I will be as candid about my experiences as possible. Things I wish I knew when I was applying because, at least for me, it would have greatly influenced my decisions. Anything I say here is true to my experience at SCA. Others may or may not agree:Hi! Thank you for starting a thread! I'm a rising senior at UCLA, interested in going to USC for MFA Film/Television program. I guess I'll start off w basic questions...
1. what's the school like now, based on your experience?
2. Are grad students able to get priority for equipment?
3. Just a curiosity, but are you able to share more on the cinematography track (if you can).
4. Lastly, any advice on grad applications? haha
I would say there really isn't a right or wrong personal statement. I would highly recommend staying true to who you are and hope that it comes across to the faculty who ends up reading it. What they often look for is diverse opinions in each cohort. They will rarely ever have a cohort where every student is already an accomplished filmmaker and they will rarely ever have a cohort where no one has ever made a feature film before.There's any advice and suggestions for the Personal Statement? Like, how a good personal statement for USC look like? I always get an internal debate between going for a more personal focus or a more the future me focus. What do you think is the focus they're looking for?
