I know, I know. And also, maybe people who were rejected don't wanna say they were. I certainly wouldn't. So if you don't see me on here anymore, you can put two and two together.

Hey STG,

I thought about it (rejections left to the end), but it would toss out Neville's previous theory of randomness, which I pretty much had already accepted! =)

What we can infer is that probably most of the people who were already rejected are not on these boards, which takes us to the possible fact (which I read somewhere in this forum and totally agree) that people who are as interested as we are (meaning: have abdicated real life over this online craziness) have a tendecy to be accepted.

In short: just being here makes us more likely to get in. =)

And don't you dare abandoning us, STG! =)
But then again, you won't have to...

 

[smell_the_glove]

I could never abandon my pups!

 

[Neville26]

There was one rejection early on STG, wasn't there? I'm pretty sure there was. But they never posted again after they got rejected.

 

[smell_the_glove]

Well, my method involved searching for the word, "reject" on all the pages. I only found a few, and those were for other programs. There are two waitlisters, but the rest are all acceptances. Maybe if I typed in a different word like, denied, it would come with different results. But this doesn't prove anything, of course. I was just bored and I can't seem to get anything important done. I have never been so obsessed with anything.

 

[Neville26]

okay but remember, some acceptance letters were mailed out 10 days ago, some 3 days ago...my guess is they are still releasing them. I may not be one of them, but some people out there who still haven't heard will be getting accepted. Let's hope.

Hope.

I think there's only one waitlister.

And five acceptances. Congrats KayS! Wooo!

Also, again, USC doesn't do interviews for screenwriting over the phone or otherwise.

(waits impatiently, taps foot)

 

[smell_the_glove]

I just looked and I overlooked Get Me OUt of the Economy--who is a waitlister too. SimAlex and Mags are waitlisted as well. I hope I don't sound too obsessive and creepy. I'm beginning to weird myself out.

 

[smell_the_glove]

I was wondering, has anyone received the financial aid email recently?

 

[Sonia]

Here comes another week, guys! Good things are going to happen.

 

[smell_the_glove]

Whoops. Get Me Out of The Economy is a MA applicant. Sorry. So there's only two waitlisters for screenwriting so far.

 

[Neville26]

I love STG that you are being obsessive and creepy. It is endearing. God should smile down upon that kind of creepy commitment. Besides, all the great writers in history possessed that so you're in good company.

 

[redic]

Hey Sonia, I know you're frothing to take a victory slurp from that tall styrofoam cup of fruity goodness. Thanks for waiting! haha

 

[smell_the_glove]

Aww, thanks so much Neville! I'm glad it's endearing to you because it ain't so endearing to all the people who have to listen to me whine. I am constantly talking about my theories of why I haven't gotten a letter yet, and they are none too happy. So hopefully this will all be over soon, and will seem a distant memory.

I got in!!

I was accepted to the production program and I received my letter on Saturday. It came in a big envelope and it was from Graduate Admissions. It said I would be receiving another letter from the actual department soon.
Here are some things that happened prior to receiving my letter.

-I received the supplemental form email.

-I was called from a faculty member for a short interview.

-I did TERRIBLE on my GRE's.

-Two of my letters of rec were from USC Alumni.

-I have a BA in Television Broadcasting.

-I wore my USC sweatshirt all the time trying to send out a vibe haha

If anyone has any other questions I would happy to answer them.

 

[Astantax]

Congratulations MoeFab!!! You give me hope! Let's hope my incoming letter is as favorable!

 

[kevinaced]

Hi guys! I also was accepted into the production program this weekend. I nearly cried, I never thought I had a shot.

To all those who are worried about their GRE scores, don't, I did awful, I got a 950. I also had no background in film, I did poli sci/international relations for my undergrad.

I didn't post much, but let me just say what a fantastic group this is. You are all so talented, and having this community to come to while going through the process made it all so much easier. I can't wait to meet you all in August, and to those who don't get in, keep applying, getting rejected is not a reflection of your talent or ability!

 

[Filipe]

Hey production guys! Congratulations on getting accepted!

Hope to be there to write the movies for you to produce. =) Hopefully with STG and Neville (and all the other screenwriting applicants who hang around here) by my side. =)

 

[Sonia]

Yay! Congratulations, Moe & Kev! I can't wait to meet you guys. Moe””I saw several people in USC sweatshirts on the days before and after I got my letter. And I live in Minnesota.

Redic, you're right. I'm more and more excited for my smoothie. (Except I think Kiernan & I are taking the peanut butter route.) Good luck, everyone else!

STG, feel free to pour out your theories here (well... more of them) if the people in the 'real world' have had enough.

 

[Zumbi]

Congrats, guys!
All of you.

Just to be prepared IN CASE I got in...

What do you guys are doing regarding to scholarships? I mean, for international students ALSO, of course...

Need to sart thinking about this....
