USC MFA Film and Television Production Fall 2018

[Septopus7]

my rejection letter contained an encouragement to continue to work on my portfolio and to reapply in a future semester -- is that standard language included in all of them (i..e, them just being nice) or is there some significance to that?

Not to take away from the important message there but, yeah, it's standard in all of them. Been rejected twice, and both letters were identical -- including the paragraphs about working on building up your portfolio, applying again, etc.

haha, figured as much -- thanks Septopus7

Standard.

When did you hear? I haven't yet heard so I'm assuming I've been denied.

I found out a couple weeks ago.

Is anyone going to the accepted students day on April 6? I’m wondering if it’s worth the cost of a plane ticket...

Yes I'm wondering the same thing...

 

[Avec Love]

Has anybody started a facebook group for the incoming class yet?

If not I'd be happy to set one up. If you DM me your name I can add you to the group.

I'll be going! After I received my notification, the professor that I interviewed with gave me a call, and he HIGHLY recommends accepted students to attend. They basically consider that day the starting point for the program.

@Juju @kvfranklin I'm going as well. The professor that interviewed me also reached out and told me I should go.

Does anyone know when is the date that if we don't hear if we're admitted to Fall by this date, we will have to go in Spring? (For those on the waitlist)

 

[Jonda]

Hey are any waitlisted students going to admitted students day?

 

[Jonda]

It’s August 17

Thanks. Wow isn't the first day of class Aug 20th?

Yes I believe it’s around that time, not sure of the exact date.

This forum gives me chills... I'm in my senior year of high school but I'm planning on applying to this very program in 4 years time. I can't wait to be apart of this. I'm wondering how many projects were typically listed on the creative portfolio portion of the application?

 

[Chris W]

FYI I created a new Social Group feature so you can now create your own PRIVATE forum and group for accepted and attending students (similar to a Facebook Group) right here on FilmSchool.org.

Hope you enjoy it!

I think your position in a specific project or how much you got involved in it is much more important than the sheer number of projects. Say if you're interested in being a cinematographer, I don't think listing 20+ editing experience would be helpful. I listed only 10 (out of my 20+ projects), those I believe really reflect my interest, and got accepted to my top-choice schools.

Hi! My son was waitlisted for fall. For those of you who also were, when will usc send information for spring admit. We emailed and response said admission was “contingent upon hearing from graduate admissions “. This was unsettling.

 

[Dotsie]

Hi all! Just got an email about two hours ago notifying that I have been waitlisted but will be offered admission in Spring 2019...haven't done enough research to know whether I should feel happy for being granted admission at a later date or melancholy as being sidelined as second tier... Does anyone have any knowledge about USC's Fall/Spring rotation?

Have you heard anything yet about spring?
