USC MFA - Film and Television Production - Fall 2025

Hey, guys. I’m an international student. I’m in wait-list.

How were you notified? Through an email?

 

[pmj]

Since international comes out a day or two before domestic, does that mean domestic applicants should expect to hear back over the weekend?

Seems like it. That has happened in the past, they have sent out notifications on Saturdays and Sundays...fingers crossed, everyone.

I haven't gotten anything yet, but I'm guessing this time around they lead with Waitlists because I think it's unlikely no one in this thread got an acceptance email or hasn't said anything about getting accepted yet (or maybe I'm just trying to be optimistic haha)

[GGbryant]

Same question

 

[Estter]

It’s really weird, this is being handled differently than literally every single year prior to this one…so I don’t think anyone knows

Yeah it does seem different.

[Estter]

i wonder how many waitlist did they send

 

[antlady]

Why do they send waitlist first, that really makes me more nervous, cuz now you’d whether be admitted or rejected
