I hope the interview went smoothly and this will be your year. Good luck and best wishes.
I just got an interview request an hour ago. Who else got it?
I just got an email for an interview for the EWSP too. I signed up for May 2nd to give myself some time.
Congrats! What time did you get it?
About an hour ago, so 12:00 Central Time
Also got the request! very exciting.
Mine’s next thursday. Best day that worked for me and I like getting it done soon.
Do we know how many people got the request last year or
Cool, congratulations!
Also received a request!
No interview request for me. I guess I will be rejected huh.
Would you mind to share a little bit of your background?
I doubt they would release that info. I imagine it is directly tied to the number of people offered slots.
Sure! 25 YO filmmaker/videographer based out of Arkansas. Been working for around 8 years in/out of the industry.
My goal with Yale is to combine economics and film in order to innovate new methods/models in the content creation/acquisition/distribution space. The whole industry is shifting due to digital, streaming, etc. and I believe that a foundation in econ from a program as challenging and connected as Yale would help. Would be a great bridge into consulting/exec/biz parts of the industry and would give a me a totally different edge than most other filmmakers I meet with strictly artistic backgrounds.
In terms of school, I went back to comm college in Fall of 20. Currently have a 4.0 through two years. Retook my ACT and got a 33 (34 Super). Was mostly involved with Model UN on campus as a team captain and served as Honors Student Association president this past year.
Not really a ton of traditional ECs (besides the two I mentioned) since I’m full time in my career and spent much of 20-21 developing and shooting a 20 minute short film.
I know that’s all pretty detailed but there ya go
I hope I get in and you get in. My most recent “project” is to resurrect and save the life of an artist whose become a hermit past 20. She was quite well known/prolific/showed 80 exhibitions around the world but unfortunately due to her connection to Ken moffett and clem Greenburg she was both catapulted and crushed. It’s been incredibly impactful in terms of my study of art, feminism, and practical skills in terms of collection management and hanging shows. We are also working to fill boxes of information to be sent to the American Archive at the Smithsonian.
… All of this while as a senior with no income she is facing foreclosure and homelessness.
The goal is to save her life and then use a creative outlet to make people aware of her work in today’s canon. We have a book possibility after the dust settles.
Can we please work on a documentary together? After all, my claim that visual art and oral storytelling is equal to other fields of expression, is the point.
I applied and interviewed last year, applied again this year and have not been asked to interview, though I see the admissions update does not stipulate the second interview as mandatory this cycle. Fingers crossed. Good luck to all 
Wow, it’s pretty cool. I am really looking forward to meet you at Yale, because some of the films might be aroused attention to society for those people who need help. This is a big goal for me with Yale. However, I still do not receive my interview. Best luck for you!
The interview selection will be notified on a rolling basis until April 25th. Some people said on this thread that the second interview is necessary for gaining admission. However, I was not able to see such information anywhere from Yale’s own source. Was it specifically stated last cycle that the second interview is a must?
You are right. Second interview is not mandatory.
Hi all!
Current EWSP student - admitted last year. I figured I’d hop on here and pay it forward, let me know if you have any general questions! Good luck!
