    Attending (Admitted After Interview) University of Southern California - Fall 2025 Entry

    I found the application itself for this program kind of tough! They ask 10 short-answer questions with strict character limits. I'm a naturally talkative person and found that I really struggled to provide comprehensive answers in the amount of characters provided. Most of my time spent on this...

    Interviewed USC Peter Stark Producing Program MFA

    Applied USC MFA Peter Stark Producing Program

    I'm pretty verbose by nature, so the character limits were tough. Other than that, I found the application pretty straightforward. I applied to more than one program, and they do ask you to rank them in order of preference.

    Denied (w/o Interview) USC Peter Stark Producing Program - Fall 2023

    In general, it's pretty ok. If you planned, you can do it all! don't worry. But for my, speaking as someone with anxiety, it's being pretty stressful. I worry if what I did is not good enough and I spend the whole day checking my email to see if I get a interview.
