USC MFA Film and Television Production Fall 2018

[TreeYoung]

Congrats!! Where did they post it for you and when did you receive I.T??

I got an email telling me to check the portal... I think acceptances will be coming out these next two weeks for everyone.

Congrats!!!

Btw it seems another applicant was waitlisted yesterday based on the spreadsheet, and I am wondering whether there are other people who receive the news???

The pattern in previous years is that they sent out all acceptances first, then waitlists, and rejections in the end. Does the school change the strategy this year lol?

Would you mind putting a link to the spreadsheet in here so I can access it? Not quite sure how to.

Hi, I went through the spreadsheet again today, and I found out that the person who was waitlisted for this term was actually an applicant for the spring, and he was accepted for the spring semester.

I think the spreadsheet is messed up a little bit lol

so there is only one acceptance for people at this site?

Anyone knows how many letters whave been sent ?

I think they only have sent a small batch of acceptances, and there is only one acceptance at this forum ( which is pretty similar to the situation of screenwriting right now)

 

[Joy]

Hoping to hear more good news from you guys!

I got the same email to check my decision status too. But it doesn't start with "Congratulations" so I got nervous a little bit.

The letter starts with:
We are pleased to inform you that you are academically eligible for admission to the Fall 2018 semester as a graduate student majoring in Cinematic Arts, Film and Television Production leading to a Master of Fine Arts.

To receive your official offer of admission, you must first demonstrate proof of the ability to pay tuition and living expenses for yourself and, if applicable, your spouse and/or any children intending to travel with you to USC for the duration of your coursework.

Does that mean I once I submit all financial documents, I will be officially admitted??

The most strange thing is, my short film was never reviewed by USC slideroom.....

I received the same email today. I'm guessing "Academically eligible" means that the student is accepted but he/she has to show financial proof (roughly upto $63-64k) including tuition and living expenses for first year in order to receive the final offer letter and statement of intent to enroll. Once we review the offer letter and complete statement of enroll form, that's when our admission is secured. Correct me if I'm wrong though

That is odd re: your short film not being viewed, but I think if you provided a Vimeo link there's a way for them to watch it outside of Slideroom?

Also, just curious: did you do an interview? I think I see an admittee on the spreadsheet who got in without having received an interview... it was never clear to me whether USC admits anyone who didn't get an interview

 

[Joy]

Congrats Joy, so happy for you! Were you admitted with an interview or without one?

Thank you! I was admitted after an interview.

 

[Frankie Bones]

congrats to Joy and Shuyao, and everyone else who got in to USC!
