2015 USC MFA Screenwriting Accept Reject Waitlist

[Travis Leake]

i ***think*** this means i got in? but i'm still not sure and still anxious that it's just a fluke in the system! so still waiting for the real letter to arrive.

Well perhaps I'm screwed because it won't let me log in.... very distressing.

 

[Travis Leake]

It definitely means you're accepted. Still locked out on my end.

Doesn't bode very well for me. Congrats to you guys.

I feel your pain.

 

[Point Break]

Well everyone, it's official...

I received an acceptance email decision this morning (for some reason at 1:37 AM PST on a Sunday) and now I can't go back to sleep!!!! I'm guessing this board's about to light up like Christmas tree!

I was beginning to lose hope since I hadn't received any notice from any of the other programs I applied to. So, I know how tough the wait is. Hopefully, more good news is on its way!!!!

It's official! I received my acceptance decision this morning! The email was sent at around 4:30 EST. I'm so excited!!!!!

Congrats to you, too, Point Break!

Thanks! And congratulations to you too!!!!

I got the good news at 4:30am EST as well! Congrats to everyone who got in!

 

[Travis Leake]

Grats to those who were accepted last night.

 

[JSM]

Welp, I guess I was wrong. Congrats to those who received acceptances!

I guess the next question is, has anyone received firm rejection letters?

Another lurker here popping out of her hidey-hole. My name's Audrey, and I was accepted last Sunday!

I submitted after the priority deadline, and received the notice via E-mail/USConnect.

A bit about me: I've lived most of my life in Los Angeles, graduated from NYU with a degree in literature in 2012, and I currently assist a producer.

I've spent most of my life writing, though primarily prose -- short stories, novels, etc. In fact, I submitted a short story for my writing sample instead of a screenplay, and was worried they'd look at that unfavorably... so anyone who sees this next year, don't worry about what you submit!

I've taken to screenwriting since college, specifically writing for the hour drama format. Currently working on two pilots, and just finished a Blacklist spec this winter. I'm also interested in video game writing too (so excited for Uncharted 4!).

If anyone has questions about LA, I'd be happy to answer them. In fact, if anyone's visiting, we should all meet up and get acquainted!

Waiting eagerly for my rejection letter so I can begin the ritual purging...

Question for all the USC admits so far: where are you located?

Has anyone received their rejection or acceptance letter (without receiving an email) ?

^ Nope, but if it makes you feel better, I haven't heard anything at all from USC yet. Nothing.
I take it as a rejection at this point. >.<

I received my rejection letter a couple of days ago without any email. Still haven't received one, actually. Weird.

Doh. Well it looks like you're going to UCLA then?

100%. I had already submitted my intent to enroll to UCLA before I got the official rejection from USC.

 

[ErikaRasso]

Got my official rejection in the mail today, no email to accompany it. I'm not too hung up about it! I'm just going to keep working at it and apply again!
