Hi, everyone! I couldn’t find a thread for film applicants for Fall 2017, so I figured I’d make one. I found out that UCLA TFT interviews prospective students, and I’m wondering what the chances are that someone makes it into the interview process. Also, if I happen to make it to the interview stage, what are the odds that I get accepted from that point? Does being interviewed guarantee a spot on the accepted list of students?
Hi Elise! Congratulation! I guess your chance would be great since the interview is granted. Unfortunately I haven’t received the interview notification,sad… though I have no idea if they do not send out the message altogether.
Anyway, only 30-45 freshmen get interviews annually, and from the past experience on CC, it seems that there’s still a chance to be rejected even if you’re invited to the interview. But the chance is quite low.
Hello @alistairyang ! Thank you! That’s exciting then! And yes, hopefully they are still sending out invitations to interview! I’d love to hear about your experience applying to film school!
@AlastairYang Hi! Where did you see the people that got the interview but didn’t get into TFT on college confidential?

At #13.
Does anyone know how many get accepted?
Last year 122 applicants got accepted out of 2,773 applications
@bcnbound Thanks for the stats! IS that undergrad only or undergrad and graduate?
It says freshman admissions so I’m guessing undergrad!

@bcnbound Thank you! That figure includes theater as well as film students. Not sure how many fall into each category. I thoguht there were only 15 to 20 in film enrolled (not accepted?)
are you a first year prospective undergraduate student?
Hi! I’m a transfer applicant of UCLA TFT as well (theatre major). I had an interview in January… Hope they release the decisions soon! This anxiety drives me crazy xP
