Hey all,

I know it's probably the time when everyone hears about acceptances and rejections. This is more for those who received rejections. Keep your heads up. I had to try two times before I got in.

Here's a blog I wrote while I reapplied to all the film schools a second time:

I reread it today, and it reminded me of how challenging and rewarding the process was. The dream story still gives me the chills.

Hi JKL-
Have you/ are you taking on a lot of debt to attend USC? Are there ways for students to get out of there with a minimal amount of debt? Scholarships? Fellowships? T.A. ing? What are you finding is the typical way that students are handling the price tag of USC? Thanks!
