bunception Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 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.
Aubreylmoore Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 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.
bunception Posted March 4, 2016 Author Posted March 4, 2016 @Aubreylmoore SO HAPPY TO FIND A FELLOW PHOTOJOURNALIST! I work in still and moving images, and emphasized the latter on my application to Duke. Do you know if they interview MFA candidates at all?
Aubreylmoore Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Sorry I don't know :/ still haven't heard anything from them. Have you?
bunception Posted March 7, 2016 Author Posted March 7, 2016 @Aubreylmoore nada here too. I've read somewhere that they announce PhD candidates first, so maybe we'll hear something toward the latter half of March :-/
Aubreylmoore Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I hope so! where else did you apply? This is my list, I applied to both more specific photojournalism type programs and general MFA photography ones too Pratt Rejected Bard Rejected RISD No word yet MICA No word yet Syracuse University Accepted Uconn No word yet RIT No word yet Duke No word yet George Washington No word yet Ohio University No word yet

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

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 !
Kim2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 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!
Kim2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 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!
Kim2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Just got a reply from Duke! they will start rolling out decisions from now until April 15th! Ted says they don't do interviews for MFA EDA program. good luck everyone
Aubreylmoore Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 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 :/
bunception Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 just got into SVA Social Documentary ! let me know if anyone else is plannining on attending Aubreylmoore 1
