Documentary Film Programs

[Peter Lisignoli]

So far I haven't seen any documentary film programs in the results page aside from Stanford. Anybody out there apply to any noteworthy programs? Any results?

I applied to the following schools and have not heard back from any of them.

Stanford MFA in Documentary Film

Duke MFA in Experimental and Documentary Arts

UC Santa Cruz DANM (Not really a documentary program but a digital arts program)

CU Boulder MFA in Film

I'm in the same boat, I cant seem to find that many graduate Documentary programs. I'm looking to apply for Fall 2013 but I figure I might as well start looking. Did you get into Stanford?

[catawampus]

I applied to Duke. Still waiting on some word.

I just received my acceptance to the Wake Forest Documentary Film MFA. So excited. It was my first choice. Stanford's program was way too much $$$ for me to even consider. WFU cuts the price of tuition significantly for the doc students, making it doable.

[Aviva Schnoll]

I applied to Duke also. No word yet. Argh! i see that they have also extended the application date which worries me

[PeopleCallSayBewareDoll]

I'm waiting anxiously to hear back from Duke too :-/

[Aviva Schnoll]

We'll probably get no word this next week either. I looked at their academic calendar and they are on Spring Break! Ahhhh the torment ~

[PeopleCallSayBewareDoll]

ahhhhhhh no! this waiting is a drag

[Caroline Sinders]

i haven't heard back from Duke either!

I applied to ITP, UNC for Journalism, and LSE.

This is driving me to madnessssssssssssss!

[Aviva Schnoll]

Anyone heard anything yet???

[sammie]

Did anyone apply to the Social Documentation program at UCSC?

I haven't heard a peep from them.

[catawampus]

Still no word from Duke. I called admissions and was told that I'd know "before April 15." Apparently they make their PHD decisions before MA/MFA so looks like we've gotta wait. ;/

[Aviva Schnoll]

Hopefully it will be a little sooner. I emailed Teka and she said we should know by March 31st. Keep breathing

I was told yesterday by a Duke employee that it wasn't likely that we would hear until April.

Just got word!

on the alternates list!

I got that decision letter too from Duke. Is it mean that we are on the waitlist? Or just an another form of rejection?

[catawampus]

Yes, we are waitlisted. Hopefully all the people granted admission will decide soon so we'll know whether or not we've been pulled from the pool. Here's to hoping!

[skadish]

I applied to the Duke MFA program too, and am curious as to how you received their decision.  I've been waiting for months now, and haven't heard anything at all.

[Mauve23]

Hi Skadish,

 

I received my rejection letter today.  So far it seems that people have been notified of their decision this week.

[bunception]

To all of you who applied to Duke's MFA Experimental Documentary program, were any of you interviewed prior to a decision?

I had a friend who got an admission last year. He said no interview, just the admission.

I applied to Duke this year. You, too? @bunception

no word yet

Nice to hear! I've been wondering if no interview meant no chance. Yep I applied to Duke, fingers crossed for both of us
