Not sure if that’s how it works. Do they offer spots for waitlisted people in the following semester? Didn’t know that

Feels like a lot of us got waitlisted. I feel like the Spring class size is a lot smaller because you have all the people from the fall application who got waitlisted pretty much take up a bunch of those slots for the spring.

Bummer! Good luck applying in the Fall. Don't let it get you down. Having to reapply is quite normal.

Please be sure to add your Spring application to our database so we can improve our statistics. It'll be a great help to others!

Application Database

I just received an email saying that the admission office would waive part of my application fee (about 90 dollars) if I decide to apply Fall 2023 production program. Did anyone receive that too?

No they don't do that for waitlisted applicants of spring semester. But you still got a chance to be admitted!

Not for spring semester, so they do that for the fall semester waitlist?

yes, those fall semester waitlisted applicants will be guaranteed a spot in the spring semester.

 

[Lianru]

I didn't know that at all! Now I have to apply to the fall as well!

I received it yesterday. Mine said that they will waive all my application fee, but they also mentioned that the admission committee is continuing to review applications for Spring 2023, which is weird since I thought all the decisions have been released yet.

Just received word today that I was admitted after being waitlisted. Only thing is, classes start Monday and I live on the other side of the country While I am happy it’s hardly unlikely I will be able to attend this semester.

Yeah I got admitted yesterday but still waiting to register class and stuff since it’s very late notice. But I will be attending this Friday’s orientation if I can find out the details on time

Congratulations! Yeah I didn’t even know about the orientation. I knew it existed and I was told that waitlisted applicants were able to go to so I was expecting to hear something about it a few weeks ago. Very last minute.

Thanks I didn’t get any info so i had to call different offices for that. But I’m still thinking if I should do the interview for AFI AND NYU in March

I’m 100 percent doing this lol I applied to both as well. Even if I was at USC I would interview for both. AFI is my number 1 school

FYI I reorganized the application categories in the database to remove the unnecessary Graduate and Undergraduate cateogries... BUT the most useful change is that you can now sort applications in our acceptance statistics by Application Year. This makes it much easier to see the USC Spring notification dates.

We're interviewing USC again. Do you have any questions for them? Post them in thread linked below.

What questions do you have for University of Southern California admissions department?

I'm excited to announce I will holding a follow-up admissions department interview with USC SCA next month! Take a look at the first interview here: I'm open to questions from undergraduate and graduate students about the application process, campus culture and student life (clubs, etc.)...
