Congratulations! I'm really happy for you! Do you know if everybody who got in get the email at the same time/day or if it varies a bit? Also, do you know so many people are accepted and waitlisted?

I'm asking because I also applied, but didn't get anything yet, so my hopes are kind of dying...

Thank you! If you’re international, acceptance emails went out on Saturday around 12:47 a.m. PST. I know domestic students tend to get theirs a day or two later, but according to the USC forum thread, none of the domestic students have received theirs yet. I did just get an email today around 2 p.m. PST officially welcoming me to the School of Cinematic Arts, so my guess is that they have finished sending out acceptance emails at least to international students for now. But I don’t know for sure and I have no idea how many are waitlisted.

All the best, and I hope the long wait ends with good news for you!

Hey, don't give up hope yet! Others in the USC thread have called admissions and confirmed that acceptance letters are still being sent out until mid-March. Good luck!

Hi, I just emailed the admissions department yesterday and this was their response! If you applied but haven't received a scholarship letter yet, don't panic as it looks like they haven't sent them out yet.

Congrats!! I'm applying for 2024. I read your A & B scenes and love them, it also reassures me I'm on the right track with my own! Both scenes were really touching, thanks for sharing :)

Hi! I applied to USC and I'm having some doubts about the financial documentation. Did they ask you to send any before they make a decision?
