    Admitted USC Film Production Student Thread

    I'm sorta thinking downtown or Westlake. Anybody who knows LA have any guidance? I don't want to drive for more than twenty minutes, and price isn't too much of an issue - after living in New York, LA will seem crazy cheap. My first instinct is downtown, but I hear mixed things about the area.

    Anybody know anything about the nearby neighborhoods? Good places to live and so on?

    USC Film Production for Fall 2011

    I got that too. I'm pretty sure they're just referring to the forms that were in the first packet. Nothing to worry about. Mine was 1,500. The word count doesn't actually matter that much I don't think. It'd be silly if it did. I think they just don't want you to send something insanely long...

    CalArts Fall 2011 Thread

    I got my acceptance letter a few weeks ago, but I also got into USC so that's a tough choice. What do you guys think of CalArts?

    USC Film Production for Fall 2011

    oh yeah, in terms of television: Battlestar Galactica Veronica Mars Louie Firefly, Buffy, Angel etc. (Buffy and Angel can be very hit-or-miss, but at their best they're really outstanding) Freaks and Geeks probably some others I can't remember. Early seasons of the American Office are pretty...

    USC Film Production for Fall 2011

    Anybody know what neighborhoods are good for apartment-hunting? I don't know much about the area around USC, other than that it's supposedly not very nice. I don't mind that, though. I really just don't even know what the neighborhood around there is called.

    USC Film Production for Fall 2011

    I called the department, and they said my acceptance letter should have been e-mailed to me like five days ago, but for some reason it didn't go through. I just got it now. Anybody else attending the accepted students banquet?

    USC Film Production for Fall 2011

    I had a phone interview on the 7th. I didn't receive any phone or e-mail news of my decision, though, just the packet, which matches what other people have described.

    USC Film Production for Fall 2011

    Just got my packet today. I got into CalArts too, so I'll head out to Los Angeles to check out both campuses, but I'd say it's at least a 90% chance that I'll be seeing all of you in University Park. Thanks everyone for the support, and good luck to those who haven't heard.

    I'm in the East Village. Small world. Did you apply to USC film too?

    USC Film Production for Fall 2011

    I'm both further east and in a large metro area - I live in lower Manhattan. So that's what I'm hoping too. The fact that it's a Sunday and there's no mail is really driving me crazy. Congratulations again on your acceptance though.

    USC Film Production for Fall 2011

    This is making me really nervous. I haven't received anything, e-mail or otherwise. I hope the website thing wasn't just a fluke.

    USC Film Production for Fall 2011

    @Aglick: The best art is personal, I think, or at least mine is, so I take care to make sure that it remains personal. I'll share my stuff appropriately - in my applications, in classes, with friends or colleagues, or at public showings. But the minute you over-share, it becomes less about what...

    USC Film Production for Fall 2011

    I'd rather not post my own stuff - I don't believe in the over-sharing of personal work. As far as what I wrote, etc., I didn't look at anybody else's application, and I think it's probably not a good idea for you to, either. Don't model your own essays after somebody else's, because that's...
