    Denied (w/o Interview) USC SCA MFA Directing/Film Production Application - Fall 2024

    App process went well, I definitely scurried to get things done. Thinking retrospectively, I definitely would have taken more time to work on a more cohesive visual sample for the program. I think my essays were very strong and I had a decent portfolio and established body of work, but my...

    Waitlisted (After Interview) USC/SCA Film & Television Production MFA

    I completed my undergrad in 2020, so the very first thing I did was reach out to former professors (MONTHS in advance) and beg for a letter of recommendation. And it took me about 3-4 weeks to write my personal statement. I had rewritten it about 6 times before I was satisfied with it. I have...

    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).

    Denied (After Interview) USC

    It was my first time applying. I tried to ask which part of my application were lacking but I understand USC's staff is very busy. In my opinion, I was too "cautious" in my interview and personal statement, by trying to meet "cinephile" expectations about what inspires me. But it's a delicate...

    Denied (w/o Interview) My first time applying to USC - Peter Stark Producing Program

    For the the application process was demanding though I did and uploaded everything required. I think the reason why I was rejected is that I was not personal and specific enough.

    USC Film Production BFA 2024

    The vast majority of information on these threads seems to be around MFA programs. I think that can be a little confusing to those of us who have applied to BFA programs. I have applied to the BFA program at USC SCA and received an interview last week. The interview went well. It seems that the...

    Applied USC-SCA-Transfer-Fall 2024

    I submitted a 5 min short film that I wrote/directed. Solid letters of recommendation from industry professionals. The process took a long time for me because of the multiple essays and writing samples. SCA is one of those things where I feel like no matter your GPA it comes down to if you fit...

    Interview Scheduled USC - Film & Television Production MFA

    As one of the filmmakers who want to become a cinematographer, writing sample was so difficult. Fortunately, I wrote down some concepts for my films on my iPhone, so there were no big obstacles to starting it. I hope they admit me!

    Interviewed USC School of Cinematic Arts Film & Television

    The whole process was really straight forward, I had an interview with Peter Sollet, the whole interview process was more like a casual conversation. He mainly just wanted to know about my project idea, and what sort of films I liked, didn’t ask much about anything else. now just waiting for the...

    Denied (w/o Interview) USC MFA Writing for Film and TV Fall 2024

    The entire application was a little stressful at times and took a while to complete, which is why I started working on my materials a few months before I submitted the application. My biggest challenge with the application was making all of my materials align so that they’d tell one complete...

    Waitlisted (After Interview) USC Peter Stark MFA in Production - 2024

    So far so good! It basically took me a year to get all my essays polished with dozens of rewrites. Managed to get everything good about a week before the due date so had a little room for error. My references cut it close, but after a little nudging they also got their references in on time as...

    Applied USC Screen writing B.A.

    For me personally it was pretty stressful and not for any external factors, mostly because I didn't properly comprehend the portfolio instructions. Basically I did the regular little application on common app and then ofc I was on my way to do the portfolio but from my understanding I was only...
