FINAL UPDATE: Well, this turned into some wacky ass shit, huh?
After three years of applying and putting like all my future into USC, I finally got in...and now I'm going to be left turning them down, as AFI (the only other school I applied for) offered me essentially full tuition to attend their program.

ONCE AND FUTURE UPDATE: I have paid down my deposit for AFI, which I guess marks an end of the three year long "application" phase of the graduate school process for me. The hardest part, of course. Right?
...Right?

First time applying to AFI or any graduate program. My interview seems to have been late in the process based on other members of this site. I tracked the views on the videos I submitted, and it looks like they watched them on 01/22 once, and then not again until the day of my interview.
