    Admitted (w/o Interview) Accepted to DePaul Film and Television BFA !!

    During the application process, I was confused because they didn't require you to submit a portfolio. I submitted one anyway, and I still sent anything optional in any way.

    Denied (After Interview) USC BFA cinematic arts (film production) reject

    It was my top choice. I was interviewed but then rejected. It was a stretch for me because I have a lot of Bs on my transcript (although they were almost all in AP classes, so my weighted GPA was still 3.9).

    Very similar to most applications. I was able to use the same visual sample that I used for the USC Application. It is great that they send decision notifications so early. No anxiety with this one.
