    Denied (w/o Interview) MFA in Film and TV Production

    I rushed through the USC application. I didn’t put much effort into it. Perhaps its the reason I haven’t t heard back from them till now. I was denied but I’m glad I heard about it. Unlike rest, were holding me there. Usc asked about awards, conferences etc. which I think is the toughest...

    USC Film & TV Production or Chapman Film Production?

    I was accepted to both programs for B.F.A. Chapman gave me a half ride and USC gave me no money.
