I applied to AFI for fall of 04 and was not accepted and will be applying again for fall of 06.
I had a chance to visit the school a couple of weeks ago and sit in on one of Steven Lighthill's 2nd year classes as well as a first year editing class and it made me realize that AFI is the perfect place for me. I was also able to meet with Jayson briefly though the class was already started by the time I arrived so I unfortunately did not get a chance to speak with him at any length. But thanks Jayson for the hospitality.
The convservatory nature of the school is part of what appeals to me so much. The hands on nature of it all seems to really prepare you for the rigours and the joys of being a working DP.
I am spending a lot more time on my application for fall of 06 and I realize that i was probably not ready to attend a year ago. Hopefully I will have better results this time and the very best of luck to those of you who are going through the interview process right now.
Big congrats to everyone who got accepted this year. I am going to be applying for fall of 06 and hopefully I will be as fortunate. Good luck to everyone.
