USC Cinematic Arts Program

[Prime(Tim)e]

A few people have asked. I put in my application a day before the deadline but I sent in my transcript and other material weeks before.

I just called the office and was given the "your application is out to committee" line as well. I asked the woman who answered if all of the acceptances have been sent out, so "out to committee" means wait listed or denied. She said no, some acceptances just haven't gone out yet. She sounded sincere. ugh.

I just called the admissions office at SCA: she just told me that they are working on finalizing admissions decisions and that I should know by mid-March. I hadn't given her my name so I guess that goes for all of us.

 

[znote80]

Btw...has anyone who hasn't received any notice get a receipt for the SCA scholarship last week? I just found it in my spam folder. I don't know if it holds any significance.

 

[scullymulder1234]

I've gotten the receipt. One of the financial emails gave me a USCID but that doesn't work on the camel site. Are they the same?

I also emailed USC about their acceptance times, they told me they'd start at the beginning of March.

 

[znote80]

Yeah, should be the same number. Your email response has been proven false considering that several people on this forum have been accepted already. I can't imagine why the scholarship committee would review all scholarship apps and not wait until they know who's been accepted. If they did I'd imagine they would start reviewing before last Wednesday. But this is America: the land of inefficiency.

accepted, received email this morning, but it's from SCA, it says to wait until 28th for the graduate office

I wouldn't start worrying until mid March. I didn't interview until 19 Feb while others interviewed as early as late Jan. I imagine they're handling a few a day and sending them out as they go. The prof who interviewed me said I wouldn't hear anything until mid March, possibly early April.

Yes, it is obviously false, though the email could be an indicator of the time they will stop letting accepted people know?

But in my email that gives me the USCID it says this: PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS: This notice is not an indicator of an admission decision. Financial aid information is gathered and reviewed for all financial aid applicants, regardless of admission status.

So yes, like you said.

Definitely a good sign!

For anyone who really wants to go to film school badly I think LIU's program is really cool and worth a look. Not to mention much cheaper than the big schools. It's rolling admission. I applied and have been accepted. The app is nowhere near as stringent as the program is only 4 years old. Checkout their websites:

@Fanfand congrats on all your acceptance letters! You must have submitted some kicka@@ work. what disipline did u want to focus on? Production or screenwriting? narrative or doc? Are u more traiditional "commerical", independent or surreal/ arthouse (I saw u were accepted to SAIC - kinda wish I applied)? I don't know anything about Northwestern, but from the research I have done most schools have a reputation for specializing in a certain type of filmmaking that might help u decide...although a scholarship would be nice !!!

I want to do weird / mainstream movie, like Tim Burton and An Li's <Life of Pi> maybe
I submitted two pretty sureal peices to the schools, I didn't know anyone would even take them seriously, kind of like <The melancholy death of oyster boy> , so I am really flattered and grateful
