Cinemaaa

Hey all, Loved this survey, thought I would introduce myself a bit more. I'm ducking and covering as I say this, but I was the Chicago admit on the boards. Looks like we might be hearing from Brown or Yale soon. Best of luck to everyone, and all that defend the cinematic arts 1) MA or PhD? PhD 2) What do you want to do with your degree? Teach! Young people keep you young and beautiful when you are old, whithered, and full of disease. Kind of like virgin's blood. 3) What is your undergrad degree in? Comp Lit all the way baby 4) What topics do you want to study? Bodies in pain, bodies in peril, bodies doing unnatural things. 5) What's the #1 thing you concentrated on when working on your apps? SOP 6) What's the thing you fear the most about being accepted and if accepted are you going to pimp up your dorm or apartment like a true movie diva? Judith Butler. I'm going to write a screenplay called "Who's Afraid of Judith Butler?" 7) Do you like making movies or just studying the history, theory and criticism of films? Theory, very much. I have Caputo on my bedside table. 8) Do you even like going to the movies? No. I went to a Hipster nest to watch Das Weisse Band and someone faux snored at the end. Never again. Never. Again. 9) When people know you want to study film don't you always hate it when they ask you, "What's your favorite movie?" I give them a top 5, like Rob 10) Tell me a story about talking to someone about applying and them "not getting you". "I thought you were a Neuroscientist"...wow.

Hey All, Looks like the UC Berkeley acceptances are in (at least the first round) and I got lucky. They're doing fly-outs around early March. Good luck to everyone, and yay Cinema!! p.s. when people ask me that every present, always inflammatory question of "vat is your faaaavorite movie?" I always give them a quick respond: "Audition". For those that know, it shuts them up. For those that don't...well...I... who isn't a commensurate aficionado of Miike? I ask you now.

Just got an email of admission to the Film Track in Rhetoric. They're going to be flying admits out the beginning of March. Wishing everyone good luck with this one...a tough dept.
