AFI 2019 Screenwriting

Got my waitlist letter. Not the result I was 100% hoping for but at least it’s something. Felt really great about my interview but I’m sure they went back and reviewed every application to make final decisions and I know where I went wrong with one of my submission pieces so at least there’s that!
 
Umm, okay, I feel so bad about my flippant response initially, because I just read my admission letter and, umm, I think they offered me essentially a full-ride scholarship? Holy fucking hell. This..is a development. Kind of in shock, and indecision, as this changes so much of what I wanted to do. USC is my #1 choice. Always has been. But the money AFI is offering me is absolute insanity. I would be a dumbass not to take it, right? Even after years and years pining after USC, and finally getting in?

Ha ha ha ha, my life is so fucking ridiculous.

Have you heard back from usc? Also is it full tuition or like the complete cost of attendance? I say it’s definitely something major to consider

Definitely a lot to consider. I'd also check with USC if that's your dream school. It's worth seeing what they have to say, but def a good problem to have :)
 
Solely for people searching next year - (only doing this now cause I know I won't remember later)
Got my decision letter via email at 9:33 AM, PST via email. My AFI Empower account still doesn't reflect anything. Deposit of $1000. is due April 15 and in theory financial aid should be visible sometime next week.

Dude. Full ride scholarship. That's amazing! That's a once in a lifetime opportunity right there.
