Congratulations!!! You are from China too!
Were you interviewed? Or just got accepted without interview?
Anyway keep waiting for the decision...

Thanks! I had my interview on Jan. 31, although the Professor stressed that it wasn't an interview......
Anyway, best luck to you!

Hi everyone, first time posting as well~
I got accepted to USC, surprisingly. I found the decision on youSC yesterday which the date said Feb.25, and the email only came in a few hours ago. So who knows how it works lol.

Hang in there guys, and maybe the good news will come real soon!!!

Well done @veratin ! Super exciting!

Same on my end, no worries.

I am wondering whether they're updating our decisions now lol

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting on the blog-
My understanding is that they generally notify those who are accepted first, and then those who are wait listed; so unless someone has reported being wait listed, there is still a chance of that. Congratulations to everyone who got in! My friend in the program was told that the incoming class is very international and includes many Asian filmmakers, so this class will be very fun and diverse. Best wishes to all of you! Also I haven't gotten in, but intend to reapply if I don't make the cut; I'm very excited to have found this community!

Hey all,

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone on this portal. I think it is such a beautiful community, example of solidarity, and I am incredibly heartened by the words of encouragement throughout these pages.

If it didn't shake out for you this year, but you are thinking about reapplying next year, I would love to be a resource. I'm considering writing something longer, if you think it would be helpful, about my approach to the application and tips to consider.

Don't be discouraged if this year was not your year, it is not a reflection of you as a person, nor is it an indictment of your potential. This process is subjective and the best thing you can do is take some time to process and then get back up and make the most out of what is in front of you.

I applied to 11 undergraduate schools and got denied from 10. Rejection sucks. But I know for a fact that I wouldn't be where I am today if I had gotten what I wanted back then.

All the best to those still waiting to hear back.

Thanks Meryam,

I just discovered this community and I think its great. If I don't make the cut I'll be reapplying next year and would greatly welcome your input!

I'm new here, too. Former lurker. Welcome! I'll be reapplying until I get in, that's for sure.

Am I correct in believing that USC does not waitlist but rather has "spring admission"? Under Spring Admission, is a spot guaranteed?

Thanks everyone.

@yeahyeah

Yes I believe you are correct. From what I understand all those "wait listed" are guaranteed Spring admission. I believe that those notifications go out later than Fall admissions; this is just based on what my peer in the program told me.

Moonlight taught us that it's not over till it's over!

Maybe they're updating the sums. Making them harder. So we can't log in so easily. Scientific equations next.
