[dusty_rose]

me either ...bha...it's like waiting to open up your christmas presents, but you don't know when christmas day is or if it will ever come. aye aye aye

 

[filmboy114]

What financial aid email?!!! Oh gosh.

 

[ath579]

I got that financial email too but I highly doubt it means anything.

 

[Sophie]

I didn't got that email and can't log in either..I just got an email for financial support about two weeks ago. Feel a bit confused. I think I just need to wait patiently...

 

[achorusisrising]

I have a feeling that the international applicants were the only ones who received acceptances, considering the extra hoops they have to go through in order to attend school here.

What do you all think?

 

[dusty_rose]

@filmboy it was a request to submit supplemental forms for financial aid. But it said in big bold letters that it is not an indicator of admission decision. so no worries.

@sophie since your int'l I don't think it would apply to you.

@williebeamen congrats!!!!!!! just curious, are you an int'l student? oh, and are you named after the football player in Any given sunday?

Does anyone know anything about the Annenberg Fellowship, and how students are selected for it?

 

[achorusisrising]

Filmboy --

From the Annenberg Scholarship's website:

The USC Annenberg Graduate Fellowship Program will fund annually at least 100 world-class graduate students in the USC Annenberg School for Communication, the USC School of Cinematic Arts, and the USC Viterbi School of Engineering...
All USC Annenberg Fellows who are pursuing either the M.A. or M.F.A. degrees will receive an annual stipend of $20,000, full tuition remission, payment of health and dental insurance and mandatory fees. The number of years of fellowship funding and the extent of matching funds provided by the Schools will vary among the eligible programs.

Amazing. One could only dream.

Hello,

Congrats on everyone who's gotten in, and best of luck to all of those still waiting to find out their status. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about the process or school in general, but I also have a question for all of you...

I'm currently producing a graduate film at USC and we are looking to crew. We are in need of the following positions:

AD
AC
PAs
Gaffers

Prior experience is a plus but we are more than willing to offer on-site training if you are interested in a position that you don't have experience in. The shoot dates are as follows:

Saturday, March 2nd
Sunday, March 3rd
Saturday March 9th
Sunday March 10th

If you can make any of the shoot dates please let me know. This will be a great and fun opportunity to boost your resume and meet some people at USC (if you're interested in attending/applying).

I worked on one of these before I was accepted and speaking with the students and crewing helped me get a great idea of what USC is and what they're looking for in an applicant.

Compensation will consists of: Copy, Credit, Meals.

Thanks for your time!

Thanks @achorusisrising! So I guess there's really nothing we could have done but submit a stellar application in order to be considered for something like this. There's no additional application forms. But wow... what a comprehensive package!

Hi everyone, is your email for financial aid same as the following one?
FYI I'm an international student had an interview and submitted my financial support and SCA Scholarship Application around 1st, Feb.
