    USC MFA Fall 2016 Applicants

    @Point Break how many people from your cohort went last year? Will all the professors be there, or just a few?

    USC MFA Fall 2016 Applicants

    @Paul J. I received my package in the mail last week! It unfortunately seems I wasn't awarded any sort of fellowship or scholarship - but that doesn't surprise me, considering how few scholarships there are for incoming graduate students. Financial aid notifications are sent later (I believe...

    @Solomon_E what was the genre? Just curious. You've alluded to it a few times - though you shouldn't feel the need to share if you'd rather not!

    @Timothy Marc Hopper I finally did yesterday. @Matt Ramphele that's awesome! Did the notification come with the physical package? How did you find out?

    The latter. :rolleyes: I figured I'll make it work, though I'm of course still anxiously awaiting financial aid and scholarship information.

    USC MFA Screenwriting Fall 2016

    It might be different for the screenwriting program, but the deposit was through SCA rather than graduate admissions. I received one email from grad admissions that was very general with the Intent to Enroll link, and then another more specified from SCA with a link to accept and submit deposit.

    USC MFA Screenwriting Fall 2016

    I believe it's just so the graduate school admissions people can have an indication of who's intending to enroll in the fall. I already submitted it and it leads to the creation of your USC graduate school log-in and email, I think!

    USC MFA Screenwriting Fall 2016

    Received the email from the School of Cinematic Arts directly yesterday, but couldn't find it until this morning. For some reason it was filed away under the "Promotions" tab on my gmail. It contains a link similar to the "Intent to Enroll" from the general grad admissions office, but specific...

    2016 Interviews- Acceptances- Rejections

    Seems USC is rolling out decision letters in force today. Posted this in another thread, but I heard back this morning that I was accepted to the Writing for Screen & Television MFA. Feels good!

    USC MFA Screenwriting Fall 2016

    USC has been pretty weird this year with notifications, they could be sending out letters slowly. I guess we'll know as more people check their emails today.

    USC MFA Screenwriting Fall 2016

    Check your emails! I just received my decision notification! ACCEPTED! Over the last few weeks, I've re-read my application so many times that I thought for sure there was no way I would get in. Woke up to the most pleasant and shocking of surprises. Best of luck to everyone!

    USC MFA Screenwriting Fall 2016

    I actually still believe some people will hear this weekend. Last year, all applicants heard by mid-March so it makes sense that that's the date they give out. Accepted applicants seem to hear earlier, then mid-March is when rejections and WL decisions go out (presumably, after accepted...

    UCLA Professional Screenwriting Program

    Thanks @TheArsenal1886! Slightly off topic to this thread, but how has the UCLA MFA program been for you thus far? Do you get the sense that they've developed a strong professional pipeline? Apologies if you've answered this elsewhere, I can go searching if so!

    UCLA Professional Screenwriting Program

    How many students are in the professional program, and what is the acceptance rate like? Just a bit confused about what it would actually look like (i.e., many students in the program split into smaller classes, or just a few small classes in total).

    USC MFA Screenwriting Fall 2016

    Seems we'll be hearing back soon! Those who were accepted last year were notified during the last weekend of February, but it was also a 4-week month. If their timeframe is based on number of days since app submission, we would hear back this weekend. If it's "notify last weekend of February,"...

    USC MFA Screenwriting Fall 2016

    @lady-vengeance I know what you mean. I'm mostly stressing about one of my challenges that I ended up rewriting last minute. I wanted to inject comedy into my application because everything else seemed so heavy, but I've admittedly never written much comedy... so I hope it came across as it was...

    USC MFA Screenwriting Fall 2016

    Also received that email, @nervouslurker How does everyone feel about the creative challenge scenes they submitted? I've re-read mine so many times I've started to think they're horrible (but that's probably just a product of me overanalyzing).
