    USC SCA Spring 2026

    If anyone gets accepted and plans on going, shoot me a DM. There’s an IG group chat with all of the Fall waitlist people who didn’t get off the waitlist for Fall but have been accepted for Spring and have already paid their deposit/will be attending USC in Spring 2026. Would love to connect...

    USC MFA Fall 2025 Waitlisted Applicants (any discipline)

    Someone from the group chat just got off of the waitlist yesterday fwiw, so it seems like there is finally some movement of some kind.

    Congrats to you with the waitlist as well! Yeah, I have been seeing that. Hopefully the other schools follow suit. We’ve got this

    I’m glad it’s alive! Ugh that’s rough — yeah, for whatever reason it only applies to the Production discipline, so very stoked about that but we have a lot of people who are international or out of state who are like “uhhh…so, like, when am I starting?”

    No need to apologize, I appreciate the extra perspective! You’re more than welcome to post in this thread. I hadn’t thought of that, but I bet you’re absolutely right. When do they have to notify you of movement by? Do you get a guaranteed spring admission as well if you aren’t bumped to the...

    Thats wild. I imagine someone on here would have heard SOMETHING. We have an IG waitlist group chat for production with 20 people and none of us have heard jack.

    Any USC people hear anything from any of the disciplines? It seems like it’s been reaaaaally quiet for us waitlisted folks across the board

    USC MFA Fall 2025 Waitlisted Applicants (any discipline)

    I know of a few people who declined their acceptance offer, so there are at least 3-4 open spots for them to pull form the waitlist for USC. Our cohort is 60, seems like they can expect 6-12 to decline each year due to financial reasons or other schools that may feel like a better fit for them

    USC MFA Fall 2025 Waitlisted Applicants (any discipline)

    That I’m not sure of, I just know that it’s USC’s! It’s insane how none of the programs have potentially said anything to anyone yet, idk about NYU but USC’s deadline to let them know if you were accepting or declining your admissions offers was 4/15. You’d think 6 weeks is enough time to decide...
