    Reapplication to USC Film Production for Spring 2012

    I also got the same re-application letter. It said on Oct 28th we'll be emailed with instructions... Not sure if there's a point. There's a lot more submissions for the fall term, and if it didn't work last time probably best to submit a new application

    AFI Application Advice

    I'm applying to AFI for Directing, and wanted to ask if anyone can give me some advice on what they want/looking for/any helpful information. I really know little about what the school is looking for in applicants. I've read a lot on these forums about the usual USC/NYU/UCLA, etc. but recently...

    Fall 2012 Applicants

    I'm also going to apply for the Fall '12 year. For the usual culprits; USC,NYU,Columbia,AFI... Not sure how spread out I should go, each additional application I feel adds a lot of more work and consumes more time... So debating to do more or not. I have a business undergrad. Interesting in...

    Average Age for Grad School Students

    I've been curious about visiting the school and if it has an impact on admissions. And I guess you guys are right in that getting to know them really helps. But for me, I live in Toronto and its tough for me to make it down for the LA the info sessions. How else can I gain exposure? Is there...

    Great post emperor_gort. Completely off topic but an FYI, in a message box like the reply one on this site, use 2 fingers to scroll through it lol. Just in case next time you need to write a long message on your iphone

    Reapplication to USC Film Production for Spring 2012

    Its recommended to submit new stuff, but doing so you're not participating in this "reapplication" offer they give out. Which we're not sure if theres a difference or it really matters in the end...

    Reapplication to USC Film Production for Spring 2012

    Hey Jayimess, I'm a bit confused by what you mean. Are you saying that we have nothing to lose to submit a new application? or nothing to lose to resubmit the same one?? I really want to re-apply for the spring 2012 class (because I want to start sooner than later, and as you pointed out the...

    Reapplication to USC Film Production for Spring 2012

    Sorry to hear you didn't get the same message. I got it through email so check your spam or other inboxes to make sure. But if you're right and they did only send this offer to some of applicants than this is somewhat good news for reapplying. I'm still not sure if I should resubmit or submit a...

    Reapplication to USC Film Production for Spring 2012

    I just got the email and was about to post almost the same thread, so glad someone else is on it too. I'm wondering the same questions myself. My assumption would be that there are less applicants for the spring classes in general, therefore increasing your odds. But at the same time I was...

    AFI 2011

    I'm thinking of applying to AFI this coming year and was wondering if anyone could tell me the major differences or advantages (if any) AFI has over the usual culprits, NYU/USC/UCLA/Columbia. I just recently "discovered" it (I sorta knew of the program but read a good post on it the other...

    USC Film Production for Fall 2011

    Hey, also a recent reject this year. I'm wondering if anyone that got accepted are willing to share their personal statement/application with me? I want to apply one more time for the Spring 2012 term and after being rejected twice for the masters program I'd really appreciate any help I can...

    USC Film Production for Fall 2011

    Got my rejection email today. This is my 2nd rejection from masters program in a row. Not too phased but I definitely want to give it at least one more shot for the spring 2012 term and apply for the Sept 1 deadline. Is there anyone that is willing to give me some personal advice or share their...

    USC Film Production for Fall 2011

    I see... Just those extra words add a lot of value for my application. Having trouble shaving them off. Cause I lose either style, or description of myself... Well I'll be refining it all day

    USC Film Production for Fall 2011

    How important is it to be inside the 1000 word limit? If I'm like 100 words over do I instantly get disqualified or something??
