECISIONS AT THE SAME TIME REGARDLESS OF MAJOR!
they say that they don’t know when that date is…but they always post decisions for transfers the 3rd Friday of April…
So yeah, I guess we have 10 more days! (9, if you don’t count today.) I don’t care if I have to wait until the 21st tbh. At this point, I’m just glad that we have an EXACT date now.
So I’m glad on some level to know but man I was really hoping to find out sooner 
This freaking wait!
NOOOOO ah thats so farrrrr this isnt fair!!!
What I want to know is why didn’t they just say that from the beginning? They literally gave a different answer to each person that called. I know that the admissions people don’t actually answer the phone but shouldn’t everyone be on the same page so that people are given the correct information? I would have rather known and just waited it out rather than play a guessing game at when they will notify us of their decisions. I know the school gets a lot of applications to check and interviews to do but I still think everyone in the office should be on the same page

in case anyone was wondering… watched pots boil eventually lol
5 more days. I am so ready to stop being this anxious and unsure of my future. Even if I don’t get accepted, at least then I can start planning my next move. I just really want a decision already! /:
And I don’t think I mentioned this before, but I did my critical essay on Shame directed by Steve McQueen.
Whatever happens…I am so proud of all of you and I’m grateful to have found this site <3
So thankful to have found this thread. I’m agonizing, waiting waiting waiting.
This has been the hardest couple of weeks in school of my life. It’s so hard to focus because the decision is all I can think about. And of course this week is taking an eternity lol. Is it Friday yet???
