Documentary MFA 2016

Hi there,

Couldn't find many threads on Documentary Film MFA programs, and I'm dying of anxiety. Anyone on my boat? I applied to Duke and School of Visual Arts, did my interview with SVA two weeks ago, no news from Duke yet.

Hi! Slightly different boat but I applied for Photojournalism type programs (and some general mfa photography ones too). I applied to Duke as well for documentary studies (but with a photo instead of film emphasis) I haven't heard anything from them yet either.

Hi Cho333,

I also applied to Northwestern & Duke and haven't heard anything from them yet.

Can I ask how your interview went with Northwestern? How long was it? What questions did they ask you?

Thanks!

It was a brief interview, about 10 mins. We tried Skype first but they couldn't get the sound well. So we did it through phone.

They mainly asked about what project do you want to do. what can you bring to the community? 

And you can ask questions if you have any.

It was kind of light conversation, teachers seems nice.

Hope we both get good news !

Thanks Cho333! 

I still haven't heard anything from Northwestern yet... So a little bit anxious. 

Gradstatus says decisions will begin to roll out end of March/Early April so I'm hoping I will still have a shot! 

Hope you hear back from them soon too!

For those of you applied to Northwestern MFA in Documentary Media and haven't still heard back from them yet like me, 

I just got a reply from the program cooridnator that they are still in the review process and the notification will go out end of March / early April.

crossing my fingers now!

April 15th!! That's so late, I have to decide for a few of the schools I'm already in before then. I've been told it's okay to email and ask if you need to make a decision on another acceptance, has anyone done that? I don't want to seem to pushy or rude but also I can't wait much longer :/

Hi Sandeep P,

I emailed the admissions and they notified me that I'm on the waitlist. 

Hoping to get off soon!
