Turned in my application and then didn’t hear back until the form notification date. I was rejected without an interview. It was a pretty time-intensive one, though I wish they’d have had us do a short film instead of a video self-portrait, since I always find those a little vague and awkward.
Just got the decision email! I was rejected (which is fine with me, since I got into USC), but sending a huge congrats to everyone who got in!
See you all in the industry sooner or later!
Hey, everyone! I went ahead and made a private thread for admitted applicants:
