Be sure to log your application with our database when you can. Also tell your friend to join.

Good luck!

So here is what I think might be going on and why some of us are still waiting. I personally think I am an extremely good candidate for acceptance and since we know that letters are going out since last week my guess is myself and everyone else that has not received anything yet are in line for scholarships and got in. Reason being is that they have to make decisions on all the applicants before they send things out for scholarships or they would have to send multiple things of applications to the scholarship people. Which doesnt happen. They send all the stuff at once. So hopefully that means we that are waiting are getting in.

That's what I'm hoping for too. They needed a few things for my financial aid information and I'm hoping that's all part of it.

The professor who interviewed me said that we would hear in 4-6 weeks,. I interviewed on September 25, so the earliest possibility will be at the end of the month

I don't even have "decision status" on mine. And I registered using the e-mail address I provided them.

Wouldn't this require people actively saying they were rejected?

hey don't go bringing realistic logic into this conversation hahaha.

 

[BalaBenBa]

ok I think they have to give us some news in this week. Personally I would say that they have already sent out all the acceptance letters, but some of us should at least get waitlisted now. It's been a week!

I don't want to freak you out but is it possible they are uploading your letter hence the missing feature? Haha

I agree. I definitely feel like a strong applicant and the selection committee member who interviewed me said that I had one of the stronger applications she’s seen for the cycle. I think I would have at least gotten a “rejected” status by now.

I know somebody has applied to USC several times, and I can guarantee you that the selection criteria of USC's production program are not entirely based on how excellent you are — it's more of a test of LUCK. I really mean it. So if you're not admitted in the end, it doesn't mean that you don't have enough talent or ability. It's just that maybe you're meant to be admitted by other fantastic filmschools or something like that. For instance, my classmates was denied by USC but admitted by NYU, and the same thing happened to another friend who was admitted by AFI. And personally I think these two filmschools are better than USC's production program. (yep I want to be honest with u — for me, usc cinematic arts is absolutely great, but the film production program in the cinematic arts... I don't know. But it's just my thought haha.)
