For those who are accepted, have any of you heard anything regarding financial aid and/or scholarships? It's pretty insane that they they expect us to accept enrollment before we see any indication of financial aid, whether loans or otherwise.

Granted, I was unable to watch any of the webinars that addressed financial aid, so if any of you know something that I don't, I'd be grateful for some clarification.

No haven't heard anything regarding scholarships or financial aid either. It's very disconcerting. I had called them last Thursday and they said we should hear by march 29th. That didn't happen!

So I contacted the school to ask about SCA scholarships, and was told that if you have not received an email about it, that means you weren't awarded anything. So...

@ filmboy: regarding producing applicants or all disciplines?

To those of you admitted: How are you financing this? I only qualified for 20,500 in loans via financial aid, so I am short about 35,000. I applied for the Grad Plus Loan, so hopefully that will make up the difference, but if there are other options out there, I would love to know! Thanks!

Hello, I am preparing to apply to USC's SCA for both the Film/TV Production and Screenwriting MFA for Fall 2014. I am going to visit USC sometime in July and am trying to make arrangements with the school for a tour. However, I keep hearing about interviews? I would definitely like to set up an admission interview if possible.

Any advice on visiting would be helpful! I am new here but will be sticking around during my application process.

Lets continue this thread for the admissions for fall 2014.
I really hope I will be accepted at SCA!

What's up everyone!

I'm a current graduate student at USC's Cinematic Arts Program. I got recommended by a colleague to check out the site.

If anyone has questions on the application process or applying let me know! I'd be happy to answer what I can.

Hi, I'm interested on applying to the USC Cinematic Arts. My questions will be a litlle bit far beyond applying. Does the institution itself has housing options available for students in case you get accepted? If not which are the procedures to buy an apartament? With whom I can contact? This questions are meant for me to oversee things before I apply.

Hello Xay!
I am applying to USC and I have a question about the Writing Sample, this is the one I chose: "An outline for a four-minute film that contains no dialogue. It can be fiction or non-fiction. The story has to be communicated visually."
I already finished my story, but I wanted to know if I need to put a title to it?
Thanks!!
